Definitely not different or new, but just a modern version of the trucks they made back in 1962-1988. They will sell well among the Jeep fanatics, but really cannot compete with the existing midsize pickup market.

Can’t help it. This is what I imagine when someone brings up the scrambler.

This^^^

They will sell a boatload of them to Wrangler fanatics and draw in others looking for an "image enhancement" vehicle.

It will be interesting to see how much other market penetration they are able to achieve tho because a majority of midsized truck purchases are discretionary as it is.

This truck may capture more buyers than you are imagining but time will tell.

Jeeps and trucks litter suburbia. Kill two birds with this.

The link sounded like a Jeep commercial.

Once the novelty wears off and all of the Jeep fanatics trade in their Wranglers. Sales will sink.

The AMC Pacer was one of those that sold well in the beginning. Then sales tanked.

This Jeep pickup truck is just too expensive for the ordinary guy/gal that just wants a small pickup truck.
