My mom drove a Commander new from 2006 to 2022 when the engine went out at only ~150k miles. Was never sure what happened to it, but she got $1000 for it not running. It was the 5.7 Hemi Limited and never got more than 13 mpg for whatever reason, even on long highway drives. It also had radiator problems, but she really liked it. She had (and still has a 1996 XJ) new from the dealer, so she liked having another Jeep vehicle that was bigger to haul family around. Her Commander didn't have the color screen as shown in this video though, but it did have that neat brown leather interior which held up well. The rear little ceiling windows were also pretty neat. She was very sad when it died, because the exterior and interior looked immaculate because she took care of it. It had the design of a Land Rover. She wanted to get another Jeep like a Grand Cherokee or Wagoneer, but I told her I would avoid Jeeps these days so she went with a different brand instead. BTW, her 96 XJ has 199k miles on it and still runs like new! We took that XJ on several offroad trips in New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona over the years. It just keeps going with it's 4.0 inline 6 engine. Somebody out there is driving a nice 2006 Commander for pretty cheap after they fixed the engine.

3.7 is a gutless, inefficient engine - I know it because I have one in an '08 GC - you know it as well. The thing about that engine is that it's sneaky good at hanging around for a loooooong time. At 250k, you obviously know it...ours has 235k on it currently, doesn't burn oil, and just keeps chugging along. All I've ever done with it is stay on schedule with oil changes, give it an air filter every now and then, and change the plugs (once). I'm sure you're like me....I don't care much about the fact that it doesn't pull as well as a hemi when it's still running strong after all these years. Honestly, I think in a few years, people are going to start to realize that the 3.7 is every bit as good and maybe better than the engine it replaced (the legendary 4.0 straight six). Yeah...I said it.

After reading a lot of these comments, apparently I got a decent one. Bought an '08 Hemi 1-owner with over 80k miles in 2017 and love it more every year. We've got 150k miles on it now. It has never left us stranded in snowy winters or blistering heat. Kept up with the basics (periodic fluid and filter changes). Repairs have been one differential bearing at 120k (was getting noisy), an 02 sensor and passenger side-view mirror at 133k (the heating feature was discoloring the mirror), a thermostat around 140k and a recently a water pump and different 02 sensor. Weak areas are the A/C (could be colder) and the design of the drains for the sunroof (I had to unclog them twice to alleviate drainage backup into the front footwells; found a tip/trick on KZbin a few years ago and no problem since then. We're keeping it until it's no longer possible to drive it.

We owned a 2007 with the 4.7 from 2008-2023. Aside from some electrical gremlins thanks in part to one too many rainstorms with the sunroof open, it was a great car and always got us where we were going. Was amazing in the snow with the Quadra-Trac II drivetrain and with the tow package it was very capable with a trailer or boat. My main issues with it were the handling and odd shift pattern. Had significant body roll on tight turns, and whenever you lay on the throttle under load the kick down would make the engine scream at 4500 rpm. We lost it to an accident last summer, but it went out pushing 260,000 miles with no significant engine trouble and minimal rust, an impressive feat for 16 years of punishing Michigan winters. I miss that thing.

I love the look of the Commander, looks clean and macho, like a big SUV should. But it came as a surprise to me that it's only a couple of inches longer than the Grand Cherokee of its day. I guess all these straight lines, along with its overall boxy shape, make it look larger. Very interesting.

First off, nothing that has over 200 horsepower is "underpowered". Perhaps your expectations and standards have gotten too damn high, just like your insurance rates, and you need a reality check. Second, I sold these brand new when I was working as a new car salesman at a Jeep dealer. When these first hit the lot, they sold before we could even get a chance to "dress them". Sold em wrapped in plastic with window stickers intact. The most popular models we sold were actually the V6 base models with only one or two options. This was back when SUVs were real SUVs and people didn't drive them like they were driving 4 wheel drive Corvettes. Commander answered a question only the Grand Cherokee owners asked for a long time..."Can we get a 3rd row seat?". Jeep answered. Obviously, if you didn't ask that question then the Commander was not meant for you.

I liked the look, but the rear seats were 👎 We had a 1st Generation Liberty whose look I liked but the 2nd Generation Liberty looked like a downsized Commander….which didn’t work on the smaller SUV

Good idea, I personally like the design because I have an XJ, just terrible execution

2009 Commander loved it until a computer glitch shut it down permanently Oh it could be fixed but for nearly triple what I paid for it. No more Jeeps I’m done.

In China, they have this Jeep called the Grand Commander. The Jeep Commander is the most forgotten Jeep here ever.

@@workingcountry1776 Plenty of room, not hard to service at all, the 4.7 and 5.7 are very good engines! I’ve yet to have ever replace a 4.7. And I work at a dealer.

I had two neighbors and later a client who had these. All three loved theirs, and I thought they were appealing. I know the interiors had cheap touches, but compared to competitors at the time they weren’t bad really. I think the press killed these, and they were an easy and visible target for derision in late 2007 and early 2008 when the economy started crashing.

Poor sales combined with questionable long term reliability is a major contributor to that. Generally, everything from Detroit’s Big 3 was of similar experience.
