Sooo - I believe it when I see it.

I like this one as well as the Gladiator concept. Both would look right at home on the road today.

I think it's the Green on the Gladiator Concept that makes it so appealing but the Jeep Wrangler JT looks like it's small enough to go where a normal wrangler can go. Both are great candidates. The Red Rock one is a nice concept but it just seems a bit too large for the mass market.

JK8 and JT aren't concepts, they're actual products. They sell the JT to the military and you can buy a JK-8 conversion kit at any time you please...

Yup.

JK8 is on my bucket list, especially when up to spec like Red Jacket:

it seems pretty clear to me that the Wrangler pickup will look pretty much like the new Wrangler except with a pickup bed. We aren't going to get any of the interesting style features that are seen in some of these vehicles.

 

[gladiator]

Won't be that hard to visualize anyways, and I highly doubt they'll go the length to make it look significantly different than the Wrangler.
Once we see the new Wrangler, if the truck isn't shown at the same time, we might see renderings of what the truck. They'll come close to the real deal I bet.

 

[jeepers]

Do you think there will be anything interesting in terms of design when the Wrangler pickup is revealed?

 

[gladiator]

Not that I can think of, just that it will have a bed.

 

[Jeepernator]

Feel like it's most likely going to look like the Jeep Wrangler JT is they're just adding a bed.

 

[jeepers]

I guess that's fine though there is potential to do something more interesting if they wanted to invest the time and effort.

I'll be more interested in seeing how owners customize these, lifted with ram bars, big aggressive mud tires, and all that good stuff.

That's a good point. Jeep doesn't have to do a lot because customers will be more than eager to customize these themselves. There will likely be some really cool customer Wrangler pickups that we will see in due time.

It will also keep cost down, but who knows they could very well make the case for trims that include some of these, in the end those turn out to be a win for the consumer since getting all those goodies as a package is cheaper than if you were to get them individually.

 

[HighRider]

Most important is the engine itself. Everything else can be modded but it's a pain to replace the engine with something you want.

 

[gladiator]

Indeed. It's far more viable to just add to it, tunes, forced induction and little things like air intakes, exhaust systems, etc.
