Oh, I know. I live in one of the most Jeep-populated states in the country. I easily see a dozen, if not more, Wranglers out and about every single day. But I'll be damned if I can remember the last time I saw a 2-door JK Sahara around southern Colorado. I know they're out there, but they're...
I'm not entirely surprised about the lack of a 2-door Sahara. I seriously can't think of the last time I've seen one on the road, but it's definitely been a long time.
This is a good thing, though. This much competition means more incentive to improve quality and longevity, offer better capability, and keep prices steady. The fact that Toyota has had the mid-size truck market to itself up until recently is why the Tacoma has remained comfortably overpriced...
Yeah, the JT isn't a full-size truck competitor, it's mid-size, and they're coming back with a vengeance. Toyota had it mostly to themselves for a while, but Chevy is looking to change that and so is Ford.
The Tacoma can pull up to 6,400lbs if it gets the tow package. And seeing as how virtually all V6 mid-size trucks average a towing capacity of 6-7k, the JT should at least match the competition.
If anything, I'd argue delays with the JT aren't simply engine this or management that. The JT has to be a completely a different vehicle than the JL. It can't just be a Wrangler with a bed slapped on the back. If it's going to be a true truck, it needs to have true truck capability and that...
