Well, that's a great question.
And at this point, nobody is really very sure.
Originally, market gossip suggested that there would be a Jeep pickup truck available to drivers in areas like Fort Payne, Gadsden, Chattanooga, Huntsville, and Birmingham, AL as early as this year, making it a 2018 model-year.
But now Mike Manley, head of the Jeep brand division, is saying that production for this all-new Jeep-badged pickup truck won't begin until late 2019.
What will the Jeep brand's talked-about pickup truck look like? We're not sure about that either, but we can look to concept vehicles that were built last year and trotted out at the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
This will be the Jeep brand's first pickup truck in more than 25 years.
As part of the Jeep brand's goal to expand their product lineup, the Jeep Pickup Truck will be just one of, hopefully, a few brand-new additions to the future model selection.
Other potential additions include the Jeep Wagoneer SUV and Jeep Grand Wagoneer SUV, to help this brand stay competitive in the large sport utility vehicle market.
