Default Commander or WJ Grand Cherokee

I am interested i purchasing a new vehicle and i have narrowed my options to 2 vehicles the commander or grand cherokee WJ i want the 4.7 and both offer it i was wondering if anyone has any experience driving or working on either of them i would like to here what is better. so far it seems like the WJ just because it has more aftermarket options than the Commander. What do you guys think i want to be able to tow my cherokee or my utitly trailer for dirtbikes

The commander gets horrible mileage and you don't get much more room really. The WJ will give you a better 4wd system and more aftermarket parts as well. So the WJ gets my vote.

XK vote here. Own one and really like driving it. Looks a lot better in my opinion too. Gas mileage is worse than any 350 silverado ive ever drove (around 12 city - 16 to 20ish hwy). I could care less i live 5 minutes from work.

Plus, a built XK is one of the sickest looking things ever.

Last video is sick.

In my opinion the wk is two fancy, but the one with the hemi is awsome, we tow so much with it and it can offroad like no other.
