Jeep Liberty

The badge on the side says trail rated. Little did I know we would be putting that to the test. The vehicle we tested was the Jeep Liberty Limited. All Liberty’s come with a 3.7L SOCH V6. It puts out 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft or torque. Gas mileage is 16 city and 21 highway. 17”X7.0 Victory Aluminum wheels are standard on the Limited. Ours came equipped with black leather, navigation, and a very nice Sky Slider ™ full open roof. It’s perfect for enjoying great weather. There was plenty of that for this drive.
The Plan was to take the Jeep Liberty to an appropriate scenic setting for a 4X4 and snap some shots. The drive along the way on streets and highway was very smooth. We ended up on Silverado Canyon Road, which eventually turns into a single lane dirt road. The road begins to climb up the mountains of the Cleveland National Forest. The drive was going quite well until we had some overheating issues with the transmission. The warning light came on a few times.
