I'm in the same situation. My 2009 Jeep Commander now has 144k miles on it. Its been a fantastic "do everything" vehicle. As a matter of fact, this past week we drove it up to Milwaukee for a Generac plant tour and then on up to Road America for the vintage racing event.

I have tried to convince myself to replace it with an LR4, but after hours and hours of research, I've decided that LR4's are just junk. Very nice looking junk.

I love my Commander (underpowered 210 hp 3.7 V6 stripped sport model) despite what the CEO of Fiat Chrysler said about them:

“That car was unfit for human consumption,” Mr Marchionne said, as reported by Automotive News. “We sold some, but I don’t know why people bought them.”- Fiat and Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne

I am flying to the South Carolina coast on Thursday to pick up its replacement. A Jeep dealership just took a 2009 in trade with only 36k miles. This one is the Overland trim, with Hemi 5.7, full leather, and every available option.

I called on it while it was still in service, even prior to detail. The salesman sent pics, then found out the price, then called me back, and I paid it. I'm also paying $639 doc fee plus $125 title fee. I shut my mouth and took it like a man. I was the perfect "lay down", "No Haggle customer." lol.

I will keep both Commanders until the "new" one is sorted. Then I guess I will sell the old one unless I can talk my brother into taking it. I hate to let it leave the family.

Good luck with the search!
