I am thinking about trading my 2007 Hummer H3 with 3.7 I5 for a different SUV that can tow up to 6000#,my H3 can only tow 4500# max. The I5 just doesn'thave the grunt.
I've been thinking the Jeep Commander with 5.7 HEMI ought to have the grunt for towing. My price range is under $18K, so not sure if a 2009/2010 with the 300hp 4.7 will be in my price range. I also want the Quadra-drive II.
How good is the Commander? Are they reliable or even worth looking at? I know it's based on the Grand Cherokee.
I hate to give up my 4:1 low range, 33" tires and rear locker of the H3, but towing is becoming more important a need in the future. I figure I can add a 2" lift and some 30-31" tires at some point along with skid plates.
I'm not needing rock-crawling capabilty, reather more expo type off-roading and scenic trails.
