My Dad worked for a company that did financial modeling for DaimlerChrysler when they were putting this into production. Over a year before it went to market every forecast showed this vehicle would fail the market. It was expensive at the time but had a downmarket interior. Execs in Germany did not want to share the very sophisticated platform from ML suv with their counterparts in Detroit. That was a scaleable architecture that rode better and the machine tools already exited for it, but the Daimler people thought it would "cheapen" Mercedes. Meanwhile, Chrysler had already tooled-up the plant to manufacture it. 100’s of millions of development cost went into this, which the forecasts also showed the company would not recoup-and they didn’t. All these details just add color to all the things you mentioned in your video about the size and so forth.
Awesome comment thanks for the extra information. Always interesting to hear more about what goes on behind the scenes. I know mercedes was always keeping what they had away from Chrysler and almost letting them fend for themselves, definitely not the most successful merger in that aspect.
@Ohad Paran, were I you, I would get a Jeep Commander, add in a Hellcat, Hellcat Demon, or Hellephant crate engine kit, make it completely luxury on the inside, as well as the outside, make its performance top notch with all of the best parts in the world, and make it look awesome.
The problem with the Daimler Chrysler tie up was that Daimler wouldn't share enough resources with Chrysler and Chrysler didn't do enough to make them share their stuff.
@@itsbigal92 Absolutely and that percolated throughout the entire organization. Like I mentioned, from really big things like vehicle architectures, powertrains, and machine-tools, and all the way to QC procedures, lean manufacturing methodologies, supply-chain optimization, budget forecasting, and even marketing practices. Had there been the real synergy that Dieter Zeutche sold to the Chrysler execs during negotiations, things might look a lot different today.
I had a 2006 Hemi and the granny failed/burned up in two years. Diagnosis? They said the Benz tranny could not hold up to the Hemi engine. Once they rebuilt it, under warranty, it has been solid for the last 12 years.
@@scotthines3404 I appreciate your honesty. I'm actually kind of pissed because I wanted to install a lift kit on it when I had it. I ended up trading it in for a Silverado 4X4
In my opinion, the Commander's design has aged extremely well. It still looks fresh 18 years later. This era of Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler had some of my favorite designs of all time. Nearly everything was an instant classic.
A year ago I was given my brother’s 2008 Commander that he had owned for 12 years. It was kind of a family car as we all used it since he had multiple. It’s the car I learned to drive in 8 years ago and the car I always wanted. It has almost 200,000 miles and still runs great. He took great care of it over the years. I feel incredibly safe driving it despite how big it is. It definitely has its quirks and wear and tear, but over all it is still in good condition all these years later. We as a family have gotten so much great use out of it for the little amount of work we’ve had to put into it over the years. I can’t tell you how many times people have told I should get rid of it because of how much gas it takes, but I refuse. I love it dearly.
Late to the comments on this, great video and spot on regarding the criticisms. Currently at 299,000 miles in my 09 4x4 limited and I'm still impressed with her. Oddly enough, owning this has made me develop a serious crush on all XJs. Considering getting one as an apocalypse project
I was 13 when this car came out and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I still want a 3 row Jeep whenever the new one is launched. I loved the boxy styling of the Commander.
I Fetchin love the Commander and use it for off road! Anyone actually use it for four wheeling? The technology invested in the drive system is insane and combined with the 5.7 Hemi power, this is a beast that is super capable in our Colorado Mountains and towing with the long wheelbase is a dream. We've had a lot of JEEP and this is a Utilitarian ready vehicle if you want to actually use it for that. LONG LIVE THE SQUARE BODIES!!
I love how hard it is to break traction QD2! You guys are bold! I'm just hoping mine keeps going forever trouble free. Best SUV on the road and I see them all.
I bought a 08 Commander in 2010 and it lasted until last year to where I actually had problems. I sat it to the side but I'm about to get it going again because I missed it during winter for sure lol. It's a freaking tank!
LOL. Very true. I bought a new 2007 and even though it was under warranty, I constantly was at dealership. I loved the vehicle, but just didn’t feel the reliability was there. Five years later and 146k miles....I sold the electrical headaches.
My 2007 jeep commander is down right now and you can't even buy the parts to fix it now. My front driveshaft broke the bolts off that bolt it to the front differential. When the bolts broke it destroyed the 3 little brackets that hold the front cv joint to the front differential. I called mopar trying to find the bolts and brackets and they told me they no longer make my parts and can't even make replacements for me so I have a $10 yard ornament now that I'm still paying for. I've driven the jeep a wapping 900 miles since I bought it a year ago and haven't been able to drive it since last summer. I'm now waiting for someone to part one out because salvage yards won't even sell them. I was also told by a couple different salvage yards almost every commander that's not wrecked with the 4.7 v8 that comes in ha ssd's the exact same problem. The problem is the bolts are to small to take the torque pulling the vehicle down the road for long periods of time since there basically front wheel drive. Without the front driveshaft in you can't drive it.
Charlie Doughty wow man. I’d be absolutely blindingly livid. I hope the thing was cheap at least? Sounds like it’s gonna be scrapped over mopar’s failure to support it, shocker.
I have a 2009 Commander, sport,with the V6 I've had it for 7 years,bought it with 57k miles,it has 150k miles now,only major repairs I did (Aside from basic maintenance) was a wheel bearing starter and changed the oil pan.. I still love the way it looks and drives.. The most reliable vehicle I've owned!These things will eventually be worth a lot someday...
Honestly I feel like this car could've had a lot of potential if Chrysler made a few different decisions with this car. My best friend has a Commander himself, and I love the box and rugged look of the vehicle, honestly reminds me of something out of Call of Duty lol. I honestly hope Jeep brings this back sometime in the future, with how popular SUV'S are with the times we live in. But besides that, great video!
I love my Commander. I'm a single guy with no kids, so the tiny 3rd row is always folded down. If I fold down the 2nd row of seats as well, I (6ft tall) can comfortably sleep in the back of it on overnight fishing/camping trips. The offroad worthiness is surprisingly good as well, if you pay attention to approach and departure angles. The HEMI is a must though... she's a big girl. The Grand Cherokee and Commanders of the same year are essentially the same vehicle, but chose the Commander entirely for the body style preference. The extra room was just an added bonus.
Slay King the 5.7L Hemi would be the most reliable. I would disable the Multi displacement system if it comes equipped. But overall they are reliable if you maintain it and don’t dog on it.
I bought a secondhand '08 Commander base model (3.6L-V6, Quad I, awd, Dark Taupe color) when he had about 86K miles on it and have loved it ever since. It's now 186K miles and on it's second transmission and second engine and will probably be my last vehicle, especially at today's '23 prices. Cheaper to fix than to buy, right? Had to replace the driver's inside door handle twice due to cheap plastic, the struts in the rear popup window once, the strut holding up the hood once, but I love the boxiness of it, love the color, and being still in great shape, I notice it still turns heads! I've always treated it more as a people-mover, especially when we visit the kids and now grandkids. Love the fact that with the 2 rows of seats down it'll hold a huge amount of stuff on trips and since I'm tall, it has always been more comfy to drive it on long trips rather than my wife's Honda (old and new). These days I've wondered what the cost would be to really convert it to a rock-crawler, but with that new engine only having about 13K miles on it, I probably won't bother. I've read the hemi is the more worthwhile engine to have for that and it's the first thing I'd feel a need to replace in mine to go that route, amongst other things. It'll make someone a great overlander some day, though! I've seen some conversions that still make me think about it now and then! Love this vehicle!
I love our 2009 Jeep commander. It's stylish with enough under the hood to get the job done. We also camp and the Commander has a #6500 towing capacity.
My cousin traded a loaded Blazer for a Commander and still drives it! To her, it's the greatest vehicle Chrysler ever made. There is something quintessentially Jeep about the Commander. I love the way the vehicle looks, but like most buyers, found it too small, cramped, inefficient, and expensive to stomach. BTW, loved the adjusted for inflation prices! Makes it much easier to see where the vehicle would really fall in today's market.
OK, that was a very cute comment. I'll look now look at my Commander as a strong and powerful woman. I was raised by nuns and a loving mother, so that's perfect.
OK here we are 16 months later. We are on our second Commander (we actually love the unique design) The first one was damaged in a freak accident. We traded that one and within 6 months regretted it. Our current one is a Limited with the 4.7 V8. It's quirky and runs well when it wants to (I'm pretty much the same way) I've thought about trading it in on something less dramatic but the only SUV on the market that resembles the Commander is the Mercedes G Class. There is no way I can spend a 130 grand fixing the Commander so we'll keep it.
Lack of marketing, and cramped interior space def held sales down. If the wheel base would’ve been stretched over the WK Grand Cherokee instead of being shared, it would’ve sold way better. They were freaking TANKS.
brycmtthw even the WK2 Grand Cherokee that came out after the Commander was discontinued is larger than the Commander and even that is not a large enough vehicle to have a third row in the back
I had an 06 and absolutely loved it. Mine had the 4.7L V8 and it was by far the best thing I've ever driven in snow. It was a perfect balance of power, weight, and AWD system. Sadly right around 100,000 miles it started to go through coolant and no one could figure out why or where it was going. Despite its flaws (door handles were flimsy and easy to break, the opening into the cargo area was restrictive - I could fit bigger things in my wife's 98 CR-V - and of course the gas-mileage sucked) I was sad to get rid of it.
Also allot of car companies were in bail out. I bought the 09 hemi because I loved the body style & the towing capacity was off the charts for vehicles this size. I also did a few enhancements. Cold air intake & glass packs 🦄. I still have it going strong I've yet to find anything I like better that has it's potential. The third row is true though but I didn't want anything that big in the first place. I've had this longer than any other vehicle but I like keeping an eye out. Still nothing. Choices are getting worse. I don't want to drive an expensive bubble! I digress 😁
I brought my Commander brand new in 2006 and still have it today its been a great vehicle replaced a few parts I have about 211.000 miles on it and its still going, Love it
I loved the Commander! My neighbor had one. 4x4, with the 5.7 Hemi. He put on a small lift, and some BFG tires. When it would snow, and schools weren't cancelled. He would drive the neighborhood kids to school. You couldn't get that thing stuck. Loved it!
When I looked to buy my 2010 Jeep Commander Limited 5.7 Hemi every used Commander I saw had 150,000 miles on it and they were all one owner vehicles. Everyone i spoke to loved their Commander. I found one with 68,000 miles, I put a 4 inch Superlift on it, 33' tires and other stuff and it is UNSTOPPABLE! I have been to every dessert and to the top of every mountain in SoCal and my Commander hasn't EVER had a tow strap put on it except to pull other Jeeps outta trouble. The combination of the Hemi and Quadra drive II make it a BEAST. When in LOW the transfer case locks up and the front and rear diffs have AUTOMATIC LOCKERS! My friends were all sceptical but they have all seen the lockers in action and now the Commander is regarded as one of the most capable Jeeps in our group. I bought it because it is WAY larger than a Cherokee, I'm 6'3 and get in and out with ease. I cant fit easily in a JK or God forbid a Cherokee. The Jeep Commander ROCKS and the Italian big boss of Chrysler doesnt know what the fuck he's talking about. They should re-launch a refreshed version and call it the Commander or the Grand Wagoneer.
Love my old girl. ‘06 commander, basic 4x4, 145k, one window doesn’t work, replaced door handles, leaky sun roof that everybody has, but we fixed it. Runs like a champ! Front end seems to need work every year or two, but easy and inexpensive to fix. I will drive it til it can’t be driven anymore.
I have a 2009 Commander Sport. I have to agree with everything you said. At the time, I bought the Commander because I was a longtime Jeep owner, and because I needed a vehicle that would fit three carseats. The Commander allowed two large carseats and and an infant carrier carseat in the middle row because the middle row seats recline allowing you to fit the big "clam shell" car seats under the seat head rests that did not go up and down. I still have my Commander and love it despite all of the flaws you detailed in the video. The mileage is low for an 11 year old vehicle (108,000) and I have had no major repairs.
Man this one hit me I miss my commander.... I had an 06 5.7 4x4 limited with the mocha interior over silver. I absolutely loved that thing, literally I believe to be one of the best cars ever made. I was 2nd owner and had 101k miles on it. I ended up putting 10k miles on it myself... before mds failed and its was 6k to put a motor in... should have never sold it, kick myself everyday..
@Larry M Man that sounds crazy! I'm in my 40's and remember when vehicles weren't this complicated. The auto industry really relies on planned obsolescence. Take care
I have a silver 06 Commander Limited and I love the body style. Gives me G-Wagon vibes... I put black wheels on it with beefy off road tires as well as black headlights and it looks killer. Definitely stands out on the road and in lots... Gas mileage sucks though.
I still have my Commander. It must have really been ahead of it’s time, because it still has all the luxuries of a modern SUV. I just updated the stereo. I really hate all the new “SUV’s” which are all weird crossover vehicles. This is a real SUV, and it looks awesome on the road.
The thing that I really like about the commander in 2021 is that back in 2006 “which is the year of my car” these cars were not cheep they were supped up monster trucks with all sorts of things that it offered on the inside. Now granted they were expensive back then. But look now in to 2021 the jeep commander has been out of the market for ten years! These cars that could easily be sold for 40,000 dollars are now being sold as cheap and 3,500 isn’t that crazy! If ur looking for a big car to take off roading, fit a lot of people in or just to mess around with. This is the car I swear
I live in Australia and have a 2008 commander 3.0 diesel. Love it. Love it. It towed our caravan half way around Australia and didn't let us down. 17,000km in 10 weeks tow an eighteen foot caravan. Yes, cargo space is tight but we put a cargo rack on the roof.
I just bought an 06 v6 3.0ltr diesel with 278000kms. Its faultless. Absolutely love it, tows the 16ft expander perfectly, fits 2 teenagers and 2 dogs easily. Plenty of room up front. I'm a bit old school, so love the plastics, old style radio, soft seats. Going to slowly replace some old bits, and hopefully pass it onto my son in a few yrs. 💪👍
I admit, the 3rd row is a joke. There isn't enough room in the vehicle for a 3rd row. I have the 3rd row down for my fishing and hunting gear. But I absolutely love the boxy styling. The vehicle is a tank and looks great. I put 20 inch Jeep Gladiator wheels on mine and nice tires. The next week or so I am raptor lining the whole vehicle black and undercoating the vehicle top to bottom. I upgraded the fog lights and will tint the windows and tail lights. I ordered the Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX to put into it. Love this vehicle! Wish I had another!
Content like this doesnt really exist for other automakers. I believe you could fill that void. Im guessing youre partial to mopar, but id enjoy seeing similarily formatted videos for the other brands also!
I had an ‘06 65th Anniversary and loved it, it’s true the third row did cause rear view issues, but I honestly had that third row down most of the time. I did ended trading it in because it had a leak problem from the sunroof to where I had nightmares every time it rained, but if that issue was non existent I would still have it and honestly I regret getting rid of it, It was and still is a unique Jeep and there is nothing out there to compare it’s looks with and I hope they do bring it back just like the brought back the Wagoneer.
Great video! Not entirely correct about the cargo space, with 3rd row folded the Commander and Chevy Traverse both have 69 cubic feet. So the Commander ain't that bad after all...
I have actually owned two of them now. I had a 2008 Sport, 4.7, 4wd, 5 seater. To me it was perfect. Lots of rear room for all my firefighting and EMS gear. Had it for 11 years until someone hit me and totaled it. I have been looking for the last two years for a replacement. Just found and bought a 2010 Sport, 4wd, 5.7 with only 49,000 miles. Again its perfect for me. I don't like all the hard plastic but it is durable. I'm 6'3" and have lots of head room. Back seat is not passenger friendly but most of the time its two people max. I had no idea the sales were so dismal. Glad I found the one that I did and will keep it for a long time.
Bought my 2008 5.7 Hemi Overland new in 2008. It now has 220k miles on it. It's been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot. It runs just like when I bought it, but is starting to use some oil. What a great vehicle. I hope they make another one like it. It worked great for my family as I have 4 kids and the two little ones sat in the back.
I owned the 06 4x4 Commander with the 4.7. It was a good vehicle and was reliable...BUT...It wasn't a Wrangler. I traded it in for a 16' JKU and even with 35" tires I am still getting better fuel economy than I did with the Commander. I NEVER used the 3rd row seating as it just killed storage capacity. Happier with the Wrangler :) Great video
I remember around 2008 my neighbor got a Jeep Commander. They had a Lexus GX but traded it in for the Commander and even as a kid I always thought that was an interesting decision going from a Lexus to a Jeep though they seemed to enjoy the vehicle. It always did look like a box to me
We’re going to be purchasing a 2010 Jeep Commander Limited HEMI 5.7 vary soon!!! We can’t wait thanks to the video and all the comments made me more excited!
I have a 2006 Jeep Commander and I love driving it. Only complaint I have is the gas millage which when I got it it was 13.5 mpg now is down to 12.5 mpg. I do not use the back seats as they stay folded down so I have more room for storage. I have made some repairs this year but vehicle still runs smoothly and I am happy with it.
I've owned a 2007 Commander limited 5.7L for 10 years. It's been the biggest headache with dumb things breaking like the starter breaking 4 times, water pump breaking, alternative going, 3 thermostats, transmissions solenoid pack breaking. The last straw to buying a new car was the cam position sensor going out. Luckily I can and have fixed all these issues myself, but I'm constantly thinking what's going to break next. That being said, I don't want to sell it even though I just bought a new Wrangler 4xe.
Beautiful solid car especially off wheel. I have a few and we use them for off road projects. Great insights thanks. Please do the SRT 6.1 Jeep and the SRT10 Dodge Ram, some time.
I had a 07 v6 and other than no low range and lack of power i really liked it. I feel like if they had put the new 3.6 in it and maybe updated it a little it would have been more successful.
I own a 2010 Commander 5.7 Limited and I love it 🥰🥰!! 200,000 miles , New transfer case, torque converter and rebuilt tranny , I DON'T CARE now I go another 200,000 miles!!! If I have put a new engine in I WILL because I LOVE the SHAPE of the Commander!!
I had one. We loved it! The 3.7 engine is complete junk but the vehicle is great. Looks ten times better than the WK. great room up front. And anyone buying a 3 row vehicle isn’t carrying 6 adult friends around. They get it for the kids. There’s great aftermarket parts available for the XK. It’s a beast off-road with the QDII. I took mine places wranglers chickened out of. It’s only limited by its size. My XJ is easier to maneuver but XK is no less capable.
I have a 2006 Jeep Commander - 5.7 Hemi - Limited. I've had it for 12yrs and put around 50k miles on it. I've had some issues here and there, but overall it's still going strong. I'm considering a new family SUV so we can keep her for fun only. It's such a hard decision. I will never get rid of it.
I was handed down a 2006 Jeep Commander Limited 5,7-liter Hemmi in 2010 with 21,000 miles and absolutely loved the unique square design. Here we are now, 2022 and well over 118 ,000 with very little issues like an interior water dripping after a major rain around the sunroof. I have many compliments on how well it looks and how well it drives. I personally think the design is considerably better than the Jeep Cherokee.
I have a 2006 all-time 4x4 with the 4.7. I bought it used for my son 5 years ago with 65k miles. We've replaced rear axle hubs, engine and transmission computer modules, all brakes (rear twice), control arm bushings, transfer case, alternator, AC system, water pump, radiator, inside door handles, window motors, steering rack$$$, front drive shaft (CV joint), radio. It only has 120k miles now. Now the exhaust header bolts are breaking and causing exhaust leaks. It was a fun little Jeep running around town, but I should have bought a Honda or Toyota. I figure I'm about $23k in this junker. Trade-in value is $1200.
I bought a 2007 commander in October 2019. 3 weeks later, a deer walks in front of me and totaled out my front right side. I still have, damage unfixed, but I do love it still. I drive with the 2 back rows down.
I had one, took my license test in an 08 commander. Honestly, solid suv. Fuel economy did suck excessively but if you pu that aside. I abused it offroad and it never skipped a beat.
We owned a 2008 Limited model for a couple of years. Owned two Cherokees prior, so we loved the look of it. Quiet, comfortable ride. Lots of power (5.7L 4X4). Lousy fuel economy. Amazing Boston Acoustic sound system. Had a few electrical gremlins. Not a huge amount of cargo space with the seats folded down. Started developing mechanical issues around 95K miles. Decided that it wouldn’t be suitable for overlanding, so we traded it in for a Toyota FJ Cruiser. I miss the Commander, but I wouldn’t go back.
Ironically, it was the no.1 selling Jeep in The Philippines during it's final year. My dad gave me his 2010 3.0 CRD Commander. After 81,268km,A 2' lift, Fuel Rims, it now drives like a beast
My son in law has a Commander. It spends 95% of it's existence underneath a tarp in his driveway and the remaining 5% stranded in a parking lot somewhere waiting to be towed back home.
My 2005 Land Rover LR3 spends 11 months parked, 3 days driven and 100% heart break from not being used. I love it when it runs and hate it when it breaks. And it's always broken. But I can't part with it for sentimental reasons
Jeep Commander was ahead of it time . When you think about it Jeep Commander was Jeep first row passenger by Jeep and it's was good option for families who don't want minivan and the Jeep Commander it was an excellent cross over SUV and the original Chrysler Pacifica SUV 2004-2009 and now and the return of the Jeep Cherokee Grand wagoneer 3 row passenger and I hope they make a bigger version of the Dodge Durango it would help FCA gain more customers
I'm in my 70's and have owned more vehicles than I can count. I currently own 5. My 07 Commander is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It have had way too many 2x4's and other lumber in it so it also has served as a truck of sorts. The 6 cylinder pulls my 22' pontoon with no problem even on very steep ramps.
Wait the computer starts to glitch out and the truck wants to shut down while going 55 ... it's happened to me more than once and finally installed a new computer that was $400
I own a 2008 Commander I bought in 2015 with 92k. Now has 134 k and has been problem free. Has the v6, it's underpowered and thirsty but has been very reliable. I recently installed new spark plugs and gained 1mpg.
My dad 2006 Jeep Commander 3.7 V6 has 186,000mi and it still works well my dad is in love with it and will buy another one if it is not repairable anymore....but my dad doesn't want the Jeep to die so he repair it every time he feel something is wrong
I’ve had two commanders, both 2006. They had many issues like rear coolant lines, nav radio inop, tire pressure warning, airbag light, brake and exhaust issues. My wife likes them so we keep getting them to this day. Next is a newer model.
i have a commander now.. i love my jeep it is soooo fun to drive and i feel on top of the world sitting up so high.. im only 5' 2" ..i never use the 3rd row seats they block my rear view to much so they are alway down... my black lab luna love to go for rides in it i find the room up front to be amazing it perfect for me as a 1st car...i get 15 miles to the gallon which is meh but for what i use her for she is perfect...i love jeep and i will probably keep with the jeep family
I love my Commander. '08 101k miles, third row seat is a fantastic option and the only reason I bought it (aside from 4x4 and roof rack). I am not a Jeep person so had no interest in the Cherokee, Wrangler, Liberty or any of the rest. This guy looks almost like a Land Rover which appeals to me. Only two extra inches? I'm generally happy with a couple of extra inches!
I own a 2008 Commander Limited and my wife drives a 2008 Grand Cherokee. I really like the driver entry on my Commander over her Grand Cherokee. I have a very hard time entering her GC. I easily can get into my Commander. I love the power of the Hemi. My dislikes were mentioned in the video. Very limited leg room in both 2nd and 3rd rows. Absolutley no cargo space with 3rd row up.
And one more thing , As I was reading the comment right after mine from Mr Paran . No joke ! when I did take a notice to this vehicle recently ( even though I never knew what they looked like inside , my thinking was if this had an upscale interior it may have been more successful ... and considering it’s price point it it SHOULD HAVE BEEN a better interior. By the way I was with Daimler/ Chrysler at that time and remember how they really weren’t sharing there technology ( but they SURE GRABBED OR 12B I’m still there and they are long gone THANK GOODNESS
Still have and love my 08 commander fully loaded 4x4 4.7 liter it's a beast on the road and just looks better than all of the other generic SUVs on the road
My mom had a black one, I personally didn’t like it but it was reliable as hell! I hated the third row back seats, I used to call them the back-back, I was in a 14 hour car ride in them
I was like 8 years old and was in a car accident in one of these. Its a solid vehicle! A lady ran the light in a jeep and hit ours and hers was wrecked while we were all good with just a door dent.
Roof leaks. Not sure if its the rack or the sunroof but it's a pain in the ass. Havin g that said, I really like driving it. It's pretty comfy if you're not in the back or behind me. I'm 6'4" and there's little room behind me for anyone. Gas mileage sucks, literally. Has some good get up and powers on. Just hoping she hangs on for me for a good run. I usually go Grand Cherokee but this was my first dealer purchase and they didn't have a Cherokee I could afford so thus began my relationship with my new ride. 3 years, So far so good.
I bought a 2006 Jeep Commander Limited when I turned 16 with 117,000 miles on it. I'm still driving it to this day with over 174,000 miles. I've put this thing through it. These are tough cars but I definitely do not want another one. Mine is no longer waterproof and a nice rain storm will bless me with a two to three inch puddle of water in my driver side footwell. 4/10 would not recommend
I own one myself and one reason i belive people stop buying them was because it has a lot of blind spots and hard visibility. At times because of such bad visibility i almost had several accidents. But other than that in my opinion is a fun suv it shares platform with the wk so parts from the WK SRT can be fitted you can make it into a sporty surprice vehicle. Not that fast but fun.
