If they build this I would be first in line.

 

This would be such an easy production mod on the JKU as they did with the prototype shown.

It is amazing how well they copied the old Wagoneer style, and that it actually fits.

Canada has always had great variations of cars and trucks that looked different than our domestic stuff, especially the 60's-80's GM vehicles. The trim to me always looked better than the American vehicles. I remember my Dad bought a truck like the below when we lived in VT close to the border when I was a kid. He loved Mercurys.  :yes:

To our Canadian members: Do you still see any Mercury pickups running around up there?

They're becoming more popular in the classic truck crowd, I think something about being different. There was one I saw on the road a couple times a week this summer, all done up in red and black as though it had just been restored or at least repainted, and I see the odd one go up on local (well, local to me is about 300 miles, lol) classifieds every so often.

Well, I guess it's my job to be the resident contrarian. I certainly agree that Jeep needs to be making a pickup again. A pickup based on the Wrangler? No way. Ugly, stupid, and impractical. I'm not even a little bit interested. And, given that it's based on the obscenely over-priced Wrangler, we can also be assured that the new PU will be obscenely over-priced.

100% agree. When people talk about a modern day Wrangler truck, I don't imagine it being an actual useful-for-work truck, I imagine it being more like this:

Cheap bastids. You have to be very sick if you don't love this. Not a "work" truck by any means, but who buys trucks for work now anyhow? Maybe 10% max of the total?

 

 

I agree though about the proposed 4DR JK truck. That is ugly maximus.

The strategy of overpricing the Wrangler seems to have worked quite well though.  There's millions of them here.  My hand gets sore from all the waving.
