It sounds like the Bronco design/plans are not fully locked in yet if they are waiting on the JL. Will it be 2 and 4 door models? If you have an ear to anyone at Ford tell them the world wants a true Wrangler alternative and not just a tough looking Explorer.

They did a great job tucking the spare up as high as possible underneath the truck. One of the concerns with an undercarriage spare mount was that it would hang too low and kill departure angle. Not the case here. :like:

So "tow package" includes different engine. Same transmission?

Impressive # for a midsize pickup. WHat's in the towing package that almost doubles the Tacoma's towing capacity?

Ack that looks bad like a bad decision by Ford to use aluminum for the truck bed. A bedliner would probably prevent that kind of damage but those don't come standard on the F-150.

Well if it's any indication, they've pulled the current 2017 Grand Cherokee ecodiesel from the website. Ram 1500 still has it available for one model.

Welcome to JLWF. Always great to see a local (to me) vendor!

Welcome to JLWF. Great to see vendors interested early.

What's extended QC exactly? And does it affect whether the very early ones off the production line will have more or less issues than later ones?

Yea should be about that time frame. I wonder if it'll be full bore production from the beginning or will they scale up. If it's a gradual ramp up I could see the first few at each dealerships being hot ticket items ripe for dealer gouging :(

Too big. A Wrangler pickup would be small-medium truck that's got all the off road capabilities of the Wrangler baked into it.

Makes no sense to me to pick CES over Detroit to make a car related press reveal. How many automotive press and auto enthusiasts visit CES compared to Detroit? And why no chance to reveal the Wrangler at CES? Article suggests it could even be a vehicle.

Some sales cannibalizing will for sure happen. I can easily see there might be many who want a Jeep but figure hey why not add even more utility with a flatbed. This is assuming price isn't so different between the JT and JL/JLU of course.
