Which engine did you get with your Commander? The Commander came with several engine options, if yours is not listed in the poll send me a PM and I will update the poll.

I've got the 4.7 but wish I had the 5.7 especially now that I want to tow the XJ.
I have the 5.7 HEMI and I am glad that I do! Didn't even think about it when I bought the Jeep, but so glad I have it! :)
I purchased my XK with the 4.7 Liter Flex fuel and have no regrets. Just wish I had QD II.
I gots me a HEMI!!!
BTW, you listed the CRD as a 2.0 liter. It is a 3.0 liter engine!
Thanks, I changed it!Quote:

I had another Commander for one day and it had the 4.7, that is why I traded it back for the 5.7
I have the 5.7 Hemi. I'm really happy with it, more than enough power to tow my boat and QDII for playing "off the road".
06 3.7 wish the 3.0CRD was available here in the states, that would be my choice.
18 mpg lovin it.
I am very happy with the 4.7 although since fuel economy seems to be similar, the 5.7 would be nice. The 4.7 handles itself well and does a good job at towing. No regrets on the 4.7 but I too did not think much of the difference in engines when I purchased. I just wanted something with a V8
I have the 4.7L flex and happy with it. For the size of the XK this engine is has more then enough power.
We got the 4.7 Flex fuel. Wasn't really a preference thing, it came with the car. We bought used at 10k miles. Got a much better deal that way, but not all the choice we would have wanted. Now that I have lifted, put on bigger wheels, am towing, my 4.7L has yet to refuse to take me where I want to go :).
4.7 flex here. It does the job but would love to have some extra power! I wish firstly it was the CRD 3.0 and then the 5.7.
Got the 4.7L here, wish I had the 5.7L instead. With having the 4" lift and bigger tires, it feels like the 4.7L struggles to much.
While driving in PA over the weekend, We noticed at or around hanover, PA a gas station which sells E85.. Woot.. I've been waiting for a location which sells E85 after we bought the Commander.. Trouble is we had a full tank by the time we seen the station.. At least now we know if we head up that way, there is an alternative..
4.7 flex here. Bought is used with 12,000 miles on it. Didn't really consider the engine at the time, I liked all the options and color. I just knew it was a V8.
I wouldnt waste your time with E85. According to everyone I have talked to and the owners manual, it burns approx. 30% faster then 87 Octane. Im not sure what the price was where you found it but when I was stationed at Fort Meade, MD E85 cost more then 87 Octane. Just wouldnt make since to run it.Quote:

I took my flex fuel badge off and replaced it with the 4.7 Liter badge.
I looked into getting that 4.7 badge from overseas but it was a bit pricey for the badge and shipping. I'm more of a minimalist anyway. I like to debadge things so people can guess what they are.
On my VW GLI I took everything off that identifies it as a GLI because I get all sorts of people with civics and other various cars that want to race me cause I have that model. Mine is chipped and intake. It has more HP and Torque than my V8 jeep. I can beat quite a few cars if I were to try but i think it's annoying that people try and get me to race. I like the power it has for the fact that I can run 90-100 on the freeway in 6th with my foot barely on the pedal. I darkened out the whole GLI including all chrome VW symbols which are now matte black. It looks very mysterious and rides great. Keeps people guessing.
Anyway, I got a bit sidetracked.
I can spend that money elsewhere for sure.
I just didnt want people thinking I had the 3.7 liter under the hood.
I have the 3.0lt CRD Diesel, great engine. Sorry you guys in the US didn't get that option.
STD 160 KW 215 HP 510 Nm
With Diesel Power module 189 KW 254 HP 590 Nm
don't rub in the diesel issue...we can't get any medium sized vehicle with diesel, except VW's
I got the 4.7, my unit is the one the owner of the dealership was driving. Dual power, heated seats, QTII, 4.7, 6 disc, full skids, class IV hitch etc.
My friend of 20 years is a fleet lease manager so I told him what I wanted, he walked into the owners office and took his keys and gave them to me
I have the 5.7 Hemi
I looked for 2 years for Overland Edition Commander with low miles for a great price.
I am glad I waited & happy with it
Love the power & the drivetrain of the QDII with the hemi
Plus the Overland is nicely loaded so there is not much I needed to add except a lift & armor
I have the 3.7 with QDI, although a V8 with QDII would have been nice. I am quite happy with the offroad performance , I have gotten through some deep mud that even my friends 2009 Z71 4x4 silverado couldnt even drive halfway through. Also, when purchasing my car, it was either 4.7 2wd or 3.7 4wd, so I just had to go with the 4x4 lol.
4.7L V8, perfect for what i use it for
I have the Hemi and I love it. My first Commander had the 4.7L Flexfuel. I loved that when gas went to over $4 a gallon a few years back. When I used E85 my MPG went down about 20% over using 87 octane.
If I'd KNOWN I was gonna buy a Commander, I'd of studied more and got the Hemi... :(
Hemi, Got tired of that under powered 08 v6 Rubicon. With the intent of going to bigger tires I had to go with the Hemi.
