    Looks goofy. I like the old jeep trucks.. like the one in the movie Twister. Quick google search tells me it was a 1982 Jeep J-10 Honcho.

    I'm sure the pricing would be predictable based on the pricing of the wrangler and what the competition is charging for their trucks.

    The reason the Jeep Comanche truck was dropped after Chrysler bought AMC-Jeep was they already had the Dodge Dakota, and it didn't make sense having two pickups. I think the same logic applies to why no J-10 or J-20 full size Jeep trucks were re-started into production... I always liked seeing Jeep pickups on the road... and if they make them again, it will give us in Tacomas more stuck or broken things to pull out!

    I want it because it looks cool, but is it practical...........I'm not sure I need specs. Is it an H3? Different makes yes, but will it get low fuel mileage, be insanely capable off road, but have little to no practicality in day to day travel? Idk I like my taco.

    Then Toyota's answer can be an FJ style pickup. What a head to head match up that would be....:rolleyes:
