    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

    No choice

    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.

    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

    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.
