I have seen a commander pkup prototype but not that one..looks like a 2 door

I assume they will offer 2 and 4 door models aimed at different consumer markets.

Standard equipment on the urban commando model

Didn't we just have April fools? Coasty

LOL ! Thanks Billy

Looks like a halfway decent Ford...

I've got nothing against Fords, second best car I ever had was a Ford (best is my Cherokee), but if I want a Ford I'll buy one.

Fords are Fords, Jeeps are Jeeps, both are useful but hardly interchangeable.

Jeep needs to build a Jeep pickup that looks like a JEEP! Something that looks like a long wheelbase, steel cab Wrangler would be just great.

Robb,

I took no offense, and I'm no fan of DC either, far from it and I'll never forgive them for what they did after they bought AMC. I bought a Jeep, not a DC, I would have bought it if Jeep was still owned by AMC, or Ford, GM or even Crosley . (However if the Chinese bought them that would be something else again).

I've heard some bad stories, but this Cherokee is my second Jeep. First one was a Comanche, great little truck, one water pump and one alternator in 120,000 miles when an old man in a minivan totaled it. I replaced it with my little 2 door Cherokee, I drove the snot out of it for 300,000 miles, put in one water pump, one alternator and a clutch (throwout bearing went out at 280,000 miles). Finally at 300,000 a rod bearing started knocking and now it's in getting a new engine.

You can't ask for better service than that.
