Possibility of a Jeep Pickup for 2016

Post by Knucklehead »

Sounds like there may be a Pickup in the Jeep lineup in 2016.

Yeah, Chrysler mentioned this just recently. Stating that the Wrangler will get refreshed in 2015 (MY2016), and that diesel's and a pickup are a good "possibility".

If they ever do decide to do this I think they'll sell pretty good but it will be competition for the Ram so who knows.

If Jeep were to build a bare bones no frills 4x4 that's utilitarian like the old flat fenders I'd be hard pressed not to get one, especially if there was an optional 3pt hitch and pto. :mrgreen:

Now that the Dakota is gone Chrysler needs a small pick-up. So who knows maybe it could happen, but as said before, I am not holding my breath.

Dunno about competition, but it's a good contender to fill the domestic small truck niche. Since GM axed the Colrado, For axed the Ranger, and Dodge axed the dakota.. Who knows right?
Gonna be pricey though
