Jeep Commander 6-Month Review!! Is It Reliable?? 

I loved my Commander. When I see one still on the road now I go nostalgic!

The Commander was given classic-era Jeep stylization at a time when most vehicles suffered from bland, rounded designs. A V8 is a V8, Hemi or not. Sadly they'll try to phase these engines out in the next few years entirely. I think the Commander has a lot of potential to win back the hearts of Jeep enthusiasts in the future given that it was only produced for 6 years and is a bit more distinguished than Liberties and Patriots. It shares the spirit of classic Jeeps from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

I bought my commander 2006 in 2019 and drove from Phoenix Arizona to Seattle WA with a trailer on a back - no problem. Love it!!!

I love my 5.7 Hemi Commander Overland. Yes it takes 16 spark plugs and yes you have to keep up with things that crop up (starter a couple of weeks ago, that was fun to change). The big thing with it is the QuadraDrive II with ELSD's, that setup is incredible. Still deciding if it needs a 2" lift, but it does look cool ! Thanks for the vids !

We’ve had a v6 diesel Commander for over 10 years and have had barely any issues. Granted, it only has 50 thousand miles now but what I love most about it is the smooth engine and easy ride. I think it is fast enough for its size, especially your one. But that’s personally opinion.

The Commander looks outstanding! And complicated. You're brave to take on the challenge.

I absolutly love the commander. It is perfect for my needs. I got my first one back in early 2010 and drove it until early 2015 when he was totaled due to no fault of his or mine. When I was looking for a new vehicle recently, a commander was definitely in the running. So now I have my second one and I still love it. Everything you said about it being slow is completely accurate. It does absolutely everything slow. And gods forbid you want to accelerate up a hill. But, I accept all that for the added interior space. As a single mum regularly traveling to vendor shows or camping trips, I will take all the storage space I can get. I also use it to haul a small horse trailer short distances. I'm not sure how it would do hauling for long hours, but it suits my local needs very well. The first one I had, I don't remember having any major mechanical issues with it. I did need to replace the valves on all 4 tires tho. My current commander needed a complete engine overhaul but I knew that when I purchased it. The previous owners were not good to him. I also replaced the interior door handles (same as you) and have a few other little things that need to get done. But I trust that this jeep will be in my life for many years. They realy are a great vehicle.

Even beat up these will run forever. Mine is truly a shit box but doesnt quit. Yours looks good man

You've done good with the commander. I'm an xB owner and I don't hate it 😅 I wouldn't get one, but I can appreciate a good looking car 😁

I just bought one of these same year , I've owned it for a week anyway was happy to come across your video thanks!

Great review and video Brandon! Keep them coming brother!

Been missing the jeep videos, even though I don't own one or have any desire to get one. Just miss the content. Glad you're doing well. Keep the videos coming when you can!

Hey, just found this video... I'm watching your channel in reverse. LOL! I ended up replacing all of my wheel hub/bearing assemblies at 128k miles. One was starting to make some noise, so I just did them all. FYI: I've driven my Commander from Clearwater FL to Portland Or... no problems. I'm currently at 146k with the hemi 5.7. I'm the original owner, so my hemi is just fine and has tons of power and I think it's fun to drive. Ha ha! Your engine bay is super clean!!! Love what you're doing with your XK!!!

Your Commander looks awesome, nice wheels and tires I bought a 2007 one last year, and I absolutely love everything about it. I also have an old 93 XJ so you can tell I like boxy Jeeps lol. One of the things I like about the Commander is that it sort of resemble the XJ, just a bit grown up

I had a 2008 Jeep commander HEMI. After covid I changed my job but it require me to drive 120 miles every day, I had to sell it. With crazy gas prices it was not worthy, I loved it and I missed it. I was driving a 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid but I ended up selling, not fun. I bought a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4. I am impressed the technology my commander had, auto on/wipers, auto high beams, pedal control, seats memory, etc my cherokee does not have that.

DRIVER SEAT SIDE COVER . Fixed mine by drilling a hole in metal frame and placing thin bolt pointed to seat base. simple work. not ugly. Cleaned up decomposing rubber by using onbe time rags and rubbing alchol. worked.

Nice Commander. I bought a 2007 Commander 4x4 Sport V6 3.7 in 2015 and it’s amazing. It’s clean. Leather seats no marks. Interior is like new. It has 154,000 miles and purrs like a kitten. I follow the maintenance schedule religiously and log everything. I’ve replaced the backup sensors and the ignition switch per/recall. I will never get rid of it. I did purchase a Cherokee in 2020 but my Commander is my baby girl. Phat Tires 275/60 R17 gives it the look. Stuff that wears is replaced brake pads, bearings , battery. For me regular maintenance = low maintenance. No bolt ones. I did install a tow hitch and driving lamps. You can eat off my engine it’s so clean. No work other than maintenance has been done. Castro Syntec 5w30 + oil filter at the required intervals. It’s a great vehicle. I pull my Bass Boat with it effortlessly and it has never given me a issue that has made me curse it. I replaced the am/fm radio with a full blown in dash entertainment center w/Bluetooth man I love this Commander. Nuff Said.

Great video bro! It’s about time more people made videos about the Commander. I have an 07’ 3.7L w/ 198,000 miles on mine and it stills runs good. The best thing I ever did was buy this thing by Sawyer Tuning. It connects in between your gas pedal connector( I’m no mechanic by any means so excuse the lack of correct terminology) and has 3 different modes. But it instantly made my Commander a lot quicker than it was. It almost felt like I was driving a new vehicle, no b.s. I think I paid around hundred bucks for it but man it was worth it. I recently got another tuner by the same company that plugs into your obd2 port and so far I’m not too impressed. I haven’t noticed any difference. Do you have the “Transmission Overtemp” issue yet? It’s a pain in the ass. There are random times I’ll get in to go somewhere and my Commander will not start. A light will come on and say “ Transmission Overtemp”. So I’ll have to dick with turning it on and off a few times until it finally starts up. I have searched all over for a solid reason and fix for it and haven’t found one. But beside that happening every now and then it’s a great vehicle. I replaced the front and rear light covers for tinted ones. It makes it look bad ass. I got BF Goodrich T/A K02’s for tires which makes it look tough as hell. But the next thing I’m thinking about doing is picking up a cold air intake like you have on your Commander. It’s a bit pricey at over $400 but I heard a lot of good things about that particular model. Yeah man, I’m happy that you are making videos on the Commander. Thanks!

Hey bro, great video, I own 2010 commander V6 sport black with chrome. 66,000 miles, driving it to and from work for ten years, I have no complaints. other then basic oil and filter, tires and brakes, never had any real issues at all. two years ago I did new water pump, and starter recently. but other then that, I;ve had ten years of no problems. Your right it super quiet for suv, no road noise. and plenty leg room of anything I ever drove, and I like boxy old style look. I wish they bring it back.

Got a 2006 Commander a month ago. Put some roof rails on it today, for my Thule Box. Super excited to take it for our first weekend away next week. Dog, kids and wife. Should be fun.

I also live in Orlando Florida and I just bought a 2006 Jeep Commander with the 5.7 Hemi. Always wanted one of these and I'm so glad I finally have one. Definitely an honest and comprehensive review on the Commander

Excellent choice in tires. Put them on my 2020 Ford Ranger extended cab. The stock tires in Wisconsin winters were downtown dangerous. Just trade it the other day for an 07 Commander with the 4.7. I heard all the lemon stories when they first started building them. Mine is clean so I'm optimistic. No truck payment is huge. Always wanted one, now I've got one! Cheers!

Do miss the xB, but love the clips!!! Big fan! 🤘🏼

I have an 06 with the 4.7. On road performance I definitely agree, not the most exhilarating to drive. But once I get it on some dirt it is a ton of fun!

With the HEMI you would have much more fun, then it is the car you jump into to go on your favorite twisty (but not too much) road, and that sound :) But I understand your concerns, good video, cool channel, I will follow your further adventures with commander. Mega comfortable suspension, super tank driving experience, not much room inside and tragic mpg, love it or hate it, its it commander.

Canada here...wazzzzup B! Looking good, usual problems...and lil to no rust=Right on! My wj did the 5000km round trip, Only issues were ABS sensor after being in woods and the jeep saw -38, so heater core shit da bed lol...like you, I'm surprisingly happy...keep turning that wrench playa...one love

Thanks, It's a nice understated unit for tooling in the hills and beach... Hard to find a good one!

...all XB owners hate the tank except this one, I like it. I like the chrome trim on there, goes great with the silver paint! The tank looks fkn badass but you've forgotten to install the rear spotlight for tailgating dipsticks! Cool stuff bro, just waiting for the rooftop bazooka!

Omg!! Your sooo right!! About the seatbelts ! Lol I cleaned mine immediately

My driver side door seal, door handles and plastic seat side panel were exactly like yours. I fixed the seat panel myself, ordered three replacement door handle kits and did those, and I'll be checking local junk yards to find a door seal (new ones are $80). I also repaired both skylight shades. The Chrysler "shade engineer" should have used more metal or thicker/stronger plastic to hold those shades. I had a beautiful low mile 2011 VW Touareg TDI Executive that I sold early this year because of the high market value, and then found my black Commander Limited 4.7 on FBM in NC and had it shipped to MI. I've put a fair amount of money into it but I'm really starting to like the vehicle. It's my first Jeep and I'm looking forward to doing some two tracking and light off roading soon -- the kind of things that my Touareg could also do, but it was too nice to risk scratches and anything else like that from rougher use. I'm surprised that I like the Monroe Matic rear shocks, which are a bit bouncy (low rebound damping) but give a nice ride.

I have the 2007 commander with flex fuel and 4x4 and i love it

Great review

i just got an 06 commander 2 months ago from an 06 mustang - loving it so far

Just got an 06 limitted like yours and had to replace the steering rack because the v shaped cylinder in the adjustment cup was worn out. After doing research, I found out I could have bought a kit to make the whole suspension like new again. Anyway, the steering rack itself is in great shape it was just that small part that messed things up. I am not in the US so it was hard to find any parts, let alone an actual steering rack for the commander. Ended up finding the exact same one from an 07 commander and am replacing it now. I replaced the bushings so far and got new tires, balanced and aligned and serviced the engine. Got it 2 weeks ago, that's all I've done so far. I got Bridgestone A/T 17 inch on it. I actually LOVE the commander. I can't get over how quiet and comfortable it is. I'm ok with it being slow (at first) I'm not after speed, just comfort and a little bit of power. How am I supposed to use the 4x4 low? Only in tough, muddy situations??

Nice to hear you can just buy the inside door handles. I got my '06 commander in 2009, and at that time the handle only came on a new door liner. Thought it would have been nice to have the 08 with the flex fuel 4.7 with the extra power and better mpg, but glad now when I think of all the electronics added made me realize I dodged a bullet.

Another great video. I drive my xb as a daily, but use a gen1 Sequoia for hauling, towing, camping, etc...no need for a truck when you have a few trailers at your disposal....lol

I have a Commander 2006 5,7 HEMI. Good winter car. And speedy!

Great videos. Mine is in Northern Michigan,with 197k miles on it.I agree with almost everything you say but for the fun to drive part. No, it isn't a Miata.but take it off road or over landing. Even stock its at the top of its class there, and The things that make it good there make it a bad sports car. I don't think that's a great comparison.also, in the snow its a beast, almost unstoppable unless you high center it. One other thing. I looked very seriously replacing my commander recently due to the gas mileage and the age. Also the fact that it is difficult to work on your. However, when I looked at the commander compared to a lot of mid-size or 3 row SUV's out there now it has many of the features excluding a good infotainment system. When I couple that with excellent off road capability and the fact that it tows like a champion It was very hard to find a 1-1 replacement for Any sort of decent money. The commander is a much better vehicle than people give it credit for in spite some some of its failings. And that's even even given the Fact that it was built during probably one of the worst years for Chrysler and the companies history; coming off getting ravaged by Daimler (assholes) and taken over by cerberus.

Had an 2008 Hemi & I really miss this thing the Hemi Power Is the Real Thing In the snow it's a BEAST & all weather it's the best... still thinking of getting another one but it has to Hemi 2008 or higher

It'll be interesting to see what adventures you get into in your area. I live in Oregon and we have mountains, rivers and lots of back country to explore. I like watching the TrailRecon and Coyote Works channels. I go for the fast and light method of camping and did not get into the big beast carrying all your stuff with you version that they now call overlanding. I just pack regular camping gear in my 20 year old Highlander and we get the job done going out and finding primitive campsites. Have fun! When I lived in South Georgia many years ago we used to explore fresh water springs in North Florida to cool off.

Nice work! I have a 2010 Commander Sport w/ 5.7 HEMI and OME lift. I am 3.5" over stock but still have same size tires as you.

I love my 2008 Jeep Commander Overland...5.7 Hemi. I bought it new, have 245k miles on it, and it has been the most trouble free car I have owned...and I have owned a lot of cars in my 59 years from Acura, Honda, Mercedes, Ford, Jaguar, Audi, Chevy to you name it. The Hemi has decent acceleration, and great reliability, with not much worse mileage than the 4.7. I have never owned a car past 130k miles ever, except for this Commander because it proved to be so dependable, and reasonably inexpensive to repair to many other brands as they age, especially luxury brands.

LMAO first thing my wife and I said when we picked up our Commander were “damn those seatbelts are nasty” I look forward to you video solution. I will try to use Goof off or carpet clean them this weekend.

I have 09 limited with the 5.7L. 133,000 miles no issues still running strong. I have 05 ram1500 with the 5.7L hemi as well 150,000 no issues.

fellow commander owner, just purchased about 2months ago. 07 5.7 hemi. Dont forget to clean the drain ports for the sunroof. there is two of them, one on each side. i found out the hard way when we went snow camping and the water started leaking into the car about 2am lol.

I had an 06 and I loved that Jeep! Sadly the heater core went out and I had to trade in for a smaller crappier uglier car but I would buy another Commander if I can. Anything from 2005 to 2010. The new ones look weird though. LOL!

I owned a 2006 Commander for 8 years. It was one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned. I traded it for a new 2016 Grand Cherokee. I am still driving that Grand Cherokee 7 years later, and I love it. But I do miss my old commander.

I got used one v6 its pretty nice the way it runs and think the old owner beat it up a bit working on it but like it. Its not fun to drive but it is very comfortable like you say cant wait to get mine fixed i dont want to be looked at i want something nice driving and just good driving and decent 4x4

Your video inspired me to pull the trigger on a 2007 4.7L V8 Commander Sport. You're exactly right about everything, in my two days of driving it. One question - have you considered putting on a winch bumper? Or anyone else who sees this comment? I'd like to, but it seems like there are few options. Thanks!

Any info on your roof rack lights and the install? Love the mods, just picked a super clean Commander and now the fun begins!

Great videos on the Commander! With the JScan did you set the wheel size to the actual size of the new tyres or did you set it to match actual speed (checking GPS)? I found that setting the correct tyre size in JScan (eg. 31.5" for 265/70/17) the speed is around 5% under the actual speed. So I wonder which way to go.

My 06 Ltd V8 is now a beater from hell. It's my primary work truck, has 366,000 miles on it and still runs great. The only major parts I've had replaced is the starter (4 times due to oil leaking on it), alternator, and had to replace the radiator twice. I took my 3rd row seating out and tossed it to make more room for work equipment. I bought it new, paid it off in 3 years and now my yearly taxes on it is about $45. (I'm in SC, we pay yearly property taxes on vehicles) When it rains outside, it also rains in the Jeep. I tried unclogging the sunroof water lines and it worked the first few times but no longer does, so I bring a towel and soap for long trips. When I finally lay my beast to rest, a part of me will die too, for all its faults, my Commander has far exceeded its intended usage. Oh, don't get me started talking about all the electrical system problems, but I have now come to terms with it all and I laugh when my headlights go dark on the interstate flying at over 70mph and then it stalls deader than a doornail. I was scared the first 47 times, but I'm getting used to it now.

Hey late to this channel, but love it. My wife has a 2007 Jeep Commander Overland with only about 105K miles so we are keeping it. We have not done any major overhauls on it other than plugs, water pump, and some other things. I'm thinking suspension is next any suggestions? Also interior probably needs to be cleaned up.

I just bought an 06 commander limited with the hemi, and I chose the hemi after I looked at 3 4.7 ones that all had overheating issues and test drove only 1 that was able to drive more then 100 feet without overheating and it felt really underpowered for a v8. I think I lucked out with the hemi one I bought as it was well taken care of with all service records and definitely felt way more powerfull

Bought an 07 with the 4.7 V8. 95 K miles. Cherry condition. Very happy with it. Purchased as a road trip car since my F 150 is aging and I don't trust it for long trips. My only complaint (besides mileage) is the rear suspension. it jolts going over bad roads. Anything you recommend? Don't want a lift kit. Yes the gas mileage sucks, but what the heck. Had to put a set of tires on it, otherwise, no other repairs. Everything works. Took it on a 3,000 mile road trip and it rode like a luxury chariot.

Very good video and I agree with your conclusions. I also own a 2006 Commander and I'm happy with the vehicle. I do have a question about the vent fan . . . is yours significantly loud and has a "hollow" or echo" sound ? The fan motor runs fine and the temperatures change, but as soon as the fan is turned on, it sounds like I'm inside of a concrete hallway. I've looked as well as I could through the ventilation system and found no obstructions -- not that there isn't one hidden somewhere -- and the air flows freely and doesn't smell like something is dead in there. Just wondering if you have the same or similar experience . . . . Keep up the great videos !

The Japanese bolt is posted in yellow zinc while the jeep commander bolt looks like hot dipped galvanized finish. Both finishes were meant to prevent bolts from rust

love it

Bro loved the rims

Looks nice

I enjoyed my 4.7 in my WJ Grand Cherokee, but it wasn't trouble free and was in no way better than the two 5.7 Hemis in my WK Grand Cherokees. Gas milage and reliability are a little better with the Hemi. Not to mention the Hemi is smoother and more powerful. The one I have now has 237k miles on it and has only had the water pump, Egr valve, and exhaust manifold studs replaced. My last 4.7 eventually left me on the side of the road, it needed head gaskets at 170k miles

That’s wild I have a Scion xD and I’m trying to grab a 4.7 commander with the skyroofs n stuff

great review. Now it's late July, do you still have it? I've got a 2006 5.7 limited that i bought used back in 2014 (it had about 108,000 miles on it at that time). It's done well for me, no issues. But i did primarily buy it so I had a way to get to work in snowy weather (here in northwest rural NC you don't see much bad weather, but when it happens it does get crazy). Plus, i only drive it once per week or thereabouts during good weather (because of the gas mileage; i can get 14-15 mpg out of it as long as i don't get on it too hard).

I have a 07 hemi overland yes sunroof leaking And coming back from Oklahoma de Denver reverse would not engage 6 hours later engaged 13mpg

Thanks man! Been wanting to get a commander and turn it into a daily/ medium off-roader. If you happen to see this comment does the 4WD work alright?

Hey man nice video. I Just got a 2006 commander limited over the weekend. Any chance you could kink the door handles? Probably not a suprise but both my fronts are broken and I can't seem to find any under like 80$.

I have a 2007 Jeep Commander with a 4.7 transmission pressure sensor relay otherwise if you fit in perfect condition 157,000 miles thanks for the information

I just bought a 2010 commander sport. I like it but I don’t love it. It dosent make me want to jump in a take off to Home Depot just for the heck of it. It’s on the verge of making an errand a chore. I do like the way it looks however you are right u get absolutely no attention lol! A little history on my end . 3 cars ago I drove a Range Rover county my favorite . Then Land Rover discovery My only brand new car I’ve ever purchased. First off I was forced to buy a vehicle after a boxed spring fell off a truck on the hiway I front of me and totaled the Range Rover . The next day I bought the Westminster edition Land Rover off the show room floor loaded everything u could get was on this truck. But it wasn’t a Range Rover county. I felt like I was mad at it lol. I keep it 4 years the the pinnacle of all trucks fell into my lap. A G500 I loved the F*** out of this thing I bought it in 2006 I drove it till the year of Covid. Covid changed my financial life. I adapted but one day the engine locked down it lost all compression.. at that point 7k to replace it might aswell been a million dollars . I let it set in my carport for 2 years I walked I learned to take the bus I cabbed I ubered trying to save 7 k. Last week I had to open my eyes and realize I can’t do it. I posted the wagon on Craigslist. It killed me but it was time to let go. I sold it within 8 hours for $10,000 . The commanders look was the only truck I could even feel a sense of my style in . So I bought one $6200. After not driving for 2 years . I actually have no desire to go anywhere in that truck. Lol! For me it’s a point a to point b thing. That’s it. It reminds me of throughout my past when one of my vehicles were being serviced and they give u a loaner. Now I drive a loaner . I own a loaner but no more bus or any of that bs I couldn’t take another day of that. The commander looks one way but it’s deceiving . Everything feels off like the way the key goes into the ignition if your clumsy like me I bang my chin my elbows my forehead already in less than 24 hours . But I’m thankful for my loaner. So for what is it I feel like it has just a hint of whatever it is I e always looked for in a.vehicle maybe because it’s square lol god bless u guess thanks for reading my novella. 👊🏻

Hi! I’m in love with the Toyo open country III tires. I’m new to all this and wanted to ask if you think running 265/70/r17 would work on stock suspension since it’s a 31.61 diameter! I don’t really want to do pinch welds since I want to keep it as natural as possible but also make it look just a tad nicer. If the 265/70/r17 are too big without doing a pinch weld mod do you think 255/70/r17 would be a good alternative? That diameter would be 31. Thank you, love how helpful your videos have been!

What roof rack do you have on there? Been looking for one that fits the width of the roof rails properly, this one looks like it fits perfect, thanks!

The good: It's a Jeep The bad: It's a Jeep The ugly: It's a Jeep

5.7 better engine ….. but beauty is in the eye of the beholder ! Like you said “ to me “ ! But to each their own .

I'm looking for a jeep as a 'pull car' behind a RV,,,,,is this a 4wd? do you have the original original 'book' which might outline if it can be 'towed' with all 4 wheels on the pavement?

Love your Commander videos. I’m looking for one as we speak and probably will also try to get a 4.7. One question-when you did your lift video, you described it as a 2” lift, but in this video you say it’s a 3” lift. I like your list of components, but I’d rather keep it to 2”. Can you clarify how much you lifted it? Thanks much.

I have a 05 Jeep grand cherokee limited4.7 40k miles & a 06 5.7 commander both silver, 5.7 bigger tires more torque, both are cool

The biggest problem ( and it is a big one) is the 3.7, 4.7, 5.7 , jeep engines have powdered metal valve guides and are notorious for dropping out and destroying the engine.. now i put a brand new crate engine in my jeep , that has all the upgrades in the engine to solve all the problems it has from the factory.. like solid steel machine steel valve guides , because i travel alot on fishing camping trips and didnt want to eat a engine in the middle of no where .. so be super vigilant on oil changes with good syn oil changes and i use Wix oil filters they are the best, just a heads up buddy..

Great review mate, I'm planning on buying one for myself and want to know what to look for, any suggestions would be appreciated.

have you seen that people put the commander air vents in their miatas? i saw the miata community uses both eclipse and commander air vents. and now im putting the miata vents into my XB.

I just got an 07 for free with a 4.7 and the only problem so far is a starter that had a corroded slip on wire!

I just got one given to me. An 06 with the 4.7. I am totally stoked about getting it ready for off road. Is it fun to drive??? I think that depends on where you're going to drive it. I live in SW Montana and believe me. Pavement is no fun. I'm gonna lift it and gear it and beat it up off road. :D

I have a 2007 Commander, any ideas on the middle seats head rests,? they've flipped down and won't secure back in the upright position, different mechanics over here in the UK have been scratching their heads as to the solution.

Since replacing the intake and exhaust, have you noticed an increase in mpg?

What is the backspacing on the wheels ? Any rubbing flexed & turned ?

First of all excuse my english i'm not fron USA: congratulations for your channel, i want to buy a 2010 commander V6 for daily drive use and camping at weekends i wanto ask you if you know if 4x4 versions exist in the 2010 V6 ? Hope you undestand my question what i trying to ask if exist 2010 commander V6 4x4 ?

Nice jeep

I bet if you still had the xB and had to choose between the two to do a daily drive I know which one you would pick 9/10 times. That would still be true if mpg was equal between the two!

P.s. You'll love off roadin baby! Wooooo!!!

All I hear is about the gas mileage, but consdering how most SUV's are/were back in the 00's and early 10's, I feel like 15-17 mpg really isn't that bad. I had a 2010 Saturn Vue that was consistently 11 mpg city.

Dope

As long as you can afford the up keep, and the maintenance, and the electrical issues, and the gas and a few quirks here and there, then I wish you good luck. lol. Any 8 cylinder Toyota anything would probably be less maintenance and better reliability than a Jeep. But who knows? haha. I don't think it will reach the same miles as your XB did, but again who knows? 😁

How's that prelude doing these days any content coming for that soon

So it is not for sale? Pity. My father has a diesel one and has owned it since new. He loves it. It is a comfortable “tank” to drive, especially open roads. It has a great 4wd system and it goes pretty well.

Can you link the item number on Amazon where you got the lettering for Commander

I am considering to by a 2006 Jeep Commander with 143k miles. I wonder if it's reliable or not, but I really like its outlook and design. I am not sure the V6 engine on that car will be enough compared to v8

Been my dream vehicle getting one soon there so hard to find

RE your torn driver's seat. The front seats share the same cushion.

That bolt looks like zinc coated galvanized coating...maybe? Kinda like a chain link fence

I want to find the sunroofs out of a used one and put those into mine... Is that possible

I've had my Commander (5.7 limited 4x4) for 13 years and I hate it! I paid so much because I thought I would have it for a long time, my wife drives it now. It always has a check engine light - ALWAYS! I've replaced soooo many things, The ENTIRE electrical system is junk, I've spent hours inside manuals and schematics, on forums, at repair shops, dealerships, etc. New transmission, new engine, new everything that has a solenoid, new all-the-sensors, catalytic converters, cooling system constantly has a new leak somewhere - replaced radiator, water pump, various lines leading to various places all leak at crimped connections... Ugh, A-pillar constantly leaks onto my knee because of the sunroof... Miserable 9mpg vehicle! F#!k the Jeep Commander and all the bloody knuckles and sleepless nights! I've had my 2012 F350 Ford Powerstoke for 12 years now - Not one God D@mn issue! Repeat, 268K miles later, NOT ONE ISSUE...

I've been very unlucky in my short time owning vehicles I was 16 and was getting my first car and stumbled upon a jeep commander near me for sale it was a 2006 3.7l stock it had the garage door opener rear heat and ac heated seats and powered passenger seat my mom was in a rush and told the dealership guy I didn't know anything about vehicles i was livid we ended up getting it for $6000 with 194000 miles drove it home to find out that the engine had no oil the whole time the rings were almost completely gone i didnt have much money but i ended up spending 14k on that jeep i very unfortunately ended up sliding of a dirt road in icy conditions and it was totaled a year later i saw another commander for sale it was listed as a 2008 4.7 limited which was exactly what i wanted i ended up going with my dad this time i drove the hour to get to it to find the dealer lied it was a stock 2007 3.7 no trim or nothing even less features than my old jeep but it was going for $3500 with 145000 miles im young and needed a vehicle so i got it i love the commanders and someday i pray i can have one just like yours also you milage is great in my opinion my old one got 8mpg max.... this one gets 14.1 both highway and city which i was confused about but ehh it could be worse also on my first jeep my transmission was going out so i did a redneck fix i took a 2005 jeep Cherokee TCM put it in then did a fluid change and then overfilled it with some transmax cleaner and to my surprise it worked way better than before i was stuck with only 1st gear originally so overall ive been scammed but i love the commander and will continue to try to have one just like yours
