2006 Jeep® Commander

This is our 2006 Jeep Commander in "Bright Silver Metallic", the same color as our 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo.

The Commander was introduced in August 2005 for the 2006 model year.

Although built on the same chassis as the Grand Cherokee, the Commander is longer, taller and wider.

17" wheels with tire pressure monitoring, fold away mirrors, and roof rack (but not cross rails) are standard.

Additions include the factory Class III hitch, front license plate holder and roof rack cross rails.

The rear tail, brake and backup lights have been changed to LED's, and the painted grille to a chrome one.

The passengers ride "stadium seating" with each row of seats higher than the one in front of it.

Seven passenger seating in three rows, with the aerodynamics of a brick.

This model has the 3.7 Liter 210-horsepower V-6 engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission

The second row of seats split 40 - 20 - 40.
