Willys jeeps " Willys MB "

The Willys MB US Army Jeep (formally the Truck, 1/4 ton, 4x4), along with the nearly identical Ford GPW, was manufactured from 1941 to 1945.
The small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep, and would inspire many similar Light Utility Vehicles. Over the years, the World War II Jeep later evolved into "CJ" civilian Jeep and has been recognized as a symbol of rugged individualism in twentieth century American History. Its counterpart in the German army was the Volkswagen Kübelwagen, also based on a small automobile, but which used an air-cooled engine and lacked 4 wheel drive.

Jeep Liberty

Auto Jeep Liberty

Jeep Liberty is a 4-door SUV model introduced by Dodge at the Detroit show in 2002 which became the best-selling compact sport utility vehicle in no time, named the North American Truck of the Year for 2002 and the best-selling SUV in the United States for 2005. There are three different trims of Jeep liberty on the market; Jeep Liberty Sport, Jeep Liberty Limited, and Jeep Liberty Renegade. The models for the upcoming year are released in July each year and it is expected to have improvements and changes for the 2008 model jeep.

Jeep Liberty 2008 will feature a cargo slide-out system, hill descent control, factory remote start, and stability control, including roll prevention. Actually the Jeep Liberty has the charm of traditional jeeps that all people know and love, but also great gadgets and off-road performance. Liberty has been upgraded since 2006 to provide more safety with dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, child safety locks, traction control, and stability control. In case of front impact or collision these features are really a safeguard.
Jeep Liberty is a 4-door SUV model

The Renegade and Limited trims features a 3.7-litre V-6, while Liberty Sport has a 2.4-litre V-4 engine, but in all of them controls arrangement has been inspired by European car models. The Liberty also uses an independent suspension similar to that featured in the 1960s Jeep Wagoneer.

In 2005, Jeep Liberty introduced a 2.8-liter common rail diesel (CRD) engine that allows 160 horsepower at 3800 rpm, available for the Sport and Limited trims, increasing power, range, and torque, with the ability to configure it as you like it.

Since its early days to the present, Jeep Liberty has been characterized by improvement in interior refinements and refreshing exterior look offering both durability and power-up comfort, legacy from Jeep Cherokee, the name preserved outside the United States . Another remarkable fact is Jeep's exterior resembling the popular Jeep Willy’s of the past.

Performance is always a guarantee when it comes to buying a Dodge vehicle, besides the range of interior amenities and accessories included from the factory, along with the color packages available in all Jeep models at all Daimler-Chrysler dealerships.

Jeep Liberty offers a large number of trims to satisfy anyone, including the 2004 special-value Columbia Edition trim, 16-inch wheels in graphite color, featuring foglamps, and moonroof/sunroof that today is a collectible vehicle. Liberty was also the first diesel-powered mid-size sport-vehicle in America with increased range and torque.

All Liberty models wear the Jeep Trail Rated badge, which guarantees that this four-wheel vehicle can challenge any off-road condition. Jeep Trail Rated badge is only granted to vehicles which fulfill the requirements of maneuverability, traction, articulation, ground clearance, and water fording.

Jeep Commander

The Name Jeep Commander calls to mind images of daring swashbucklers on fearless adventures at the far corners of the earth. As such, Jeep's latest SUV is aptly named; it possesses every inch of the go-anywhere bravado implicit in its moniker. With three rows of seating and room for up to seven passengers, the Commander is the most spacious SUV Jeep has ever produced.

Although not quite as capable off-road as the smaller Jeeps, among SUVs in its size class the Commander is a superb trail-buster, able to tackle rock-strewn paths and steep mountain tracks without breaking a sweat. Less thrilling, however, are the Jeep Commander's lackluster interior materials, cramped third row, so-so cargo capacity and poor fuel mileage with the larger engines.

Current Jeep Commander

The three-row Jeep Commander is available in two trims: Sport and Limited. The Sport comes standard with power accessories, a power driver seat, air-conditioning and a CD stereo. The Limited trim honeys the mix with heated leather seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable pedals, a power tailgate, satellite radio and a power sunroof with twin skylights in the second row. Buyers can also snag options like a navigation system and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.

The base Jeep Commander Sport gets its pep from a standard 3.7-liter V6 capable of 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque, a barely adequate engine in the 4,800-pound Commander. The Limited model has more punch thanks to a 5.7-liter V8 (optional on Sport), which cranks out 357 hp and 389 lb-ft of torque. Those who choose the base model may equip it with a full-time all-wheel-drive system. Jeep also offers two sophisticated four-wheel-drive systems for those planning to take their Commanders on off-road trails, including Quadra-Drive II, which features Hill Start and Descent Assist technology. All models come with a five-speed automatic transmission.

Slide inside the Commander's cabin and you'll find yourself enveloped in comfortable seats. An upscale two-tone decor makes for an attractive interior, but there's too much hard plastic for an SUV in this price range. (The Limited is a bit nicer.) There aren't any midsize SUVs that offer truly spacious third-row seating; still, even by these low standards, legroom in the Commander's third row falls short and is suitable only for children. Cargo capacity is unspectacular as well, largely because of the packaging issues created by the Jeep's solid-axle rear suspension and generous ground clearance. The SUV offers 7.5 cubic feet with all three rows in use, 36.4 with the third row stowed and 68.9 cubic feet with all rear seats folded. These numbers would be OK for a compact SUV, but they're minuscule for a midsize sport-ute.

In reviews, we've praised the Jeep Commander for its off-road capabilities and powerful available V8. Opinions about ride quality are mixed; some have found the Jeep to provide a tranquil ride but others, expecting a more secure feel, deem it wallowy. Handling on pavement is competent for a nearly 5,000-pound vehicle, but not the least bit sporting. The base V6 doesn't hustle the Commander with much authority. The 5.7-liter V8 is both powerful and relatively fuel-efficient.

Grand Cherokee 2005 Suspension and steering

An all-new independent front suspension provides the driver with a greater sense of precision and control, more precise steering, and reduces vehicle weight and head toss.

Front suspension wheel travel is increased 13 percent over the previous generation vehicle, and a tight turning diameter of 37.1 ft. is improved over the current Jeep Grand Cherokee to provide even more nimble handling.

The new five-link rear suspension geometry, including a track bar, also improves lateral stiffness to match that of the front suspension for optimum handling.

The Dynamic Handling System (DHS) is standard with the Hemi engine -- Chrysler's first use of a hydraulic-controlled active stabilizer system. DHS significantly reduces body roll, resulting in sportier handling when turning or maneuvering, while providing a smoother ride when traveling straight ahead. Traditionally, a stiff stabilizer bar improves handling, but diminishes ride quality. The Jeep DHS overcomes this by effectively decoupling the front and rear stabilizer bars except when they are needed to improve cornering performance.

Suspension and steering

Also offered for the first time, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe driving maneuvers on any type of surface. Using signals from sensors throughout the vehicle, the system determines the appropriate brake and throttle adjustments for directional stability of the vehicle.

Grand Cherokee's new rack-and-pinion steering system imparts a more precise steering feel translated to the driver through fewer linkages than a recirculating ball steering system. Even with the 2.5-inch increase in track, Grand Cherokee's nimbleness and tight turning diameter are maintained with the new steering system.

The DHS uses the steering angle sensor, center of gravity lateral accelerometer and upper lateral accelerometer to determine when the stabilizer bar is necessary. Actuators pressurize the bar links when the bar is required. While traveling straight on-road, the actuators float and the bar can travel to the limits of the links. DHS delivers a high level of driver confidence by significantly reducing body roll in tight turns, resulting in sportier handling and maneuvering, while providing a smoother ride when traveling straight ahead.

Auto Jeeps grand cherokee 2005 - 2007

The 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee had more power, off-road capability, and comfort and convenience features, with a choice of four engines: the Hemi, 4.7 V8, 3.7 V6, and (for a time) a Mercedes diesel.

The 2005-2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV details and buyer guide

The 3.7 came with a Mercedes five-speed, the V8s with a Chrysler five-speed automatic with dual second gears. The Hemi brought an additional 60 hp and 40 lb-ft of torque over the 4.7 High Output V8 with no gas mileage penalty; the V6 brings an extra 15 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque.

New for 2005 were an active suspension and electronic differentials, and an independent front suspension for better on-road handling and feel. New gadgets, from DVD to navigation to automatically-lowering headlights, round out the package, and a new interior increases the sense of luxury. The Grand Cherokee now gets the Federal government's highest safety rating. For 2007, a diesel was added (see below); for 2008, the 4.7 got a major power boost, features were added, interior and exterior styling was tweaked, and other minor changes were made.

2005 Grand Cherokee automatic transmissions

A five-speed Mercedes automatic transmission (W5A580) is used with the 3.7-liter V-6. It features partial engagement in third, fourth, and fifth gears to improve shift feel, economy, and transmission cooling. Like the 545RFE and all other modern Chrysler automatics, the shift schedule adapts to the driver's style, road situations, and other factors.

The 545RFE five-speed automatic transmission continues to be used with V8s, with refinements for higher-quality shifts and increases to the Grand Cherokee's towing capacity, including:

• a redesigned solenoid to provide quieter operation when shifting from "park" into "drive."
• a turbine damper reduces noise and vibration related to torque converter application.

The 545RFE continues to offer dual second-gear ratios to provide a balance of performance and fuel economy. Depending on driving conditions, the transmission will select the more appropriate second gear. A secondary overdrive ratio increases highway fuel economy and reduces engine noise at high speeds.

The 545RE has three planetary gear sets and one overrunning clutch, with Electronic Range Select (ERS) driver-interactive control ("AutoStick"?), and an electronically controlled torque converter clutch.

Both transmissions feature Electronic Range Select (ERS) driver interactive shift control for the first time on Grand Cherokee. The shifter provides fully-automated shifting when in the "drive" position, or the driver can manually select each gear by simply moving the shifter left and right from the "drive" position. This gives the driver control to precisely match any on-road or off-road driving requirement.

A new stamped steel transfer case skid plate mounts to the transmission cross member and fuel tank skidplate to provide off-road protection to the transfer case.
