CAPABILITY
THE POWER TO MAKE BOLD CHOICES
The 2008 Jeep Commander has three available 4x4 systems that offer varying degrees of on-road ability and off-road mastery. Standard full-time
®
Quadra-Trac I 4WD is an always-on system. It transparently transfers power to wheels with the most traction. Available Quadra-Trac II 4WD
®
®
offers a full-time high- and part-time low-range 4x4 system. Its innovative all-speed traction control can detect wheel slippage and send up to 100
percent of the available torque to the axle with the most traction. In low gear, this system delivers maximum torque off-road. Available QuadraDrive II 4WD is a full-time high- and part-time low-range 4x4 system with front and rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differentials (ELSD). The ELSD
®
feature can quickly shift up to 100 percent of available torque to any one of the four wheels with the best traction.
From construction potholes to the nastiest logging trails, come explore the kind of rugged beauty you can only experience
behind the wheel of a Trail Rated Jeep Commander 4x4.

JEEP COMMANDER

®
JEEP TRAIL RATED vehicles
®
are designed to perform in a
variety of off-road conditions
identified by five performance
categories:
ARTICULATION
The ability to keep tires in
contact with the road,
providing traction to climb
over large obstacles.
TRACTION
The ability to transfer power
to the road or trail along with
the ability of the suspension
to keep the wheels in contact
with the terrain.
MANEUVERABILITY
The ability to navigate
around obstacles that are
tightly situated.
GROUND CLEARANCE
The ability to drive over
large obstacles or logs in
combination with approach/
departure/breakover angles.
WATER FORDING
The ability to cross a
specific depth of water at
a specific speed.
Do not attempt water fording unless
depth is known to be less than 20
inches. Traversing water can cause
damage that may not be covered by
the new vehicle warranty. Always offroad responsibly in approved areas.

POWER
POWER, EFFICIENCY, FLEXIBILITY
The legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 engine with Multi-Displacement System (MDS) provides a one-two punch of 330 hp and ingenious economy.
®
(1)
The MDS seamlessly deactivates four cylinders when cruising between 40 and 60 mph and, by doing so, offers increased fuel efficiency. Standard
(1)
on Commander Overland and available on Limited. Commander’s choices continue to impress with a new 4.7L V8 engine. This workhorse has
been designed to run on unleaded gasoline, ecologically friendly E85, or any combination — without compromising its powerful performance
of 305 hp and 334 lb-ft of torque. This strong performer is standard on Limited and available on Sport. Tried and true and perfectly capable of
empowering the most far-reaching pursuits, the 3.7L V6 engine showcases durability and efficiency in a compact, 210-hp package. It is worthy
(2)
of standard equipment status on Sport.
THE 2008 JEEP COMMANDER INCLUDES A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN LIMITED
WARRANTY. No deductible. See dealer for a copy of limited warranty and details.
Non-Transferable. Not available on certain fleet vehicles.

You can equip your Commander with your choice of three engines, depending on the performance you need. For the ultimate in towing power, choose the 5.7L
HEMI V8 for the strength to pull up to 7,400 lb when properly equipped.

VERSATILITY
CONFIGURE IT OUT
When properly equipped, the Trail Rated 2008 Jeep Commander can seat up to seven. By selecting the option for the third row of seating, you’re
®
®
driving the most capable seven-passenger Jeep vehicle in our legendary history. With three rows of stadium seating, the interior features no less
than 15 different seating/cargo configurations. And with numerous cubbies and bins to store toys, gear or snacks, you can keep Commander’s
interior neat and clean. Or you can fill its 68.9 cu ft of maximum cargo volume full of backpacks, lumber, groceries — you name it. But no matter
what Commander holds, you can count on providing supreme comfort for up to seven and all but unparalleled adaptability. Commander delivers
a degree of ultimate versatility and capability that only a member of the Trail Rated family could provide.
Fold and Tumble 40/20/40 secondrow seats provide a spacious, flat
cargo load floor and access to thirdrow seats. Reclining second-row
outboard seatbacks provide
comfort. The second-row center
armrest features deployable cup
holders. Auto-folding head restraints
make for exceptionally easy cargo
load floor conversion. Flexible
third-row 50/50 single-action splitfolding seatbacks include outboard
head restraints.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
SETTING THE STANDARD
Jeep Commander’s robust Electronic Stability Program (ESP) includes Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), an antilock brake system (ABS), Brake Assist
(1)
®
and the new Trailer Sway Control (TSC), all working together to help you and your trailer load safely reach your destination. When the network of ESP
sensors detect that you’re veering off your intended path, this comprehensive system automatically initiates braking action to stabilize the trailer and
help keep you moving safely forward. Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Hill Descent Control (HDC) are new available features that employ automatic braking
to help get you safely up and down the mountain.
Commander’s standard ParkSense Rear Park Assist System helps to make sure you back into and out of your parking space safely. Ultrasonic sound waves give
an audible and visual warning when driving in reverse at speeds below 10 mph. Advanced driver and front-passenger multistage air bags and Side Occupant
Protection System with side-curtain air bags help protect Commander’s outboard occupants.
®

No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the
ESP warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always
wear your seat belt.
Always check entire surroundings before backing up.
Always use seat belts. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system, or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child’s age and size.

ride remains comfortably quiet, with substantial sound-dampening elements integrated into nearly every inch of its design.

and-pinion steering and an independent front and a multilink rear suspension system. Included in the core of Commander Sport’s safety and security
