Sure-footed Seven-Passenger 2010 Jeep(R) Commander
09/01/2009
Jeep
Offering three rows of seats to carry up to seven passengers, the 2010 Jeep Commander features the legendary 5.7-Liter HEMI(R) engine, which is standard on Limited models and optional on Sport models. The HEMI delivers 357 horsepower (259 kW) and 389 lb.-ft. (520 N-m) of torque and also features fuel-saving Multi-displacement System (MDS) technology, which seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is in demand.
The 2010 Jeep Commander's 3.7-liter V-6 engine is a powerful engine that produces 210 horsepower (157 kW) @ 5,200 rpm and 235 lb.-ft. (319 N-m) @ 4,000 rpm. An exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) valve helps increase fuel economy.
Located in the roof above the second row are available CommandView(TM) Skylights. These dual tinted glass skylights are optional and packaged with the power sun roof that is positioned above front-seat passengers.
For Jeep Commander customers who want the assurance of full-time four-wheel drive without any switches or levers to pull, Quadra-Trac I(R) is ideal. The use of the Brake-traction Control System (BTCS) with the single-speed transfer case makes the 2010 Jeep Commander's 4x4 system extremely competent in a variety of driving situations.
The Quadra-Trac II(R) 4x4 system gives customers the benefit of a two-speed active transfer case and BTCS. The NV245 transfer case takes input from a variety of sensors to determine tire slip at the earliest possible moment and take corrective action.
The Quadra-Drive II(R) 4x4 system offers customers the ultimate in off-road capability. It combines the NV245 full-time transfer case with Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD) for best-in-class tractive performance.
All Jeep Commander's four-wheel-drive systems are Trail Rated(R).
A five-speed automatic W5A580 transmission provides smooth shifts and optimum fuel economy and is available with Jeep Commander's 3.7-liter engine. The 5.7-liter HEMI(R) V-8 engine is mated to a 545RFE five-speed automatic transmission. This transmission's high torque capacity gives Commander class-leading towing capacity of 7,400 lbs.
