Jeep Pickup Delayed to 2019

Bella Stiles — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 21:48:51 +0000

Yet to be named, the Wrangler based pickup from Jeep is set for production debut in 2019. Like the current F-150 from Ford, it’s rumored to make greater body use of strengthened aluminum. An optional 300 hp 4 cylinder turbo is also rumored for improved fuel economy. Jeep vacated the pickup market with the conclusion of the Jeep Comanche in 1992.

2013 Wrangler Moab Edition

Vegas Dave — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 07:56:16 +0000

Making its debut at Easter Jeep Safari in its mountainous name sake venue, Jeep’s Moab Edition blends the luxury of the Sahara Wrangler with the ruggedness of the Rubicon.

In addition to the upgraded Sahara ride and interior, the Moab sports these added goodies

Interior

Premium leather
Distinctive stitching
Newly designed seats
Grab bars (for those “oh shoot moments”)
Mopar slush mats
Interior Moab badging

Exterior

Custom bumper for improved approach and departure angles
Rock sliders (body armor)
Power bulge hood
Rear tail light guards
Black Mopar fuel filler door
Exterior Moab badging
2013 Rubicon Rims in black

Under the Hood

Relocated (higher) alternator, and reversed
Improved belt routing to avoid mud and water
Dana 44 with selectable rear locker

The custom bumpers not only gives the Moab a sharp integrated look and offer far better protection than the stock ones, the front is also ready to accept a standard winch. Other noteworthy items, the Moad rides on Goodyear SilentArmor 245/75R17 (31×9.6) tires. These are a little smaller than the Sahara’s 255/70R18 and Rubicon 255/75R17 meats (32×10). It’s not much difference but perhaps might give the Moab a smidge more torque.

Much of the rest of the Moab is same with Sahara, 285 HP Penta Star motor, 2.72 transfer case, Saharara drive train and standard 3.73 ring and pinion (an option on the Sahara, again a plus for torque and perhaps just where it’s needed).

Compared with the Sahara, the Moad fairs very well even in the comfort and luxury areas. Against the Rubicon, some wheelers will start picking at the differences as did staff at FourWheeler Magazine . Nonetheless they saw the Moad as a great offroad platform and in the end gave it a solid endorsement and awarded it 4×4 of the year.

Two and four door versions are available and should be hitting dealers this month.
