It's the final design for a possible 2012 Gladiator. It's based on the very well received Gladiator concept from 2005. It's a light duty pick up built on the 4 door JK platform, but obviously with the 2 rear doors bring replaced by a small extended cab and a truck bed. The final design was shown to Chrysler dealers in September of this year and it was very well received, again. The spare tire is set on the outside of bed to "call back" to older model trucks (50's and prior) design cues. If, and it's a BIG if, it does hit production, it would be in late 2011 and would most likely use the current Grand Cherokee's 2" air lift system, as well as Chrysler 3.6 V6 engine.

Rumors are with Fiat backing us instead of the stiff and boring Germans, this thing has a chance of seeing production. And if so, I will be trading in both my Neon and XJ for it, in that color.
