New Jeep Pick-up 2018

[Lowly]

With a new Jeep pickup coming out in 2018. Do you think the Comanche will lose value or become less appealing? 

[gogmorgo]

Theres another thread about it. A few members have already made mention of selling their MJ when it comes out. That'll do one of two things. Either the quality of the MJs in question will drive up prices, or else sudden "flooding" of the market will push them down.

 

Given that the plan would be to base it off the Wrangler, I don't really see Jeep calling it a Comanche, though. I expect the value of CJ-8's to go up a bit...

I really don't see the new Jeep Truck all that appealing compared to an mj...JMO I an worried it will be more of a mall crawler instead of a trail piece. I know things seem to go that way and even though it is based off the wrangler i believe it will be lacking..Hard to justify buying it just to have to put 10k in it to do what you really want to do...

I don't see why people would sell their MJ. Just because of a new Cherokee came out the prices of XJ's didnt go up or decrease that i noticed. the new jeep truck could not ever live up to where the MJ is. It would be like saying that a JK is just as good as a CJ-8.

They may as well just call it the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Pickup because that's all it's ever going to be.

I vote for "Gladiator" because it's one of the coolest vehicle names ever. :D

It's going to suck not being able to say  "I'm the one with the Jeep truck" and have people know exactly which one I'm talking about anymore  :(

[gogmorgo]

Arguably that's already the case. There are probably just as many J-trucks kicking around Saskatoon as there are MJ's.

 

+1 on the Gladiator name. Every single Jeep truck out there will fight to the death :D

If I'm still working then, I'll be ordering one!

Will probably remain the same in it's own little niche category. Except when people come to the shop I work at, I probably won't get too many of them saying "WOW, a real Jeep truck! Haven't seen one of those in forever!" like I normally do.  :dunno:

I would love to read the other thread about it could someone link it?

[Lowly]

As to my own thoughts I would love to have one. But I have put to much time and love into mine to start another project. I share the same feelings loving going to a jeep meet and everyone saying Whoa jeep made a pick up? Lol.

A brand new jeep would be "another project?"

 

F that! I'd drive the wheels off it factory fresh and enjoy the warranty!

I really don't beleive that they will put a Wrangler front end on this when it comes out. Hopefully it will look similar to the Nukizer concept... more jeep truck like than Wrangler like.

That I would buy, a Wrangler looking truck though ... Wouldn't even bother looking at.

 

As for affecting MJ values ... doubtful really, too late.

I think the only effect it'll have on us MJ owners is we'll get less comments to the tune of "Jeep never made a truck!" This Wrangler thing and the Comanche are about as different as they can be while both still being called trucks. I mean, I hope MJ values go up, but I doubt it'll amount to anything.
