Beautiful! It looks like the same basic hard top design, too.

That looks horrible. Looks like a ram rear end hacked onto a wrangler front end. The rear tires are almost touching the front of the wheel well. Looks like someone did some redneck engineering and is playing a prank on all of us.

It's obviously a hacked up mule for testing, that rear wheel location within the fender would never make production. But it does look like the future front end. I hope they sell a lot of them because we want Jeep to continue their success.

I've been anticipating a Jeep pickup like most, but I've realized seeing the loss of departure angle that my F-150 and JKUR are more fit for purpose and I'll probably keep them both as the best of both worlds rather than get a new Jeep pickup. But for lots who don't do things needing the departure angle it would be a good choice.

Hacked up mule for certain. Someone pointed out the large chuck of steel that they have ratched down in the back. This is probably a payload test which is pretty sweet.

Rear wheel base might be like that for the rear tire under the bed looks pretty close to the brute . It might look off because the longer front end

Hopefully they work on it a bit more! I like the idea and functionality of it, but not a fan of that look!
