87Warrior Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I do like the attitude of that Italian :D I bet a Jeep Truck comes to be, probably loosely based on the JK platform. I hope they come up with something that the wheeling community can embrace for the sake of the "Jeep" name. I won't be in line to buy their truck, because I am building my own... unless it hits showroom floors in 5 years and can pull my TJ. I hope, that if anything, it will be scrambler-esque. No seperate bed, just one tub, and a half cab. Anything more than that will be a massive failure in my eyes. Make it an Unlimited, with a half cab no back seats. This is exactly what I hope they DO NOT build. I can't see it being more desired by consumers than the 4 door. Plus, it would not be a truck. i hope Jeep makes a truck, Chrysler needs to butt out on Jeep designs, theyve been going downhill since 2000 There are a few guys at Chrysler who still care. Here is a good read about how the Rubicon package came to be. Just a group of true Jeepers proving the usefulness of hardcore equipment to the executives, which is kind of disappointing in itself. http://www.jpmagazine.com/featuredvehic ... index.html
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Truck - Any of various heavy motor vehicles designed for carrying or pulling loads we don't need 4 doors, fancy buttons, shiny chrome or 20" wheels. just this Jeep already has plenty of bling on wheels already, how about producing a workhorse to help the American economy get moving again? honestly i have a feeling if Jeep does make a truck it'll have a new platform of its own, hopefully unibody. and come with a diesel or upgraded Hemi. if all else fails, i still got my MJ, and ima make it into a REAL truck :thumbsup:
camjeep3 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 why a unibody? i wish my mj had a true frame. :???:
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 well not the whole thing unibody, the bed would be separate of course. (like our MJs) unibodys more lighter mainly
kro10000 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Personally the only modification I'd make on the Gladiator is have a removable top. Otherwise I'd want one exactly as is
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 a truck convertible? :huh???: didnt chevy make one like that and failed at it :shake: I hope u mean soft top lol :yes:
kro10000 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Dodge made a convertible dakota... but lets not try to draw parallels between the two :peek:
xjrev10 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 a truck convertible? :huh???: didnt chevy make one like that and failed at it :shake: I hope u mean soft top lol :yes: M715 :thumbsup:

terrawombat Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 a truck convertible? :huh???: didnt chevy make one like that and failed at it :shake: I hope u mean soft top lol :yes: M715 :thumbsup: It's a bit of a stretch, but the CJ-8 Scrambler was a bit of a truck convertible :D
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 the type of convertibles i was talking about wee the hardtops that can be hidden/removed, like the pos SSR. softtop Jeeps arent too much of a convertible :D

Soft tops Jeep are absolutely considered convertibles. 2. The CJ-8 Scrambler has a hard top that can be removed and hidden (like in my garage).
