Canyon/Colorado is already about $3,500 cheaper than a base JK , and $7,000 cheaper than a JKU, the Nissan Frontier cheaper still, the Tacoma starting MSRP is $500 cheaper than the JK.
Now are you saying this JT is going to be cheaper than a JK Sport B let alone a JKU? Entry level for the JT...
Looks like two fuel filler flaps on the tarp w/ one on each side, perhaps extended tanks?
Also in photo #2, there doesn't appear to be the windshield handles as prominently as in the other mules, but could be the top down angle, but would think you could see something of them considering how...
All are wider than a wrangler and no longer have live axles and Wrangler like articulation.
And it means pre-set tyre size. Just introduces more limitations.
The JT doesn't need to be the JL, but it needs to be more than a Ranger or Colorado, because it will be WAY more expensive. Making it...
Yeah that's not really practical even for non-rock crawlers, but from the perspective of a Jeep it's not about doing what others do, and with the side of the tyres and the minimal space of the bed, I don't see it fitting well near the solid axle and requires relocation of the exhaust.
Most...
Well, I wouldn't mind the barn door / split rear tialgate of the Toro, but unless they put the spare alonside the truck box then they likely couldn't support a full-size tire on a half-door tailgate.
I would love to see a Ridgeline style multi-mode tailgate with swing-out & drop-down ability...
Not exactly, but partially. As you noted, the JK/JKU actually has higher available ratios than on the RAM with 3.73 & 4.10 options from the factory in addition to the base (efficient) 3.21 , and if you get the tow package on any JK it comes with at least the 3.73 ratio, but the max towing...
The Export Wranglers with tow package come with the Big Brake kits, so that's one aspect regarding the AUS vs USA.
However as I mentioned in the diesel/transmission thread, it's not the power of the Engine that's the limiting factor. When asked if the AEV Hemi conversion would improve towing...
Oh, I don't think the two are related. I think there will be the small Ram 'ute' and then the JT going after completely different markets. In fact I think they are overlapping the mid-size truck market at the fringes for segments not already served by the Ranger, Tacoma, Canyon, etc. but where...
It's just a Fiat Toro, aka the rumoured Ram 500.
You can see a lot of the similar features, it even retains the Fiat round badge front and centre, and tail lights if you rotate the image here;
