Default New Model - Larger version of the JK

Just wondering if there's anyone out there who would like to see a new Jeep Model.

I'm sure this isn't an original idea but I would love to see a new model based on the JK look but wider and longer with available V8.

Seems like there would be a market for this vehicle particularly since Hummer has bit the dust.

I know I'd buy one!!!

I've tried to find an email address so that I could submit the idea to Jeep design team but I've had no luck

I love my JK!!!!

Default How about a Jeep pickup truck ???

Personally, I'd like to see a full-size Jeep pickup truck. Maybe with the widened nose of the Commander or Grand Cherokee, and maybe on a Ram frame.

2 door with extended wheel base, D60s, hemi/diesel. I'd be happy...

Park a JK beside any older Jeep and you see how much it's grown in size. Frankly, I don't want larger. Yes, I want a hemi, but larger is not in the cards--not for me, and I seriously doubt, not for Chrysler. Sorry to burst your bubble, folks. Now, a pick-up version on the current four door frame (can anyone spell Brute?) is a definite contender.

I agree, the current size is fine it just needs some more power out of the box or at least some options to have it.

I'd like to see diesel come to North America and following that a diesel conversion...because I have too much time and $ tied up in my rig to want to start fresh.

I take it that for those who want to see a wider Jeep that they don't spend much time off road. I can barely make it through some places.

Bigger is not going to happen, that's not the way things are going no matter how bad anyone wants it. Smaller and better fuel economy is priority amongst car makers nowadays. Personally I'd just like to see some more power out of the engine other than that I'm very happy with the overall size of the JK.
