Are you pick up truck what I’m putting down? Wrangler based pickup truck confirmed?!

Sergio Marchionne confirmed yesterday that a Wrangler Pickup truck is indeed in the works. We’ve heard the boss man make comments like this before, but the confirmation via FCA’s social accounts gives it a bit more credibility than before. Jeep has been teasing us for years with awesome one offs, and with the actual thing reportedly debuting by the end of 2017; let’s recap the recent concepts.

2016 Jeep Wrangler Black Bear Sighting

The 2016 Wranglers have started hitting dealers and I was lucky enough to catch a pair of Black Bears today.  The Black Bear features a topographical map of Colorado’s Black Bear trail as well as “Wrangler” side hood decals.  Rubicon rock rails, tail light guards and a flat black grille are standard on the newest special edition Wrangler.  I still think the Willy’s is a better package overall, but the Black Bear’s map and optional color match top are pretty cool.

Firecracker Wrangler: legal in all 50 states

I spent a good part of the weekend going through thousands of pictures, and hours upon hours of video in an attempt to clean up and reorganize my laptop and hard drives.  I was successful, but also realized that I never posted the pictures of the Firecracker Red JKs I’ve spotted over the last few months.  I found two unlimited Sports, and a 2 door Willys – still huniting for a color match top.
