The last model year for the "Cherokee" was 2001. It ended on June 22nd. Ours (well, our son's) was built on June 19th. It's one of 500 named "FINAL 500" ~ The FINAL 500 were equipped with every single option they had. (Called "Blow out the Options ~ cause they will not fit on a Liberty)! They came only in Silver, Black, White, Bright Red or Dark Blue. They are really overloaded - even with dual power heated leather seats and Amp & Sub Woofer & CD Stereo and automatic headlight delay.
When you out it into 4WD, in Lo gear, and put the tranny into Lo, I think she could pull our garage off its foundation!
The LIBERTY went into production on May1st 2001 so BOTH were production at the same time for 50 days !
