I'm not trying to kill your dream of a 2-door. But the head designer and the marketing head are both in this interview saying it won't happen and it won't happen because that is just not where they see the market for this. Really great 30-minute in-depth interview btw.
Honestly if they didn't...
I don’t think we are anti-2 door. It’s just that Jeep has definitely said no. Might as well start a Hemi Gladiator thread or a Flying Gladiator thread.
Edit: Please don't start a Flying Gladiator poll.
I have the premium soft top on my JLU and if I am honest the sunrider feature is really great. It feels just as open as when the top is down and it take literally seconds to pop open or close.
It's funny but it just doesn't look like a convertible in that position so I prefer to take it all...
Exactly! Why would FCA come out with a vehicle that competes directly with the Dakota before it even comes out? That is just not what their vision of a Jeep Pickup is. No matter how much the people on this thread think Jeep should make work trucks for fleets FCA would rather make fewer active...

Perhaps. That's why I said "for what it's worth". But while I have seen them take an existing color and give it a new name, and maybe take an existing paint code and give it a new color, I have not seen them take an existing color and give it a new name AND a new paint code.
It may not be...
I can't help but wish they did a grill that was more a nod to the old gladiator and distinguished the truck more from the JLU.
They can call it whatever they want but it screams "Wrangler Truck" to me.
