Glad you are looking for a TV different than the Cherokee. I had a Cherokee, 6 cyl engine. It would not tow your TT better than the Liberty. BUT, it would be more stable than the Liberty.
The Liberty is pretty short to be towing a TT of that size. While it may pull and stop okay under normal conditions, how would it handle emergency maneuvers? That is where I get skeptical of the shorter tow vehicles.
That said, I tow with a Grand Cherokee, but my TT is 3500 lbs fully loaded. So, I don't have the same forces on my Jeep as what you have. My TT tows at 18', and half-height, which is completely different physics dynamics than your setup.
Good luck on the search for a TV! While getting back into payments is painful, it will be a better, and safer, towing experience.
