As an "expedition" platform, the Liberty would be a poor choice for long international trips anyways for a myriad of reasons.
How so??
Our entire goal at Overland Expeditions was to dispell the MYTH that vehicles like the Liberty are useless for anything but grocery getting.
I think we did that....over and over again.
9,500 km supported round trip through Canada and the US. including the Continental Divide, Glacier National Park, Moab in July and Colorado Mountains.
5,000 km unsupported round trip of Ontario and Quebec.
6,500 km unsupported round trip out to Northern British Columbia through the mountains
3,000 km unsupported trip from souothern Ontario to Halifax NS.
All trips loaded with about 900 LBS of gear, fully expedition prepared with driver and navigator.
The Liberty held out amazingly and ran like a champion on and offroad in a variety of pretty brutal runs while away with ONE breakdown, the only work done was oil change and replacing the AC clutch.
Having had real world experience with a 2006 Liberty Renegade all over North America and back with one small issue, I'm going to have to go ahead and totally disagree with you that the Liberty is a poor choice for expedition use. It was quite good, in fact, excellent. I would recommend to anyone for that application.
