Consumer Guide

Each ascending trim level of the 2009 Jeep Commander offers a wider variation of standard features both inside and out, while optional equipment includes even more gadgetry.

The 2009 Jeep Commander is available in Sport, Limited, and Overland trim levels, with optional rear- or all-wheel drive. Power windows and door locks, a power driver seat, air conditioning, and a CD player are standard equipment on all Jeep Commander models. Edmunds reports that the Limited model adds "a power sunroof with twin skylights for those ensconced in the second row, satellite radio, rain-sensing automatic wipers, power-adjustable pedals and an automatic dual-zone climate control." Edmunds also notes that the Overland is similarly equipped but features special interior and exterior trim.

Cars.com reports that Jeep Commander owners with families "will appreciate the kid-friendly options. Among them are Sirius Satellite TV, which debuted in Chrysler's redesigned minivans not long ago; it streams mobile content from Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel and Cartoon Network to the Commander's rear flip-down screen.” The Web site adds, "Chrysler's MyGIG infotainment system incorporates a hard drive that can store some 1,600 songs—enough that you can leave your iPod at home. A navigation system can be coupled with it, and the system includes real-time traffic monitoring, provided you subscribe to Sirius Satellite Radio, which streams the data in."

Other 2009 Jeep Commander features include 17-inch aluminum machined-face wheels with painted pockets (standard on Sport models); 17-inch, five-spoke aluminum machined face wheels with painted pockets (standard on Limited models, optional on Overland models); and 18-inch, seven-spoke aluminum chrome-clad wheels (standard on Overland models).

Conclusion

The list of available options for the 2009 Jeep Commander allows owners to customize the Commander into the perfect—albeit potentially very pricey—SUV.

Other Choices:

It's important to note that none of these competitors can match the 2009 Jeep Commander once the road ends—the Commander maintains the advantage here, though the 4Runner and Pathfinder can be equipped quite well for off-roading. Some of these competitors, however, do offer varying degrees of niceties such as extra room and/or comfort for rear-seat passengers. The Ford Explorer is one of the roomiest in the class with ample space even way in back. The Honda Pilot offers seating for eight, outdoing the Commander by one, and has crisp handling and great ride quality. The Nissan Pathfinder's second row is comfortable, but its very tight third row is similar to the Commander's.
