Overview & Reviews

Engine and feature upgrades are in store for the 2008 Jeep Commander. The 4.7-liter V8 is considerably more powerful this year as well as being slightly more fuel efficient. Off-road technology and versatility are bolstered with the Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist electronic driving aids as part of the Quadra-Drive II four-wheel-drive system. Inside, the Commander has five-passenger seating available for the first time. To entertain the troops, this year's Commander can now be had with the hard-drive-based "MyGIG" infotainment system and Sirius Backseat TV.

• Stout V8 engines, comfortable and quiet interior, capable in off-road situations, plenty of luxury and entertainment features.

• Adult-unfriendly third-row legroom, unimpressive cargo capacity for its class, lackluster fuel economy, unintuitive MyGIG controls.

  Do not purchase the V6 - 2008 Jeep Commander
  By Johnathon Green - April 23 - 4:25 pm

  I cannot even begin to explain the amount of repairs this car has required. We have had the transmission replaced and it still slips. We had the air conditioning fixed, twice, and yet the average human being could blow air harder than the air conditioning that came with the car. Lastly we have had the radiator replaced, and then the hose bursted. We replaced it, it just bursted again today. I do not drive my car like a hooligan, or stomp on the gas everywhere I go in a hurry, yet this vehicle breaks on is, every step of the way, and it only has around 80,000 miles on it. With the gas mileage it makes you might as well buy a hummer that comes with a much stronger V8 over this Jeep. I made this review not because I think Jeeps suck, but because there is definitely an obvious reason why they stopped making this model.

  Luxury... Power... Style... Hi-tech - 2008 Jeep Commander
  By mekadeeg - February 24 - 5:56 am

  It is everything you could ever want from a vehicle. It is the 2nd 08 Jeep Commander in our family...(1) 4X4 and this one. The 5.7 V8 will never leave you in a tight spot...press the gas and your off...suddenly everyone is in the rear view mirror. The luxury details inside are right there with the best of them....and more. You can spend 80K on a luxury sedan and get half the features this Commander offers...and talk about a smooth ride.

  Not driving my Benz. And dont miss it - 2008 Jeep Commander
  By H.R.B - December 2 - 7:43 pm

  Purchased the Jeep Overland as a 2nd Car to have a spare SUV. My Benz has been sitting in my driveway since the day I drove the Jeep. I am selling my Benz and wont miss it! Every luxury in the world...power...and such an amazing ride. Never thought I would own an American Car much less rave about it. I would buy a 2nd one a 3rd one and a 4th one. Daughter loves the satellite TV and Daddy loves everything else. THANK YOU JEEP.

  3rd Jeep Commander - 2008 Jeep Commander
  By dr burke - August 14 - 6:50 am

  Impressive. Always inspires other drivers. Envy. Gives you a safe, comfortable Im in control feeling. Ok for married couples, but nix for kids. Plush! Right up their with a Caddy, but more beautiful and off road. Got the Lets refuel America deal for $2.99 @ the pump for three years or 800 gallons for $2.99 per gallon, for a total of 2400 gallons. Deciding factor. No telling what gas is going to cost later this year or next and they credit you with the difference. Say $5 bucks at pump, you get $201 credited back to your credit card. Money in the bank. Oh, they have a May sale going on $2,000 + $1500 + Gas card, if you push and ask to see special rebate for dealers, to give you

  Water leaking/speaker have short - 2008 Jeep Commander
  By deltau1 - April 7 - 2:16 pm

  I just purchase a 2008 commander and I am having water leaking through even when I just use wipers the hand rails near window. Going into speakers. Short, crackle sound, right side speaker dont work. Who knows where water is traveling now! Also, when driving can hear wind through windshield. Hard to see through rear window with rear back seats up, dont use it.I cant really rate the vehicle to much, since its only been a month, so far not good.
