The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter Plug # A10-5030AVP is simply an adapter for the connector styles of 30 Amp Female to 50 Amp Male. It does not change the voltage at all. view full answer...
The largest rooftop cargo box we carry is the Thule Motion XT, part # TH629906. This cargo box offers 22 cubic feet of storage space and has a weight capacity of 165 pounds. It is designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. The Motion can be opened from either side of the vehicle, and features Thule's One-Key System locks on each side.
I have attached a review video of this cargo box for you.
We do not carry any waterproof cargo boxes. A rooftop cargo... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule cargo basket part # TH859XT that you referenced would fit the Thule roof rack you have installed on your 2006 Jeep Commander as it can fit aero crossbar roof racks without a problem.
You can get a lock , part # TH450500 that will secure the roof basket to the roof rack so that the attachment hardware cannot be tampered with and this will deter theft. view full answer...
There isn't a vehicle specific brake controller wiring harness for your 2006 Jeep Commander, even if it came with a factory 7-Way. But you can still install a brake controller, # 90195, with minimal splicing. I have included a link to a video showing how you would install the brake controller. It is a different controller and a newer Commander but the installation is the same. A wiring kit, # 5506, is recommended to complete the installation. view full answer...
Yes, you can add an additional friction sway control to the Reese Weight Distribution System part # RP66542 by using the Reese Sway Control Kit part # RP26002. This is a very common practice when using the Reese Weight Distribution System with a longer trailer or just when additional sway control is needed. view full answer...
A favorite wiring kit here at etrailer is the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Once you install it you simply just connect the coiled wire from the 6-Way on your 2007 Jeep Commander to the 7-Way on your motorhome (assuming that's what your motorhome has) and you are good to go!
One of the best features about this kit is that if you use a supplemental braking system that draws power from the battery of your Commander, like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR,... view full answer...
The first thing you'll want to do is identify the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your camper, and to that number, add the weight of any cargo carried behind the rear axle in the cargo area of your Commandeer. I've linked to an FAQ article that explains how to find the trailer's tongue weight.. These combined figures represent the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your set-up. The TTW of your trailer should fall as close as possible to the middle of the effective range of the... view full answer...
The Yakima LoadWarrior, # Y07070, is listed as a fit for the factory or dealer optional crossbars on a 2007 Jeep Commander. You can also use the MegaWarrior, # Y07080. I have included instruction and video links for both baskets for you to view.
If you need to add crossbars that run side to side on the roof, there are several options depending on how the roof is equipped on your vehicle. I have included a link to the roof rack main page for a 2007 Jeep Commander. view full answer...
For a 2006 Jeep Commander with no 7-way connector, I recommend the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 118408. This harness easily connects to the vehicle wiring and requires no cutting or splicing into the wires. I have attached a link to an installation video for this harness you can check out.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion. view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Express rack # HRE3 is listed as a fit for your 2006 Jeep Commander. But this rack does not have anti-sway cradles which means the bikes can swing back and forth into each other and potentially into the back of the vehicle.
It might be worthwhile to upgrade to the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139, which does have anti-sway cradles.
For any trunk mount bike rack make sure that the rack and vehicle are clean where they come into... view full answer...
You are correct that your 2008 Jeep Commander does not have a factory trailer brake controller port under the dash, so there are a few options to install a 7-way connector.
The first option is a traditional trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. As long as your 7-way connector was factory installed Jeep will have ran a light green brake output wire which you should find coiled up underneath the dash. You will need the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but we recommend 3-4" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender and at least 1" from the inside of the tire to the outside of the frame. It seems like you are already under the recommend fender to tire clearance so the only option for a larger size would first require lifting the trailer. This would require more details on the axle type to recommend but the most universal option is the Lippert Components Standard Axle Lift Kit part # LC425750. This... view full answer...
On your 2006 Jeep Commander you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118408.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885.... view full answer...
I did some research on your 2006 Jeep Commander and it looks like when properly equipped it has a towing capacity of 6,500 lbs. So you should be just fine. You will want to consult your owners manual though just to be certain though.
If you do not have trailer wiring on the vehicle you would need the part # 118408 to provide a 4-way.
If the trailer has brakes then you would want to install a brake controller to allow you to actuate them and assist in the braking of the set up.
From there... view full answer...
I do more than likely have the correct trailer hub/drum that you need however, the 15637 number that you provided is just a casting number and this does not give us any information that is needed to determine a replacement. I spoke with Dexter to confirm this. FYI, Titan bought Dico and Dexter bought Titan.
Therefore, in order to determine the correct replacement for your trailer you will first need count the number of lug studs. Then once this is done you can measure the contact surface... view full answer...
The MaxxTow Off Road Light Kit part # MT80636 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Jeep Commander. You can use the included hardware for a universal style mount, but the easiest solution would be a light bar mount like the part # CARR210341 and # CARR220051 which is also a fit for your Commander which will make the install much easier. view full answer...
You will need to measure the width of the crossbars on your 2006 Jeep Commander. If they are less than 4 inches wide, you can use the Thule M.O.A.B., # TH690, that you have referenced. I have included a link to a video showing the basket on a different vehicle.
Rhino Rack offers several baskets that will fit on crossbar widths up to 3-7/8 inches wide.
Another option is the SportRack Cargo Basket, # A21030. If the crossbars are less than 3-1/2 inches wide, you can use this basket.

The Thule Canyon XT #TH859XT will fit the crossbars that are spread apart between 20 inches and 37 inches when the center to center distance on your crossbars is measured. If your crossbars can be situated in that span, then this roof basket will work for you.
To secure the cargo in the basket I also recommend the Thule Cargo Net, part # TH692. This measures 40 X 36 inches. view full answer...
The best way to convert the 4-Way on your Jeep Commander to a fully functional 7-Way connector for use with a standard brake controller is to use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This kit includes the new 7-Way/4-Way connector plus all the additional wiring and circuit breakers needed to complete the brake output, 12V, and reverse light (if needed) circuits on the new connector.
Since you already have a 4-Way to 7-Way adapter you can also just add the Wiring Kit # 5506 instead, which... view full answer...
The best option for you to have to avoid you lifting the bikes so high to put them on the Jeep, is to go with a platform bike rack solution. The Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ will allow you to load the bikes just right above the hitch for easy access loading and unloading. With he Doubletrack's low loading height and ratcheting arms on the central mast, your bikes are mounted and ready to go in seconds. The arms include cushioned hooks that adjust independently to hold two... view full answer...
