From the start, it's important to note that none of these competitors can match the 2008 Jeep Commander once the road ends.
The Commander maintains this traditional Jeep advantage.

The 2008 Jeep Commander is good Jeep (a trail-capable vehicle), but it's not a great people mover. | The 2009 Honda Pilot looks more SUV-like in its second edition, but it has the room of a minivan, along with some notable styling miscues and expensive choices to make from the options list. | As the perennial best-selling truck-based SUV, the Ford Explorer is still the one to beat. | If you tow and off-road with the family, the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder is one of the better traditional truck-based SUVs available. | The 2008 Toyota 4Runner isn’t as roomy or as efficient as newer crossover designs, but if you need towing or off-road capabilities, it’s a good, safe choice. |
