2008 Jeep Commander GSX

Check out this awesome JEEP COMMANDER SPORT with 3rd row! A host of changes for 2008 aim to make Jeep's Commander SUV more family-friendly. Satellite TV is now available for backseat passengers, and those up front get an optional MyGIG entertainment system that stores up to 1,600 songs. On the mechanical front, the Commander's available 4.7-liter V-8 gets a generous power upgrade. The Commander's competitors include the Toyota 4Runner, Nissan Pathfinder and Ford Explorer. Introduced in 2006, the Commander is the first Jeep product to have three rows of seats. Sports are four-wheel-drive systems. The Commander is built on the Grand Cherokee's platform and shares the same wheelbase. Designers looked to 1940s Willys utility vehicles and later Jeep Wagoneers for guidance, and inspiration also came from the company's Cherokee SUV, which was replaced by the Liberty in 2002. Commanders get the same four-wheel-drive systems, suspension and powertrains as the Grand Cherokee, including an independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. Buyers can choose a 3.7-liter V-6, a 4.7-liter V-8 or a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8. Three full-time four-wheel-drive systems and two transfer cases are also available. In ascending order of ruggedness, Jeep calls its four-wheel-drive systems Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II. Exterior The Commander Sport features body-colored door handles, while Overland models add front tow hooks, platinum finish for the bodyside panels and front, a wire lattice grille, and body-colored outside mirrors. Seventeen- and 18-inch wheels are available. The Commander is 2 inches longer and 4 inches taller than the Grand Cherokee; they share the same 109.5-inch wheelbase. The Commander features an upright windshield and rear window. Its angul stop in today for a test drive!
