I, too, am shopping for a tow. However, when researching I found the Patriot had a low tow capacity. My notes reflect 2,000 lbs? I'm shopping for at least a 3,500 tow rating, and would prefer 5,000. The Liberty has 5K.

This puts a bad taste in my mouth with Jeep because I only had 60,000 miles on the vehicle. I had the engine oil cooler installed at a dealer, which is really the only engine component that makes the Jeep able to tow (other than the hitch and wiring assembly).
