Hottest 20 Trucks and SUVs for 2006


Built on the Grand Cherokee platform, the seven-passenger Commander expands the Jeep line to have a three-row vehicle, while retaining the legendary off-road capability. With more right angles than SpongeBob SquarePants, Commander styling was inspired by the Willys Wagon, the Wagoneer, and the Cherokee. The Commander will be offered with the choice of a 3.7-liter V-6, 4.7-liter V-8, or 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, and three full-time four-wheel drive systems. Its three rows are in a stadium seating setup, and the second and third rows fold to create a flat load floor. The V-6 is backed by the W5A580 five-speed automatic, and the 545RFE multispeed automatic comes with both V-8s. The new sport/utility will be available in two trim levels: the regular Commander, with body-color grille, standard cloth seats, and the V-6; and the Commander Limited, which has a chrome grille, leather seats, D-pillar-mounted assist handles (on the back of the vehicle), and the 4.7-liter V-8 as its base engine. Both models are available with two- or four-wheel-drive, and towing capacity is 3500 pounds for all models.
