Jeep Pickup On The Way

Earlier this week Mike Manley, Jeep CEO, introduced a concept Jeep-pickup truck to dealers in Orlando during the 2010 Chrysler Group Dealer Announcement Show. Since then the rumor mill has been going crazy.

Rumors have it that the new pickup will be based on the four-door Jeep Wrangler, and will probably look a lot like the Jeep Gladiator Concept that was unveiled during the 2005 Detroit Auto Show. That concept truck came with a 2.8 liter diesel-hope the production truck (if it goes into production) comes the same way.

Some are reporting that we will see a production Jeep Pickup by the third quarter of 2011. If it really happens that will be great. We haven't had a Jeep pickup for a long time.

Needless to say, the folks at Chrysler aren't saying anything about the Jeep Pickup one way or the other right now.
