The one time I looked over a commander when at a dealer I thought the back seat was stupid small for a vehicle that big. Back seats were mounted really high, so either my head hit the roof or I would've had to slouch and jam my knees into the back of the front seats.Yeah they're f'ing huge inside, are quiet and seem to have fairly good longevity. All the ones around here have insane miles on them. Seem to have held their value well too.

We had one for nearly nine years, and I'm not sure I'd agree with any of those points.Yeah they're f'ing huge inside, are quiet and seem to have fairly good longevity. All the ones around here have insane miles on them. Seem to have held their value well too.
dont argue with the online experience of an expert bro.We had one for nearly nine years, and I'm not sure I'd agree with any of those points.
It's small, loud and has lousy resale?We had one for nearly nine years, and I'm not sure I'd agree with any of those points.
Why does this hostility have to keep going on?dont argue with the online experience of an expert bro.
Fixed1941 to 2016 are the years to avoid
Yes.It's small, loud and has lousy resale?
Our Commander had a neutral setting on the transfer Case....That makes sense to me, I did some more looking and this model can't be towed w/o dolly and driveshaft pulled because of no neutral in T/C.
No body work has been done anywhere (My 1st trade, I can always spot it), yet the grille, w/s, headlights are way too nice to have spent a lot of time in the wind, plus that interior....nobody is that clean.
The base transfer case had no neutral or lo range, just full time awd. Not supposed to tow that one.Our Commander had a neutral setting on the transfer Case....
They're all 6-10 years old, and they were pretty much all bought to take kids to various types of sporting practice every day of the week. You can't really expect most of them to have low mileage. It's a Grand Cherokee that cost $500-$1000 more trim-for-trim for no reason at all. It has less interior space and worse fuel economy, worse bump angles, and at this point far less competition in the used market so worse pricing from a buyer's standpoint. Unless you're just in love with the XJ with Down's Syndrome look of the front you should cross-shop GCs. Given your track record for poor decisions I'll assume I just wasted time typing this outThe base transfer case had no neutral or lo range, just full time awd. Not supposed to tow that one.
I'm really not actively seeking a Jeep or a Commander....so naturally I've found another to waste my time looking at. At least this one has "normal" high miles, people put a ton of miles on these thing, over 200k is pretty common
Nice. Clean XJ's aren't really out there around here right now, but I've still got an eye open. As far as the Grand vs Commander, so far dollar for dollar and mile for mile, the Commanders are cleaner and less tortured than the Grands I've found for what is basically the same vehicle. I have no problem with the style, sorry it's not your cup of tea. I'm not going to drive some clapped out vehicle nor am I going to HMAM a second vehicle; just need something that will carry a little gear, allow me to strap a couple kayaks on top and let me get down on the river or lake without getting stuck or high-centered......my family sedan isn't it. So the Jeep line kinda fits what I'm looking for.
