The Jeep CJ (Civilian Jeep) is a version of the Military Jeep, which became famous during the World War II. It was introduced and adapted for public use. The first prototype of Jeep CJ, called the CJ-2, was introduced to market by Willys in 1944. The Jeep CJ stayed in production until 1986 with seven variants plus three corporate parents.

In 1987, the Jeep Wrangler replaced the last CJ, which are CJ-7 and CJ-8. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and stayed in production for 11 years. There were about 379,299 units produced during that period. The CJ-7 has a longer wheelbase compared to older types such as CJ-5. But it doesn’t have curved doors, which is a noticeable feature of CJ-5. Moreover, the CJ-7 featured the optional system called Quadra-Trac, or automatic all-wheel drive and automatic transmission. Additional optional features include molded hardtop and steel doors. In 1982, General Motors produced a diesel powered version for export. The CJ-7 is still a favorite in the sport of mud racing and rock crawling.

A relative newcomer in Chrysler Motor’s Jeep line, the Jeep Commander (XK) was first introduced to the public in the New York Auto Show of 2005. This mid-sized SUV was made available to the public in 2006. While the Commander and another Jeep product, the Grand Cherokee may have a lot of similarities; the Commander can seat seven passengers and is styled in a more boxy design, with its sides squared off and its windshield upright.

Three moon roofs, aptly named the “Command View” also adorn the Jeep Commander. Three engines are available in the Commander’s introduction, a 3.7 L PowerTech V6 (which is still available), a 5.7 L Hemi V8 (still available), and a 4.7 L PowerTech V8 (which was available from 2006 until the 2009 model year). There is also an optional entertainment package that potential Commander owners can avail of, which includes a rear parking camera, a DVD player, and a TV.

Jeep Commander Review

The Jeep Jeepster was one of the most durable and historic lines of vehicles sold under the Jeep marque. The first manufacturers of Jeeps, Willys-Overland produced Jeepsters for two years, from 1948 to 1950. After sixteen years, the Jeepster brand was used again with the C-101 Jeepster Commando. However, the American Motors Company (AMC), which succeeded Willys-Overland, resigned the Jeepster name in 1972.

Production was halted after the 1973 model year. The Jeepster was manufactured to fill in the gap of passenger automobiles that was missing in the Willys line-up. A revival of the Jeepster was done in 1966 as the Jeepster Commando, available in different body styles: Convertible, Pickup, Station wagon/SUV, and roadster. Although the Jeepster brand was retired in 1972, the model was still produced for two more years as the Jeep Commando, available in a 232 cu in or 258 cu in AMC Straight-6 or a 304 cu in AMC V8 engine.

Estimated Price Range for Used Jeep Commando: $1,500-$10,000

Chrysler Motor’s Jeep division for the 2007 model year introduced the Jeep Compass, also known as the MK49. It is a crossover SUV that is compact-sized, and it was actually among the first crossover SUVs introduced by Jeep. It is offered by Jeep as an entry-level SUV, sport utility vehicle and is slotted with the Patriot and below the Jeep Wrangler. After being introduced at the January 2006 North American International Auto Show, the Compass was first assembled five months later in Belvidere, Illinois. The Compass currently costs $15,985 as its base price in the United States market.

Unlike other Jeep SUVs, the Jeep Compass does not carry the “Trail Rated” badge. This means that the Compass’ target market is first-time buyers of Jeep vehicles and those who are used to driving in urban paved roads. As with the Patriot, the Compass is also based on the GS platform of DaimlerChrysler/Mitsubishi, with differences in aesthetic styling and marketing approach.

Base MSRP for New Jeep Compass: $19,295
Estimated Price Range for Used Jeep Compass: $6,500-$21,000
Estimated MPG for Jeep Compass: 23 City/27 Hwy
