Hello, is it really common for the motors to go in these after 200,000+ km (sorry I don’t know how to read miles)

No motor should just “go” after a certain amount of kms or miles. Engines are like any machine. If they are well taken care of & not abused, then they can last many more trips without any major repairs. Is there anything wrong with yours my fellow Canadian?

I am looking into buying one but trying to weigh the pros and cons. I was told to stay away from the ’06. I have always had GC but I like the 3rd row option and I refuse to get out of Jeep lol. Always owned GC (excpet my YJ) but want to try out the Commander I like the looks of them.

Well almost all the commanders here are over 200,000km, im at 141k miles are something like 226,000km these engines are good for 480,000km

I have a 06 4.7 at 190,000mi still running like a champ. Just keep up with maintenance.

I have an 06 Hemi Limited GC. I love it. Stay away from GC’s that had multiple owners or ones that were not taken care of. It’s a risk buying anything that is used. I hope you find a good one that’s not a lemon & I always buy used vehicles. Especially ones under 100,000 miles. That’s just me.

Me too I always ask to see paper work of maintenance done to it and same here if it had to many owners or they have no paper work I walk away,
