jerpderp Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Just read a news article that said Jeep is officially adding a pickup to the line up. No details, but I'd bet they'll do the wrangler truck. I kinda dig the Comanche concept. Jeep gets a pickup truck and here's how it could look http://usat.ly/2i7Wyna Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
DirtyComanche Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 This is like deja vu for about the last 5 years.
Dzimm Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 This is like deja vu for about the last 5 years. Right. Ha. This time is legitimate, or at least as legit as possible. The Mules have been spotted. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Somis Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 3.0l ecodiesel coming as well Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Incommando Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Rumor has a Grand Wagoneer following 1 year behind the truck and on the same chassis
Wiggilez Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Rumor has a Grand Wagoneer following 1 year behind the truck and on the same chassis I can't tell is that true speculation or just sass.
fiatslug87 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 If they build this I would be first in line.
HOrnbrod Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 That is way cool. But no exterior rear door handle? :dunno: But it is just a prototype..........
Incommando Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Rumor has a Grand Wagoneer following 1 year behind the truck and on the same chassisI can't tell is that true speculation or just sass. It was announced on local TV that the Grand Wagoneer is in the works.
Incommando Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 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.
HOrnbrod Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 To carry on this theme: http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2017/01/jeep-is-helping-make-america-great-again.html Let's hope this all happens. More jobs and more Jeeps.
Incommando Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 The news report I saw was almost exactly like that article

It is amazing how well they copied the old Wagoneer style, and that it actually fits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
WyoCherokee Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 I'll believe it when i see it on a dealership. They teased us with prototypes of it and the "comanche" in Moab. Until then....its just a design
dasbulliwagen Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The Wagoneers from what Ive read will be on a Ram 1500 platform and built in a plant that's already set up for Rams. This would be awesome, have a competitor to the GM full size Tahoe and Suburban.
gogmorgo Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Might even bring back a Ramcharger if it's on the Ram platform. Fun fact, they sold a 3rd gen Ramcharger in Canada, up to 2002. Good luck actually finding one though.
HOrnbrod Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 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?
gogmorgo Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 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.
Eagle Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 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.

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:
HOrnbrod Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 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.
dfreeman616 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 For what it's worth, I'm currently a chrysler dealer tech, one of the other techs has a friend who has personally worked on the wrangler truck but of course he won't say a damn thing. something about not wanting to risk his job? hahah.

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.
