As suggested by its slab-sided styling Cheap Air Max 93 , the Commander offers utility along with a roomy, airy cabin. The rear seats are progressively stepped up, theater style, giving back-seat riders a view of the road. This feeling of airiness is enhanced by a pair of glass roof panels, although the third row is best reserved for 10-year-olds.


Utility comes within the type of a perfectly flat cargo floor when the rear two rows are folded down, providing 68.five cubic feet of cargo space. Those in the front seats take pleasure in a comfy cabin, a lot of which is shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.


Belied by the utilitarian styling, even so, is the Commander’s responsiveness and ride quality. It rides surprisingly well for a tall, seven-passenger SUV. On the highway, the Commander is really a notably smooth and comfortable cruiser. It’s reasonably quiet, allowing easy conversation, a pleasant surprise given the squared-off styling and all-terrain tires. The tall ride height and off-road capability make the Commander deal with poorly, though. Whilst not tippy, the Commander is prone to body lean in turns and heavy braking, and is not as nimble as the newest crossover SUVs. But any self-respecting off-road enthusiast understands this going in.


A selection of V6 and V8 engines is offered. The top-of-the-line 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is upgraded for 2009, gaining 27 horsepower and 14 pound-feet of torque. The Hemi makes the Commander downright quick and is finest for those that need to tow trailers up to 7,400 pounds. The mid-line 4.7-liter V8 delivers fairly responsive acceleration along with a 6,500-pound towing capacity, creating it a fine option in the Commander.


Two-wheel-drive models are offered, although that appears a curious selection due to the fact Jeep’s extremely capable four-wheel-drive systems are amongst the Commander’s most compelling attributes. Buyers who don’t want off-road capability may possibly be greater served by some thing else.


The 2009 Commander delivers a brand new 9-inch rear DVD screen, auto-leveling xenon headlights, an iPod interface, and a new entertainment system referred to as UConnect GPS with a 30 gigabyte hard drive.
