Pete M Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 no. Jeep didn't drop the cherokee and grand cherokee nameplates just to bring back a different indian tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limeyjeeper Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 They haven't dropped either of those names!! New Cherokee is due in 2024. Grand Cherokee name is alive and well. The CEO of Jeep told the Cherokee nation chief in 2021 that they won't be dropping the name, as they shouldn't IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 oh! guess I made an assumption when I heard rumors of the Liberty coming back and the Wagoneer name being used (as opposed to the already used Grand Wagoneer). that's a lot of Jeep models at the same time. eeeeenteresting...

The Wagoneer is a bigger vehicle than the Grand Cherokee, not just a higher trim level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictlyxjs Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 That article, although interesting makes my head hurt. It obvious the writer just thows ideas out there without any real knowlege of what he is talking about. Like the suspension travel being better because it is "body on frame" vs unibody. One could argue that infact the opposite could be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 It doesn’t look to me like a legitimate site. Just a clickbait headline with enough content to attract attention so they can collect ad revenue. There isn’t even much actual content there, just “other manufacturers are doing it and there was that concept a while back… makes sense they might” fluffed out to look like they’re saying something.

Keyav8r Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 IMHO - if Stellantis decides to go after the small truck (Maverick) market it makes a better business case to do so as a Ram product. The general public perceives Jeep as an off-road/SUV company and Ram as a truck company, which would make a small pickup from Ram more acceptable. The development of a small Ram pickup is complicated by the proposed 2024 re-introduction of the Dakota as a mid-sixe pickup. I think Stellantis would want the Dakota to have time to develop its own market share before introducing a smaller pickup that could take sales from Dakota. Jeep is currently heavily involved with electrifying/promoting its existing products and any new product would most likely be an EV SUV. I also think that any small truck introduced would be a derivative product from an existing platform, almost guaranteeing that the base model would be FWD and probably hybrid.

m2bandit Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Yikes, that website was bad. Just a bunch of guesses thrown out as click bait. TBH nothing in the jeep line interests me anymore. The Ford Bronco though, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
