Just tried to configure one and you definitely can't get one on the WT package
Total non issue. I owned a VM 2.8L in a 2006 Jeep Liberty. Replaced the belt according to scheduled maintenance at 100K miles and the old one was just discolored and only slightly worn. Looked like good for another 50K at least. Wasn't all that expensive of a deal. Replaced the idler pulleys and tensioner at the same time.
