I am considering a Jeep Commander as my next vehicle to replace a much too big for me Excursion. I am looking for a XK Limited or Overland model for the 5.7L and QDII AWD system.
My question is this: How does the Dodge Durange of the same vintage compare to the Jeep XK? I see they both use the same engines. Are the rest of the drivetrain the same?
I have to get out and drive both of them to see for myself, but would like to hear your opinions of both. The internet searching seems to yield similar pricing. The pictures seem to show more rear cargo area in the Durango with the seats up than the XK. I am most wondering about the drivetrains...How similar are the transfer cases and axles?
Who has more aftermarket support?
