Been thinking about getting a Jeep Commander. I found one a Prescott that has the Quarda Drive system, skid plate package, tow hooks, and the Rocky Mountain Package, in Light Greystone. The wife is not as sold as I am but I'm working on her. I'm thinking 4" Superlift, MTR 285's, and AEV Pintler's, ect..

Similar to this one. sans the paint color and stock wheels.

Oh, I forgot to add, They have a $4,000.00 rebate on the sports and I get any Chrysler at 1% under invoice as a FedEx employee.

And the lifetime warranty applies as well? I'd like to see a built Commander.

Would that have the 4.7 V8 or the 5.7 "hemi"?

Both motors are going to be revamped in the next 1-2 years. If I remember correctly, the 4.7 gets revamped for the 08 models.

4" Superlift for Commander

Superlift developed a 4" lift for AEV's first project Commander. The lift
and larger 32" tires really improve the look of the Commander, not to mention
its off-road capability.

Superlift claims the Commander's V8 is powerful enough to run 32" tires
without re-gearing.

AEV chose the Commander for their Iceland exploration project. Read about
the vehicle preparations on page 9 here

While the Commander looks like a traditional Jeep, the Grand
Cherokee has the advantage of the Mercedes diesel engine.
The Grand Cherokee with 3.0L diesel is EPA rated at 20mpg city,
while the Commander with 4.7L gas V8 is rated at 14 city.

Unfortunately, Chrysler has made the diesel available only in
the top of the line Grand Cherokees, and they are charging a
huge premium for the motor. I guess they think buyers will
be cross-shopping against the Mercedes GL 320.

Given that the Commander body style will not be available
after 2007, I think Jeep dealers will be offering incentives to
move the Commanders. A discount of $12,000 or more from
the cost of the diesel Grand Cherokee will buy a lot of gas.

I wouldnt even look at a used one. With lifetime drivetrain warranty, new is the only way to go, unless its so cheap its a steal.

The one I have my eye on is the 4.7 Flex Fuel. We had a 2004 Grand Cherokee Overland with the 4.7 and I was very happy with it.

My wife is really being a stick in the mud on this. I keep leaving pictures of lifted Commanders on the screen saver. HEHE

That AEV Commander has a nice stance, well proportioned.

My wife likes the styling of the Commander, it's growing on me.
