jerpderp Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 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. But what if the production version has less chrome? Or none at all.... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 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. 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.It's gotten to the point around here that 99% of the Wrangler owners are not Jeep people at all and only got it because it's cool to own one or something. You wave to a wrangler driver and they give you the "why the hell he waving at me" look. Only the older wrangler and XJ drivers give the wave anymore. Edit: Oh and the 1 guy who owns a Scrambler waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Good read HERE. I agree. Maybe you guys should get a Prius or a Smart Car. I hear they like to wave at each other too. :waving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desbennett004 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Every man and his dog drives a JK around here, most of them stock, the built ones are generally mall crawlers with lots of money and a catalog thrown at them. I usually only wave at XJ / TJ and older. You can tell who is an offroad enthusiast and who isn't. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Would you wave at a dog with his friends driving a TJ? Even if they were not true offroad enthusiasts? :rotfl2: Not sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well want to wave because you wheel an MJ but drive a Civic. Might be different where you live, but here there is almost as many JK's on the road as Honda Civics.

Jeepman Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Not at all interested in any Jeep Truck if it is a 4 door, and if that data is correct then we won't likely see a truck for sale for another 2 years once that billion dollars is spent so until I see them on the dealer lot Its all BS articles just to get you to click to the website... Its Gladiator style concept for me or nothing at all but I do love that Wagoneer concept just not sure I would own one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 http://jeeptalk.org/jeep_wave.php I couldn't help but notice that the MJ was not specifically stated in the hierarchy of vehicles and therefore it must be assumed as in the "other" category? Or are we mashing it in with the XJ without specifically saying so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87MJTIM Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 :soap box: The hierarchy lists "Pre-CJ." Isn't that just Willys-Overland? Or maybe just the '41-'45 MBs. After all, these were the only "Jeeps" that are Pre-CJ. Now, off my :soap box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_rugal Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 i doubt it, the RAM covers the pick up segment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The Jeep wouldn't really take many sales away from the Ram. I would expect it to be more of a competitor to the Tacoma and Colorado. FCA doesn't currently sell a mid-size truck, at least not in this market. I personally was a fan of the Renegade-based Comanche concept, but I doubt we'll ever see that one.

Kjdrew35000 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes they are bringing out a Wrangler truck. This it true. They are going to shutdown between March and April this year. They are moving the Cherokee out and moving the Wrangler to the Cherokee side. But they have alot of retooling to do. They have not decided what they will build on the old Wrangler side yet but I heard it will be a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I doubt if I will be able to buy the $40K new Jeep truck no matter what it looks like. I would need it to be able to pull at least 6000 lbs for me anyway. Doubt it will. Probably more like the 5K or less of the comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccannan Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 3.0l ecodiesel coming as well Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk I read that they are going to produce an all electric version with Teslas style batteries. That would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaJeeper93 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm still drooling over the Mighty FC concept that was released a few years ago. I've always loved FC-170s and 150s. I know it will never make it to production, but a guy can dream, right? Imagine cruising down to the beach for a fishing trip in that thing.

man-coche Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 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.These have been all over Mexico and Guatemala until 2012 Also some custom rigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These cab-over trucks are just so awesome. I had a friend in high school that had an old cab-over truck just like this and it was the coolest thing ever. There is so much room is these cabs too.
