Jeep Pickup (JT) Spied With Production-Intent Bed!

It looks like that due to the angle of the photo, the hood/front body panels having angles like it does, and the front fenders are wider than the back fenders, the latter two being just like the JKs. Look at the tires in relation to the centerline of the road and there is no difference.

 

Looking great. This thing is going to be so popular.

But if anyone's gonna be trailing or crawling the JT, it's gonna need a substantial lift to improve the departure angle.

 

Really wonder where the spare is going to go?

 

My guess is under the bed like most pick ups. I would assume the after market will offer other options of spare tire carriers like this:

 

That's a pretty long vehicle

 

I bet it's dimensions will be comparable to a Toyota Tacoma. A crew cab Tacoma has a 127" wheelbase is 212" long and has a 5' bed.

 

I think it looks just about right. Any shorter and the bed wouldn't be very useful.

 

I'm really looking forward to this next Jeep JL purchase.

There is so much that can be done with that rear end... I'm thinking possibilities like an overlanding set up...





or something as simple as...

 

The front axle does in fact look wider than the rear axle, similar to what GM did on some of it's pickups back in the 1990s.

Appears to be a full 5' bed to match what's offered by Nissan and Toyota so that's great.

 

Looks like there's lateral bars or structure of some kind under the bed camouflage cover. Wonder if that's part of the camo covering or something in the bed itself?

 

Pickups often have wider front axles and narrower rear axles. Because pickups are long, having the front track wider than the rear improves turning radius.

 

Agree with others that it's a deal breaker if the top doesn't fully come (roof AND rear window). Otherwise I'll be forced to go with the JLU- but really want the 4 door JT

 

In this pic you can make out under the camo what looks like the same freedom top as on the JL/JLU? Which would mean it's fully removable.

 

It's likely not the same, as it's the length of the JK/JL top, but the rear piece is unlikely to to have a flip-up rear window.

I think it's likely still removable, but also likely incorporates something different and more secure in that rear section, including possibly a cross-beam which would make it more ridgid for driving and storage.

But... could easily also be fixed rear section with just removable front panels, which I think is less likely than removeable.

 

Looks like the body/bed would be angle cut to accommodate the rear fender.

 

Good eye. From this photo it looks like you're exactly right.



Makes it look much more unique and aggressive with that cut line IMO and less like just a JLU with a bed attached.

 

Would be a shame if they couldn't deliver a JT with fully removable top and rear window considering the AEV Brutes were able to go fully top/windowless. This thing is bada$$ and my want is high

 

I'm thinking no way the JT doesn't get fully removable top since we now know the JL/JLU have it. If that's part of the essence of what a Wrangler is, then would make sense that the Wrangler pickup also gets it.

 

Interesting, hadn't thought of that reason for the difference in front and rear track width. The JK has matching front and rear 61.9" track width so I guess Jeep didn't feel it was long enough that it needed help with turning radius.

 

I like the angle cut better then the straight cut that the AEV Brute has. Who made this truck?
