Don't know how many here know but FCA has been developing a new midsize Ram pickup. It was spotted testing last year and looks significantly smaller than the 1500.
Maybe the bed length of this thing gives us a clue how long the JT Wrangler pickup bed might be?
I don't know if FCA cares as much about their products overlapping as we think they do. There was a midsize Ram truck spotted testing last year so they clearly don't mind having similar sized pickups from both Jeep and Ram.
The cost for converting the Wrangler to a pickup is already being spent so why limit sales. The pickup market is going strong so I would think FCA wants to make it a permanent part of the Jeep line up.
