Dude, you make that Commander looks like a small sedan in size, standing next to it lol Anyway, I have an XJ and last week I bought a 2007 Jeep Commander, I still love my XJ and have it for over 20 years, but boy the Commander is a sweet Jeep, it's ridiculously smooth to drive. I've been looking for a Commander for over a year, don't know why exactly, but probably for how similar to the XJ it is, it's like an overgrown XJ, and it's just as cool

I have a 2008 limited luxury 2 package. Basically an overland with out the hemi. 4.7 H.O. 303 stock horse and 333 stock torque. My dream truck. Bought the beast at 20 years old and paid it off. Off lease, 32000 miles. Its the BEST truck I've EVER owned, being a former mechanic, and from a jeep family, these trucks are gold. Had a 1994 ZJ with the 5.2 prior to this, great truck but can't compare to the commander; They're just made different. Zues as I call him; 10 years later he has 135000 miles now, 2 inch lift, kenda klever mt tires, duel open air filter, flow master exhaust with a removed resonater. Roller rockers and lifters. Still runs brand new. Never misses a beat. If you can buy one, do it. You won't be disappointed

Sorry for the late reply Joseph! I can say that my Commander is off getting a new Hemi right now. As much as I would love to do the Commander myself, my TJ Wrangler really is my main focus at the moment and I need my Commander to be my family SUV. I'm looking forward to getting it back however with that said I'll keep an eye out for the 4.7 V8 as well, I maybe should have gone with that engine instead!

I've owned 2 Commanders, both have been extremely reliable. Our 2nd one has 185k miles on it and shows no signs of stopping. You did purchase the one model year I would probably have avoided, just do not let that motor get hot and you should be ok. The Valve Guides weren't seated properly and like to drop into the cylinder if the motor overheats...so keep an eye on it. I prefer the 2nd Gen V8's they put in the later model years. 08-09 4.7L got a redesign and doesn't have MDS, 70 more HP & more Tq. 09-10 Hemi added HP & Tq as well, and vastly improved reliability. But..if you treat yours right, it'll be a great vehicle.

I have a Grand Cherokee (WK) 5.7/Quadradrive II, which has the same chassis/drivetrain I think. Same as you, the towing capacity and Quadradrive were a big part of it (it is amazing in the snow with good tires). I put a basic Daystar 2" spacer lift and Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 265/65/R18s on it. It's a bit of a pain to work on compared to the CJ though.
@RustyAutoholicGuy3 жыл бұрын
One of the reasons I got the Commander was the basic same parts as the WK as well. I find more other Jeeps are not as easy to work on as the CJs/Wranglers though I can not speak for the JKs and JLs, my Liberty has always been a difficult vehicle to work on.

@@RustyAutoholicGuy I started with the v8 Grand Cherokee and then going to the i6 TJ, I really missed the power and torque of the V8. V8 fuel economy was better too when I had mud tires as well, but that could probably have been fixed with gearing.
