rmoore1031 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'm far too lazy to quote you guys. I like the Comanche concept. There I said it and meant it. Here are my bullet points that some have said already. Its a sick little truck. Gas mileage could easily be high 20s to mid 30s. Your original Comanche MJs weren't designed to compete with full size trucks. It can't put a flat piece of plywood, the bed isn't the right dimensions. The MJs were designed to be a light weight truck to compete against the competion of its time in cost, clearance, fuel economy etc... This concept has nice edges, a visor, Renegade taillights, step side bed, Trailhawk red tow hooks, a 5 foot bed, and nice interior. I actually like the Renegade and intend to buy one when my credit and finances are stable in a year or so. My new Jeep family could be the Renegade Trailhawk as my DD, a newer style Grand Cherokee for the lady and baby, Comanche Concept as our hauler, a XJ project, and a MJ project. (also as backup DD vehicles) If I remember right it has a 2" lift on nice tires. Renegades have a whopping 0.8" lift on Trailhawk trim. And I just like it, from the first picture I saw. Even in the Futurama Fry meme. (Shows Comanche Concept and says "Not sure if offended or like it") lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I never liked the Renegade, but I do like the Comanche Concept. Yeah, I do. But I use my MJ as a DD and occasional work Truck (dump runs, hauling my quad kinda stuff). Something this would suit to quite well. NOT that I plan to sell the MJ or the XJ for one anytime, but I like the concept. A slightly longer bed would be perfect IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 NOPE. This thibg earns a solid pass from me. I dig the Renegade, but I don't think this thing should be called a Comanche. The MJ, althought it was a small, unibody truck, could still get some work done in austere conditions (metric tonne package, anyone?). This thing looks like it'll MAYBE haul a couple of hardly used mountain bikes and a Starbucks latte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Reminds me of an El Camino. A car-truck. Only with a smaller engine............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoore1031 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Last two guys above me^, good points. I don't remember hearing about a cargo payload on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daking Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 @ daking Do you mean like the Nukizer concept? I thought that one looked pretty interesting, honestly. Can't say I'm a fan of the Comanche concept on the first page, though. Actually found what I was thinking... Not sure now that I can actually see it, if I like it...

SVPete Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The Comanche concept seems......chick-ish. Nukizer.....something about the grille....too small? That blue thing, is it a Ford, Chevy, Dodge? They all look the same. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoore1031 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The Renegade and Comanche Concept look small online. In pictures they are same size as the XJ. Maybe a few inches shorter. Haven't looked up exact specs but have seen them up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildman4x4 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 they also unveiled a hellcat powered wrangler: I'd love to have this but I know they will never offer it. and a crewcab m715 Now this is it.......................I'll take it with a diesel engine please. Or if they would offer it 6.2 Hemi, D60's front & rear and I'd take it. I love the look of a M715 and really like the crew cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 All you IFS/IRS haters do realize that KoH champ Shannon Campbell has IFS on his buggy right? And Tim Cameron rather promptly cut the independent suspension off his rig and tossed a set of bling solid axles under it. Independent suspension works, but at a price. There is no cheap, simple, and reliable for it. Anything that the great Fiat will be providing the market will be expensive, over complicated, and unreliable. I dare them to prove me wrong.

terrawombat Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 ...Later this year GM will be rolling out 2.8-liter Duramax diesel powered Colorado/Canyon mid-sized pickups. Will be interesting how well they sell. I think they will do well. They hit the dealer lots in early January of this year. I have test driven a couple so far and have almost pulled the trigger, but I cannot justify the price. Both trucks I wanted to buy were over $42K out the door. As for the engine, it was incredibly smooth, quiet and powerful. I enjoyed every second behind the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
