Dealer Memo: 2020 Jeep Pickup Truck Debut, Teases Real Truck Capability and "Exclusive Innovations"

That's what I was thinking as well. The spy shots show a lot of overhang even for a regular truck. Guess we'll know soon enough!!

Composite bed

The Tacoma has a composite bed, and the feature list from Jay says spray in bedliner will be an option... which they wouldn't do in a composite bed. So I don't think that'll be a feature or if it was, it wouldn't be unique to the JT.

I noticed the draped JT in that shot looks better as well. I wonder why that is. Maybe they had extra crap mounted on the body panels under the trash bags on the mules to confuse everyone on the actual shape.

It could be the angle, the bed looks a lot shorter (which I would LOVE.) Its also possible that the covered image is just a stock photo and not necessarily the real truck.

I agree the 4 door makes it waaaaay too long. I would get a 2-door for sure but probably not 4. That gate turning into a little ramp is super cool - can't wait to see this at the LA auto show.

Exactly my thoughts and why I made the bed shorter on the renderings. I spent time measuring the CAD file and proportions and tried to mimic it as best as possible as I don't think the long bed is correct for all. Who knows, maybe we'll get two bed lengths?

It also looks like the covered truck in this image has a lift on it too. So maybe the height makes that bed look better like with the AEV Brutes

I'd love there to be 2 bed options. I'd be completely happy with a 48" or 54" bed length... this is a "lifestyle truck" for me and my only ask of a bed is that I can easily fit half a dozen sheets of plywood in it easily. (I'd gladly take a JKU sized truck with no rollbar behind the seats and a firm 49~50" width so I can fit real 4' wide things in there.)

Good point. I guess we will know for sure in 26 days. Hard to believe we are weeks away now.

FINALLY!!!! Now let's see if they can stick with the previously communicated plan of order banks opening in JANUARY and the trucks on dealer lots in APRIL...2019!!!
