Ummm... not for that kind of money. :nuts:

 

2012 Ram Power Wagon

 

This factory built/warrantied far superior truck chassised Dodge Power Wagon is $46k....You could buy two Power Wagons or a Power Wagon and a 40 mpg Dart and a stripper JK two door for what they will ask for that Brute crew cab.

 

For $46 K you get standard on a Power Wagon:

CrewCab 4x4 w/ 6.4-Foot Box

17-Inch Aluminum Wheels

Electric Winch

Tru-Lok® Front and Rear Axles+

4.56 Rear Axle Ratio

Front Disconnecting Stabilizer Bar

Fuel Tank Skid Plate Shield

Power Wagon® Off-Road Group+ Stripe and Badge Molding

Transfer Case Skid Plate Shield

Media Center w/ AM/FM Radio, CD Player and WMA/MP3 Jack Six Speakers

A/C

Vinyl 40/20/40 Split Bench Front Seat

Speed Control

Cloth-Trimmed Seats

Overhead Console

Power Door Locks

180-Amp Alternator

Cruise Control

Remote Keyless Entry

SiriusXM Satellite Radio+

Class IV Trailer Tow Hitch Receiver w/10,800# trailer capacity

w/ 4- and 7-pin Wire Harness

Trailer Brake Control

 

Re-badge a version of that as a Jeep and have the most capable on AND off-road Jeep truck ever. Even with the Pentastar engine the JK Unlimited is held to a 3,500 pound trailer limit due to chassis and suspensions issues.... :roll:

At a more reasonable price the Crew Cab Brute could be decent. It is not the execution or the vehicle I am knocking. But even if the silver version is the body mounted on a Ram Chassis it would probably be at least $65K after buying the Ram and converting it.

Where are you getting the $95K price tag info? According to AEV (just talked with Jeff Clark) no pricing has been released yet...

Petersen's 4 wheel-drive and Off-Road mag is but one source reporting that price range depending on options, etc... Maybe they tell some people stuff they don't tell to just anyone.

Jeep Dealers Get Brute

American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) will offer the Brute, a double-cab pickup conversion based on the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, to Jeep dealers as a turnkey, ready-to-sell vehicle. The Brute was on display at the recent National Automobile Dealers Association convention in Las Vegas. No price was announced, but according to Automotive News you can expect the sticker to be in the $65,000-$95,000 range, depending on options.

 

My title clearly states "up to $95K" & I use the 65K figure in a post. Considering the prices of their packages, previous turnkey vehicles, or even the average selling price of the Jk Unlimited Rubi that forms the base I seriously doubt you will see anything near the bottom of the price range, either. Why do you think they are so cryptic about their pricing, even when unloading their used demo's?
