The mid-level 2008 Jeep Commander Limited 4WD comes equipped with a Quadra-Trac II active full-time four-wheel-drive system, which incorporates a new four-wheel Brake Traction Control System. When slippage on a road surface is detected, the system automatically transfers torque to individual wheels to maintain traction.

A 305-horsepower, 4.7-liter V8 engine powers the Commander Limited 4WD. The engine links to a Multi-Speed automatic overdrive transmission, which has a fifth overdrive gear that reduces noise and fuel consumption, and an alternate second gear for smooth downshifting at high speeds.

Standard features for the Commander Limited include the MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System, a new feature for 2008. The 276-watt premium sound system comes with six Bose Acoustics speakers, a touchscreen, and a 20-gigabyte hard drive for storing music and photos. Leather-trimmed seats that are heated in the front, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, power-adjustable front seats with memory, power-adjustable pedals with memory, a power sunroof with second-row skylights, and dual-zone air conditioning are also included with the Limited package.

The Commander Limited can accommodate seven passengers, thanks to a third-row seat. In addition, the second-row seats fold flat to provide additional cargo space. Safety features include a ParkView rear backup camera and side-curtain airbags, while antilock brakes, an Electronic Stability Program, and Brake Assist, as well as rack-and-pinion steering, help improve the Commander Limited's stability, traction, and handling.
