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".

2007 4x4 Limited, 5.7L Hemi
Mods:
OME HD Lift, 1/4" Rusty's strut plates, HD UCA's
American Racing ATX Mojave wheels with Goodyear Duratrac 265/70 R17 tires
Mopar skid plates & sport utility bars, 12" billet antenna
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
06 4.7 Bright Silver
HILLBILLY DELUXE
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.

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 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..
