What do you guys think? 
“Available with a 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, and can be optioned with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic. 30 inches of water fording, a towing capacity up to 7,650 pounds and a 1,600 payload capacity.”

This I like.
Modernized with extended cab.
Extended crew cab. This with a 7 foot bed would be perfection. Three bikes straight in with the tailgate shut!

I think it looks pretty cool. I had a JK a few years ago with the 3.6L v6 and 6spd manual, and it was pretty stout. I'll be in the market for a new truck in a year or so and i'll probably give it a look. FCA build quality is pretty shitty but for some reason the Jeeps tend to hold value pretty well.
That thing with the small diesel and manual trans would be perfect.

Looks like they kept with the JKU's rear doors and they don't look right.
I'm on the fence, it looks about as expected tho thats for sure. Will be curious how pricing is and how they look once they're lifted.
I suspect it'll be expensive enough where id rather have a Tacoma TRD instead.

I saw one being tested the other day by my place. It was under those stupid secrecy wraps, but I liked it.

Where do you get the H3 from? This abomination has a solid front axle, longer frame, and it's well a jeep.
I heard jeep trying to claim best in class towing and payload. Apparently jeep doesnt consider the colorado and ranger in their class.

I'm not a Ford guy but the new Ford Ranger Raptor looks pretty cool. That said it apparently won't be available in North America.
And one moto related.

I kinda dig it, more so if they offer it in a standard cab and 6 foot bed. The configuration pictured is mostly useless (if you're going big 4 door cab and tiny bed might as well just make it a full SUV).

What I really wish Jeep had sold in the US was a long wheelbase two door Wrangler. We saw it for just a few short years with the TJ Unlimited. They had a JK version similar to that built overseas, the J8, I want one:

Mav I just dont see the connection. Boxy small truck? Still pretty distinct differences between them.
The new rangers look good, steel bumpers, good ground clearance, and good towing/payload ratings. Only down side is the lack of engine options and no manual. Its rumored the new bronco is gonna have a 7 speed manual option. I hope it finds it's way into the ranger. A diesel engine and a 7' bed on the extended cab would be killer.

Jeep Gladiator + Hummer H3 = Similar styling.
I see the similarities. Other than that they have no connection. Well a part from both of them being ugly that is lol.
Edit: If it's not the styling maybe APLMAN99 can explain himself.

From the similar looks, obviously...……..

The Jeep and Hummer are similar enough that Jeep sued GM/Hummer over the looks, specifically the front grill.

Looks very aggressive! But I do not think this is a good choice for everyday driving. I am more of a SUV lover, like Hyundai Creta

Lol. Brokeback Mountain? Judging by the license plate alone I'd say it's not anywhere in North America.
Definite goon because I'm pretty certain that bike model comes with a kickstand.

ISIS marauders are drooling ... make that thing a diesel and they'll sell out in twenty minutes in the mid east. Might even out sell the Hilux Rocket Launcher...

KTM dude, you posting around here?
Truck looks promising but man it kills me they're only offering the midget bed. I like they made the bed shallow, and gave it a 2 position tailgate. Just needs more length. Extended cab with a 6'6" bed please.

I like the concept but the styling is terrible.
I am glad to see more options in the medium size trucks though. There is a huge market demand for folks who could use a truck but don't necessarily need a full size.

LOOK! We didn't put a real bed on it but we are going to attempt to do real bed stuff with it.
Nissan used to have a 7 foot bed on the Titans, the perfect short bed for moto.
