Yea Nacho has say color code (PY5) as Dozer. I don't mind the name, it's unique and easy to remember :) For anyone who doesn't remember what Dozer looked like.

According to the main compilation info thread order banks won't open until Oct-Nov at earliest. No dealer can place an order until order bank opens. http://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/2018-jeep-wrangler-jl-jlu-and-2019-pickup-jt-info-compilation.21/

Don't think we got much to worry about in terms of competition :facepalm:

The ones where you can see the fenders are really just JK test mules. I know the one showing the manual shifter had painted fenders and nav screen so that's a Sahara but again it's just a JK. There was definitely a prototype that was completely covered in camo (including fenders) showing Rubicon...

Pretty much expected but good to have confirmation. That debunks the speculation that it would be based on the Ram platform which was probably just due to the spy photos showing a Ram sized truck/Ram bed.

@Emoto has it right, the ZF 8 speed simply doesn't fit the JK. It's going to blow away the current 5 speed.

Darn, got all excited. I thought that was only sold in certain countries. What's it doing here?

I've read around that sources said the JT won't be cheap. They have it pegged at starting over $30k which means most of them we see on dealer lots will be >$35k sticker. Question is gonna be how many people are willing to pay $35-40k for a midsize pickup truck.

This directly contradicts some of the info that everyone has been told or come to believe from inside sources. Just a few days ago they said probably second half of 2017 and all of the order info we have says it will go on sale in Fall/Winter 2017.

2019 JK? Thought the JK/JL would overlap by months or at most a whole model year. Am I missing something?

I dunno... seems really early to debut such a car then - for a model that's more than a year away. And are they really going to make the first ever JL model revealed a hybrid model?! I'd be shocked.

Probably don't want to shoot themselves in the foot early since the JK is still being built and even after the JL debuts. Then they better release EVERYTHING at the reveal, the full specs, pricing etc.

The Toledo plant employee said that?

Might as well wait at this point on any potential JKU purchase. The JL/JLU is rumored to be debuting in just a couple of months at the Detroit auto show. That way you can make an informed decision between the JLU and JKU. And if you decide on the JKU at that point, dealers might be even more...

I dig the style shown here but based on the JT mule (which looks like a borrowed Ram bed) I think they are aiming for at least ~5' bed proportions. Even the Renegade based Comanche bed was 5 feet. I know it's more a styling exercise but the one shown in the green pickup would be practically useless.
