Jeep Pickup Truck Rendering Based on the Grand Cherokee Leaves Us Wanting More - autoevolution
Yeah, that old bucket of bolts manufactured by Willys, Kaiser-Jeep, American Motors and Chrysler from 1962 to 1988. Based on the SJ platform of the Wagoneer, the humdrum Jeep Gladiator sold like hot cakes. Jeep CEO Mike Manley previously declared to the automotive media that he’s a fan of the Jeep truck, yet rising demand for SUVs and Ram workhorses are top priority at the present moment. In addition to this, an all-new, Maserati-powered Jeep Grand Wagoneer is slated to debut sometime in 2018. The Jeep Wrangler is also set to receive an all-new generation in 2017. As a consequence, the heavily-anticipated Jeep Pickup is not exactly... Don’t know about you, but the Renegade, next-gen Wrangler, Grand Wagoneer and the adjacent truck is exactly what the Jeep marque needs in order to accelerate its sales momentum. From my point of view, Manley and the designers are afraid of one thing: an all-new Jeep Pickup would cannibalize the sales of the Ram light-duty range of workhorses. Fun fact: the last time Jeep sold a pickup truck was 1992 (the Cherokee-based Jeep Comanche MJ). There are two trucks that are needed. Source: www.autoevolution.com
