 Jeep Pickup Confirmed? |
I've received a couple of unconfirmed reports this morning that a Wrangler-based 1-ton pickup has been confirmed at a "Dealers Principles" meeting. The vehicle is said to come with a turbo diesel engine and go on sale during calendar year 2011.
If anyone can add to this, please do so in the comments below.

 Re: Jeep Pickup Confirmed?I guess this depends on your definition of "confirmation." Ultimately, this is about the words of a politician so take it with a grain of salt.
Perhaps not confirmation, but a bit of an assurance all the same: An article from Toledo, OH's WTOL11 It's a step… |

Re: Jeep Pickup Confirmed? I would suppose that the size of the bed would determine what constitutes a "small" pickup truck. A Wrangler based pickup truck would have more of a cargo box than a pickup bed....more suitable for hauling tools, landscaping stones, bricks and mabye a couple of mountain bikes than drywall, plywood, or an ATV....A high towing rating would be good though as the Jeep could be marketed to tow bobcats, atvs or boats....

Re: Jeep Pickup Confirmed? This wouldn't make sense. It would compete too closely with the Ram Power Wagon. A small pickup is what's needed.

Re: Jeep Pickup Confirmed? It stands to reason, AEV made the Brute Pickup out of the TJ, River Raider Offroad has a JK 4 door to 2 door "Scrambler" conversion that is technically a Pickup....Burnsville Offroad is also doing JK LWB "Scrambler" conversions....All for big bucks$$$...What it boils down to is that this is money that could be going to Chrysler/Jeep for making a simple assembly line variation of their popular product....JK SWB, JK 2 door LWB, JK 4 Door LWB, JK 2 Door Mini Pickup...Its all money in the bank if they just get on the stick...

Re: Jeep Pickup Confirmed? Probable that a Jeep Scrambler-type truck is coming.
 Highly doubtful that a diesel would be the powerplant.  And both for the same (but opposing) reasons: Cost-effective to produce/certify in U.S. (truck is, diesel isn't) Consumer demand (high for a truck; lower for a small diesel) Priced competitively (easy for the truck; a new ULSD turbo diesel would be pricey) Full-size pickups aside, there is very low demand for diesels in the U.S., and it is difficult & costly to meet U.S. emissions standards. Much more difficult now than 5 years ago. That's why they're scarce in new cars & SUVs in the U.S. Nonexistent, perhaps? Time will tell... but this has been the prevailing "wisdom"...  |
