The clicks pay the bills. The more controversy, the more clicks. Plus, I suspect there are several users addicted to their phones by how quickly some respond with their 2 cents regardless if its productive or credible. There are also several that appear to be highly entertained by the V8...

I didn't get that the Scrambler would have a lower roof height from his statement "a very low beltline and a high greenhouse, right?" This sounds like the opposite of what Ford did with the Bronco, which has a high belt line and compressed roof compared to the JL Wrangler.

CAFE regulations. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2012/10/how-cafe-killed-compact-trucks-and-station-wagons/

Ford produces the Ranger Superduty for the Australian market similar to this in three cab configurations but with a much more robust chassis and driveline. It would make an ideal overland rig here in the states.

I'm sure they'll be pulling a trailer down to Daytona.

Good eye. It's definitely an AI generated photo.

Could be similar to the partnership Jeep had with AEV during the JK era when AEV offered 5.7 or 6.4 in the Wrangler conversions which later led to the DC Brute.

I would buy the next gen wrangler with ifs. Then immediately design, engineer, build and market Skips Sasswap package for the new Wrangler.

Jeep produced the J8 version of the JK for military use and the mining industry which had the larger rear differential and rear leaf springs for increased payload and durability. Interestingly, Ford recently introduced the Ranger Heavy Duty in Australia. It to has rear leaf springs for...

And a #2 pencil.

Jeep had AEV install V8's in the JK Wranglers and double cab Brutes so I could see that happening again with AMW.

https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2012/10/how-cafe-killed-compact-trucks-and-station-wagons/ This is an older article but it does a pretty good job of why U.S. auto manufacturers no longer produce compact pickup trucks and station wagons. One can add sedans to the death list as well.

It's all a matter of perspective. My TJ suited my use case very well. I admit, some of my wish to have my TJ back is nostalgic. Lots of great memories wheelin with my kids when they were just little snots but that little Jeep was tough and not one issue with it during six years of ownership...

On the trail yes, on the road no. Wish I still owned my '04 TJR.

Please keep the manual parking brake, the manual shift transfer case, and keep the belt line low. One reason I didn't buy the Bronco was because of the high belt line which makes it uncomfortable to cruise down the trail with your arm resting on the door. Also, the rear view is severely...

More Jeep history please.

It depends, if one looks at it from a CAFE point of view. Jeep introduced the long wheelbase pickup to aid in meeting specific fuel economy requirements as its easier to satisfy having a fleet of larger ICE vehicles than it is having a fleet of smaller ICE vehicles. It is also the reason they...

I thought about bidding on it but did not want the V8 and assumed it would go for much more than it did. I watched the auction curiously to see how it would be presented by the commentators but it was skipped over for a commercial break where I live so from my perspective it was as if it didn't...
