Hummmmm, I could live with a Gladiator. Of course, I would have to shrink our 5th wheel trailer somewhat.

 

I really hope they push the Gladiator/JT into U.S. production...I think the AEV kit for the TJs is so bad-ass...a similar setup with the JK would sell REALLY well, methinks.

they have....unfortunately they've only had one idea in this millenium. it's called "rectangle with high beltline and chopped windows."

over, and over, and over, and over.............

 

I don't like the JT...the Gladiator, on the other hand, would be my first pickup truck in a New York minute...I really like that Jeep...the Hummer concept is a close second...whoever comes out with a pickup first will get my dinero...btw, I like the higher beltline of the JK...goes well with the taller, longer, and wider stance...

 

Do you really see that much difference? It's basically the same body.

 

I like the JT, but it definitely looks like what it is, a converted Unlimited. The Gladiator concept definitely looks much more sorted out IMO. The extra 20"+ of wheelbase makes a difference. As always, it's all subjective though.

 

Here is the Jeep JT in a hole . . .

 

coming out . . .

 

That JT has a panel behind the driver/passenger seat and a removal top and that is the only real difference in it an the unlimited except it is a 2dr. So apparently they did it using a 2dr jk body and adding the quarters from an unlimited and top.

Crappler needs to market a wrangler based pickup. I think they are afraid they will sell some units.

Hell, I would not have paid any attention to the new JK platform if I had not seen the concept trucks. I got my jk because I didn't want to wait for Crappler Corp to circle jerk for 5 years and come out with some unibody POS.

Because they work for GM (Garbage Motors). Look how long it took them to respond to the PT cruiser, granted they did a better job. But then the PT was on a neon platform.

 

i did a whole spread on this already lol here's the link, i even email Chrysler about it, it's all in here:
