Need help determining 4wd type

[pat2105]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Jeep community. I've settled on a Jeep Liberty:

The price is right and I'm excited but the dealer can't tell me if it's a Command Track or Select Track? How do I figure this out?

It's a 2003 Renegade Version.

Thanks everyone!

Pat

Select-Trac has a 4-Full Time setting for use on any road surface.

Look at the drive selector lever; if you see 4-Full Time it has Select-Trac.

when i tried to run my vin through jeep.com it says it doesnt exist, yet it worked on carfax

I'm surprised the dealer doesn't know the difference. I'm assuming it's a used car dealer, not a chrysler one?

I can BARELY see the shifter, but it looks like Command-Trac to me.

The Command-Trac will have 4 positions on the shift lever; the Select-Trac 5.

As for the outstanding ball joint recall, Have the guy your buying from take care of the recall before you buy it. I know in most states, it's illegal for a used car business, as well as dealerships, to sell a vehicle to a customer (be it used or new) with incomplete recalls on them.

I think unless you do ********* trails with ********* mods, both 4wd systems will work well for you on the trail. The easiest way to tell is written in the previous post, you'll have to look at the transfer case shifter. I have the Command-Trac and it works great.

Many Thanks!

Wow---awesome community! I talked to the dealer, he runs a used lot, not a Chrystler dealer, but he said he bought it from Chrystler Financial (not quite sure what that means).

Thanks to everyone who posted. Your help and enthusiasm just sealed the deal for me. He's having the recall done and I'm picking it up on Friday!

I appreciate all the quick responses. Thanks again! I look forward to becoming an active forum member and happy owner.

Welcome home,
Loads of information to absorb here.
Thanks to this site I saved $90.00 in labour charges when I installed a part that took all of 10-15 minutes to complete.
Many many cool people here too!
(Cheers)

That means that it was probably a lease return.
