Industry sources have told us that production of the Jeep pickup is expected to start in the third quarter of 2011, with the pickup badged as a 2012 model. It’s said to be based on the four-door Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited platform but with a two-door regular cab configuration with extra space behind the front seats for storage.
Jeep hasn't offered a pickup for sale to consumers in North America since the 1992 Jeep Comanche ended production. It appears there is a strong enough demand for a Jeep pickup truck. Considering the rugged capability behind the Jeep name, slapping a truck bed on the back of one seems like a natural fit. As if the new 2011 Grand Cherokee wasn't buzzworthy enough, this pickup is sure to rattle the cages. Jeep - keep on trucking.
