Before we get to Chrysler's message, it have to be reported that Jeep didn't speak on or off the record about a Wrangler pickup at an '11 mannequin year product briefing Monday. Mike Connor reports that he spied what appeared to be a disguised Wrangler pickup truck close Woodward Avenue final weekend. Connor was able to see a badge for the probable sub-model name: Brute.
Contemplating the success of the Wrangler Limitless four-door product, it really is an straightforward bet that Chrysler-Fiat is working on the long-rumored Wrangler pickup for near-term production. The Infinite takes about 60 % of current Wrangler sales, and also a pickup is potentially incremental sales for the brand. A pickup ought to be ready for production by the first half of 2011.
The '11 Wrangler is 1 of two updated models that Jeep highlighted to show how it's spending money on mid-cycle updates, a technique that has been very effective over at crosstown rival Ford. For '11, the Patriot also gets a facelift, with chassis and noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) improvements, along with a better interior.
So does the '11 Compass, but Jeep didn't consist of it in this preview.
The Wrangler's facelift is mostly restricted to new sheetmetal, but since it really is a much extra loved Jeep, we'll commence with that. The top-of-the-range '11 Wrangler Unrestricted Sahara will come with a body-colored top replacing the black leading of previous models years. The Wrangler Limitless Sport retains the black-only top, though all '11 Unlimiteds get a redesigned "daylight opening" (DLO) with smaller D-pillars for a bigger rear window and rear side windows, making greater visibility. The tops often have been created of a composite material, making redesign easier and cheaper
