A V8 with room for seven. Feeling brave? BravePill
Our Pills are generally selected for an enticing mixture of risk and reward, but many are going to think that this week’s only scores on one side of that scale. The Jeep Commander was little-loved even when it was new and shiny. The passage of 17 years, 117,000 miles and what – against strong competition – is one of the gnarliest MOT records in Pill history probably won’t have increased the level of affection this one is likely to receive.
The Caliber, and closely related Jeep Patriot, did indeed have cheapness on their side. But the much bigger Commander did not. The very decision to offer it in Europe seemed an odd one given the combination of bling-heavy design and XL dimensions; it’s not as if the WK generation Grand Cherokee of the same period was exactly lacking road presence. The main difference was that the Commander had three rows of seats, although the rearmost were very cramped.
By the admittedly limited standards of Jeep Commanders, our Pill looks pretty decent from angles. The black paintwork is gleaming and there are no signs of the sort of dings and blemishes you might expect to find on an elderly off-roader. What it does feature is plenty of stickers: HEMI branding on the sides of the bonnet – which seems to have been factory original – plus a full-length set of racing stripes down the centreline of the car; a bold look for a 2.3-tonne SUV.
