Fiat Chrysler CEO says Toledo will lose Cherokee, keep Wrangler, add pickup

  • Sounds like another light utility pick-up will be on the market.


    I really wish another full size pick up would enter the market.

  • A 3/4 ton J20ish pickup would inspire me to take on a truck payment.


    Doubt that will happen anytime soon.


    Unless they rebadge the RAM chassis they would never sell enough to pay for the R&D to design/build a new platform.


    And would you buy a Dodge truck just because it said Jeep on the hood?

  • mmmm the J12 anybody?

  • Saddly "moved" doesnt equal "discontinued."



    The problem i have with all the recent concepts is the
    same. The Fc100, J12, Gladiator, and Chief are all based
    on the JKU which isnt strong or tough enough for real
    pickup work. I love my Mj, but still have my Ram for when
    i need to move something bigger than a set of tires. Ill
    warn you now itll be the same complaint ill have with the
    upcoming Grand Wagoneer too because it also looks to
    be built from Commander/JKU stock...



    As for the question of "would i want to drive a ram with a
    Jeep badge on it?"... now thats a question i need to thi...
    .... Yes! Absolutely! Take my money!... Build me a Power
    Wagon with a Honcho brand and not make it resemble
    the currebt abortion they call a cherokee and im in...
