2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Truck... Tacoma Killer?

It's ugly but it's got two axles. Will it kill off the third gen Tacoma?

Ugly AF. I'm sure the Jeep and Ranger will both eat into Taco sells, but I doubt either will kill it (or claim the throne). Not for a while anyway...need to acquire the enthusiasts and aftermarket parts.

 

I think that Jeep will nail the styling. But I would not buy another Jeep, no matter how cool it looks.

 

Garbage, absolutely not. That model won't last but a few years.

 

Not to mention its probably going to have a 3500lb tow rating

 

I actually think it'll look decent when uncovered. The Brute double cabs from AEV are filthy and this won't be too far off. Lifted on 35s or better yet 37x13.5s they will be killer. I'll keep my Tacoma but I'm glad Jeep is going to offer it.

 

whoa, a 6-0 lead in the first minute of the game...

 

No way. A huge portion of people who buy tacomas will never off road them, therefore a solid front axle is unnecessary. They'll likely stick with the Tacoma because it won't ride like shit. I speak from experience because my wife had a '15 JK bone stock and it rode ROUGH.

Also I like cheesecake.

 

Only thing to kill a 3rd gen Taco will be a 4th Gen Taco.

The Jeep truck, new Ranger, GM twins, Nissan and Honda will never kill the Tacoma, they all just provide welcome competition.

 

I might buy one if they ever make it to production. Jeep has been teasing that truck for years. Much like the new Ford Bronco that was supposed to be out like 3 years ago now

 

I'd have to see the production version before voting

 

Theres no way it cracks the 20 mpg mark, which is basically a requirement for midsized trucks now.

 

Typical fanboi thread full of fanboi responses

 

What is this some kind of brand enthusiast forum? Oh, wait...

 

It'll fly off the showrooms at or close to MSRP like every other wrangler variant...

 

you would probably have better responses if this was posted in the jeep forum.
i had a jeep for 5 years but the problems and gas milage offset any fun i had.

 

I voted my current Tacoma ftw!
But if they would give Dwayne Johnson a free one, along with stock in the company to promote it, that would be a game changer and would keell and leave all of us dead in the water…Just saying

 

Well, at least you're just sayin. Just sayin.
