Wondering if anyone had one on here I've seen a few I like 2 are limited models with v8s the other is a v6 all are 4wd what's the pros and cons of them
 
We had one for a couple of years. 4.7L Sport with a 2" BB that was really nice. I liked the power style and size, but gas mileage was pitiful. I think we averaged 12.x mpg for the time we owned it.
 
Yea that's about the only bad thing I've heard is the gas milage, the one I like the most is a 06 limited 4.7 loaded with a 2 bb and jk rub I wheels and tires very clean with 110k. Anyone know how long these motors go for well maintained
 
I love my 09 Hemi Commander! I have owned 40+ 4wd's in my life and this thing is a tank in the snow, tows strong, rides nice, and in my opinion the gas mileage isn't that bad. I average 13 in town, 15 overall, 19 on the highway and 12 while towing my XJ. The only issue I have had with the XK is with the recent N-23 recall for t-case jumping into neutral while in 4-low. I have had it back to fix what the recall screwed up 3 times now. Chrysler is standing behind it and I have had no issues with them. I have 40k miles on it right now.

This is the one I like the most it's very clean and look to be well maintained it's a 06 limited with 110k priced at 13,500 which I think might be a lil high but I like it the most

^that one has been lifted, looks good! I would lift mine but I tow with it weekly. The bigger tires are going to kill your mileage. Which engine?
 
Some of my buddies have xk's. they are nice and look great lifted. They are a great all around vehicle. Gas mileage is the same for the v8 as it is in the v6. So in other words, don't get a v6, lol.

One of my buddies in Raeford had 33's on his xk. Bad arse.
 
The 4.7s generally suck. Make sure it has good maintenance history. They are bad about slugging up. For that kind of money if go with a 100 series cruiser.
 
One of my buddy's wives had one for a while, lots of electrical gremlins and poor mileage had them dump it within a year (bought lightly used). Unfortunately I do not know the particulars of their issues. It's mechanically like a WK Grand Cherokee.
 
Pretty much the same vehicle. The wk has alot less room. By brother has one and for just him, his wife, and a 1 year old they have to use a hitch basket to go anywhere. When I drive it the top of the windshield is lower than my line of sight unless I slouch. I'm 6'1''.
