I can't see them only doing a 2door xtra cab truck. 4 doors is what the masses wants, whether it's a jeep or truck. In fact, I'd be surprised if they even offer a 2dr truck.

This is a little dated but I think it is still relevant as to the design constraints for the new pick up.

So am I the only one that's hoping they throw the EcoDiesel in the truck?

Because FCA wants it to be twice as expensive as it should be?

Sigh... Well if that's the case I better start saving up to get a Brute from AEV. Lol

Just as a quick update... From what I'm reading it the pickup will be Wrangler based. If the truck comes in 4 doors, has straight axles front and rear, has a wheel base of 130" or less and offers the sway bar disconnect I'd be tempted to sell my Tacoma for one. I don't care if the suspension is on leafs or coils... I can work with either.

I think it's almost a given that it will be built on a Ram frame. Remember that the new line they're building at the Jeep plant is going to be used initially for Ram production while the Ram plant itself is being retooled. It makes sense that instead of retooling the new Jeep line only a year after they build it that they'd just keep that in place and put a more Jeep-like body on it along with the typical Jeep suspension goodies.

Down sized Power Wagon with Wrangler clothes... Sounds cool to me! :beer:
That truck is a beast (in a good way
), off road.
How awesome would it be for the Dodge boys to get the same platform decked out as a Dakota! Like the similarities between the Durango and Grand Cherokee.

Did you come across any discount on the 16 due to an upcoming new model? I suspect a lot of Jeep buyers are unaware of the upcoming model change so it might not play any role in negotiations.
