    Jeep Wrangler Pickup Pushed Back To 2019

      Expecting a Wrangler pickup by 2018? We have some bad news.

    One vehicle that we are currently excited to see is the new Jeep Wrangler pickup. We last heard production of this model would begin in 2018 at FCA's assembly plant in Toledo, OH. But production has been pushed back.

    Speaking with The Detroit News, Jeep head Mike Manley revealed the production of the Wrangler pickup has been pushed back till late 2019. No reason was given for this pushback. As we reported back in December, production of the Wrangler pickup would begin sometime after March 2018 - the month that production of the current Wrangler is expected to end.

    The Detroit News also says a name hasn't been chosen for the upcoming Wrangler pickup. If we may make a suggestion, Gladiator or Scrambler.

    Well, I wasn't expecting it until 2020 anyway.  Of all the vehicles they have, the Wrangler family is one they must simply get perfect. 

    So you just thought they were full of shet when they said march 2018?

    Well, yea.  They have been teasing various concepts for how many (I think about 17) years now.   I'll believe it when it's on dealer lots.

    More or less.  They are making the money of the current Wrangler, whose tooling has been paid of for a long time (Like Ford did with the Ranger, Panthers, and Fox cars), so I figured they would extend it's production as long as possible even beside the new one.   I also get the distinct feeling there is something about the new Wrangler they are a bit apprehensive about.  Be it the fact that it may have a bit of Aluminum in the body panels or possibly because the top will more than likely no longer be fully removeable as it is now.

    That's actually a really good point. Almost every Wrangler I see now has a hard top and while there are some in the summer months with the top off it really is not all that often. I hadn't thought of that.

    And for a while now the JK has had more demand that what they can actually produce.

      Reason # xxx  as to why I love hockey and the players   From the bruising hit that takes the opponent outside the rink and into the player's bench. To the player saying to his teammate to 'hit him' just before the hit happens. To that same player saying that he has got him by calling him chubby but helping him out of the bench area and back unto the ice to the player that got hit laughing it off and skating off to continue on playing as if it was just a minor inconvenience and finally to the athletic trainer just looking at the hit, the player that got hit and visually seeing on his face his thoughts: "yup dude, you just got plastered!" and casually puts the bench back to its place.  The sportsmanship from all sides is incredible. Love it!!!

      This is an interesting read. Korea is the only country with EVs that are head-to-head with China and in some ways better. This nanotube technology will allow Korea to move way farther forward than the U.S. in automotive options. Advances in carbon nanotube applications enhance battery dry process

      I got a better idea for Trump: Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state, Id prefer for the US to become Canada's 4rth Territory.  Not even province status. In order for the United Stated Territories of America to become a full blown province, Americans would have to prove their allegiance and loyalty to the Royalty of King Charles the Third since Canada is a Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy of the British Commonwealth realm.  Trump's job and title would be a perfect revival for an old tradition.  King Charles the Third's court jester. And we could throw him a bone...and have a playing card named after him since he likes those kinds of things
