J2010 Jeep Truck


There is no doubt that the Dodge Power Wagon is the most capable fullsize truck ever offered. Problem is, why is it not a Jeep vehicle that holds this title? Well, it appears the powers that be at Chrysler are asking themselves the same question. The likelihood of a fullsize Jeep truck may be closer to becoming a reality.

Word is the new FSJ could be based on the Power Wagon chassis. That means a real frame, solid axles, front and rear lockers, a winch, electric swaybar disconnect, tuned suspension, and a V-8!!! No word on how soon this could come to fruition but J-2010 sounds good to us!

2. ...and here I thought I'd never buy a new truck. Jeep may prove me wrong. God, I hope so!

5. CRAP! I can't get the links to work! And I can't delete those either. Its cool looking though even if its not official.

6. I can only open one of 'em. I'll assume MrTinkerjeep is cool with me posting it up. Please let me know if this is not the case....Did you just draw it now? Nice Work!

7. Yeah, I'm cool with you posting it! That's why I posted the link! And I originally drew it in 2003 when the "new" Jeep "Gladiator" (basically just a TJ with a bed) concept was being shown around - I thought it was lame. So I drew my own toony concept. I just added a bit of color and renamed it after your "J-2010" moniker. Enjoy.

8. None of the links worked for me... so I killed the second and third try.

I like how you have the lights "tucked up" into the hood line, kind of like the Magnum or Charger.

9. GM is closing full size truck/suv plants. With gas high as it is and no end in sight who really thinks that they are going to build a big heavy full frame v8 pick up truck. Having said that.... I want one.

10. Before anyone gets smart, I know that Jeep isn't GM. I am just saying that full size cuts are everywhere right now.
