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.

  Gas Guzzling, but Utiltitarian - 2008 Jeep Commander
  By DEREK GRANT - August 25 - 12:16 pm

  Its actually pretty nice. Good size. Not compact at all, but not the size of a Suburban despite seating 7. On the other hand, itll burn a hole into your account with the cost of fuel. Avg in the city: 12. Yea... like a 70s barge. Avg on the highway: 17. Which is the lowest end on the spectrum of fuel efficiencies in other cars similarly sized. But, it is capable of going basically anywhere...

  This has been an amazing truck for my wife and kids. Safe, good looking, dependable. We have never had a single problem in 33,000 miles.

  3rd Jeep Commander - 2008 Jeep Commander

  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.
