You sexy thing. Wonder if it is going to be called the Gladiator. Never even seen a Jeep pickup truck.. lol How you all think of it?

I think it looks unique... not too boxy like the other pickups out there.

[SingingEwe954]

Actually looks pretty nice especially as an ext. Cab only if they took off that wheel

[RoadRunner71]

I don't like how the cab ends, with that second window and the wheel. Still, has some classic look that I sort of like.

The chrome Christmas decorations have got to go, but otherwise it's a good-looking car.

[XJpostman]

Sweet! It's about time they came out with a new pickup. It does still just look like a Wrangler with the conversion kit though.

They need to make a new comanche styled one but not destroy it like the 2014 cherokee.

[Carlover325]

Looks pretty good, but I don't like the spare mounted on the side, I would prefer it on the back.  It will be the smallest pickup truck available for sale since the Ford Ranger went away in 2011.

I personally think that is Hideous 

[Kiffster]

^ couldn't agree more. Belongs in the fugly thread IMO. I love Wranglers but definitely not THAT thing

[El Diablo]

terrible. ugly.

 

bed is too short to make it useful as a serious pickup.

spare tire is annoying. would it interfere with your sideview mirrors?

chrome accents should have been matte material.

 

this is the same nonsense that Ford tried to exploit with the Explorer Sport Trac.

 

just a half-assed half-ton that's marketed to women

You can already get the conversions for the jeep
I like them I will buy one if I can afford it

Is that only a 4 foot bed or is it a 6 foot

On the website it says 

 

 

Bed Length x Width 61 x 60 inches

[SingingEwe954]

Ahh I dint see it it looks a bit short though but I guess its the picture

[GunWrath]

I actually like it, though I'm glad they're deciding to come back out with a pick-up version of Jeeps again. My brother in law had a Jeep Comanche for a few years.. it was so beautiful and bad ass.

 

So this isn't new for Jeep.. I can guarantee that they will sell like hot cakes for the avid Jeep collector and enthusiast. Nice job, Jeep.

 

this is a picture of a '92 Jeep Comanche like my bro in law had.. though this isn't a picture of his.. but it's close, I think he also had less width tires.. it was truly a nice truck and tough:

 

[SingingEwe954]

Yes they are very nice trucks I like those tires on it I don't really know why they stopped producing them

[Pukemaggots]

Lets see, that picture is the Gladiator concept from 10 years ago.

Just what I got from the article.

[motosyko]

A bet that thing can haul a ton of tampons

[SingingEwe954]

A whole lot of them

[Rented]

Naah don't look too good

[SingingEwe954]

Its not that bad its just a wrangler with a bed really

[Chunky Lee Mikal]

First, the JK8 Independence has been available from MOPAR for the last few years at a staggering $6000, the last time I checked. There's also the AEV Brute conversion, which was posted above, which adds the five foot bed to an existing Unlimited chassis. As with most conversions, it costs upwards of $20k.

I love it though, if I had $50k I'd have a Gecko Green Brute.

and guess who gets to see it before production?

My family used to have a Jeep pickup we used as a plow truck to plow our driveway in the wintertime. I remember the thing was a beast. 

[SingingEwe954]

They made those in 4 wheel drive they are like mini trucks

[Ben73]

Not a fan of this Wrangler pickup. Especially that spare wheel. Can't have that there.

 

 

Looks pretty good, but I don't like the spare mounted on the side, I would prefer it on the back.  It will be the smallest pickup truck available for sale since the Ford Ranger went away in 2011.

 

I'm guessing you are American.

I just bought a 2014 Ranger and it is one of the largest pickups for sale in Australia(unless you get an overpriced grey import from the US). Current Ford Ranger is bigger than previous models. Similar size as the VW Amarok.

You must be pushing that Ford a lot unless there better over there

[gtamann123]

Now that I look at it more it actually doesn't look that bad. But the spare wheel totally needs to be moved to the back or under the bed. 

[SingingEwe954]

But that would ruin the iconic look of the jeep having its wheel hidden away
