2009 Jeep Commander Overland 4dr SUV (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
Review
Gas tank is half the size it should be. At 21 gallons you'll be searching for a gas station every 180 miles or every 3 hours you will be out of gas. Towing a empty trailer approx 800 lbs. I got 12.5 mpg on the freeway. The hemi stinks huge amounts of gas. As much as a 454 suburban 4x4 does. The Sirius radio has almost no reception. On a 6 hour drive it came on 3 times for a total of 10 minutes max.
Favorite Features
leather seats are very nice
Suggested Improvements
put the spare tie on the back of the truck on a swing arm and double the size of the fuel tank

Review
I rented a Jeep Commander V-8 for a long weekend of 800+ miles of driving my daughter home from college. If you like the classic Jeep look on outside it's appealing, but performance overall leaves much to be desired. 20 MPG highway is acceptable, but 15 city isn't, even for a V8 SUV. Interior has nice storage compartments, but seating is subpar, unsupportive, and DEADLY on long drives. Sight lines and visibility are however an asset.
Favorite Features
Outside 'clad' look, headlight assembly, outer rails, inside storage compartments
Suggested Improvements
Seating for both driver and front passenger is unsupportive, terrible for longer drives! Buttons and control knobs are not intuitive and poorly placed, cheap materials.

Review
I picked up the Jeep Commander two weeks ago and have greatly enjoyed driving the truck. Prior vehicle was a 2004 Land Rover Discovery which was totaled. The overall package is very nicely done with the interior being far more impressive than I expected - the khaki color makes all the difference! I would have preferred the 4.7 liter V-8 but none were available in the Sport model - the 3.7 liter V-6 seems up to the task and it even has a nice growl on acceleration. The ride is magnificent for a truck and the transmission shifts smoothly. Leg room front and back is fine with lots of storage/cubby holes. Initial impression is extremely favorable!
Favorite Features
Smooth ride and responsive handling are the most noticeable features - someone spent a lot of time tuning the suspension and steering! I enjoy the autostick and believe it to be far more intuitive than competitors tiptronic like shifters. Boston Sound system is also excellent.
Suggested Improvements
More cargo space would be welcome and the third row of seats should be removable - I have no intention of ever putting anyone back there and would much preferred to have the option of carrying those seats around or not. Rear window area could be deeper. Also, a trailer hitch should be standard,
