It's hardly a Wrangler - VERY different vehicle! There was a news item about it on the front page of the TDR in January. You can read that here - https://www.turbodieselregister.com/news/archive.php - scroll down near the bottom of the page.

That was my first impression too. Its hardly a wrangler, more like something to compete with the Hummer. Looks like it would be quite a ride though. If they go into production I'll have to convince my wife she needs it to replace her Explorer. Of course I'll have to test the shocks on weekends

I wonder what price range it will be in, H1 or H2? Bill

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

The number I saw somewhere was in the $100k range - don't remember where though.

Thought it was on a modified Durango chassis... .

I believe the frame is very similar the the hydroformed unit currnetly in the 2500 pickups.

It is... and it is listed to have the same axles as the 3rd gens PLUS the 6spd transmission. Basically it's a shorter wheelbase 2500 ram with a jeep body on it.
