Three years ago, Jeep debuted its J-12 concept model to a wowed crowd at the 2012 Moab Easter Jeep Safari. This pickup concept spiked the interest of many Jeep enthusiasts, who have been wanting to see a mass-produced truck model from the automaker for years. But since then, Jeep has made little noise about creating a pickup. That is until this year's Moab Easter Safari when Jeep unveiled its latest concept, the Red Rock Responder, which once again ignited interest in the possibility of a new Jeep pickup.
A lot of changes and updates are coming to Jeep's lineup in the next five years. The automaker has been teasing the release of several new and redesigned models, including the Jeep Renegade and a redesigned version of the Jeep Wrangler that’s set to come out in 2017.
The last mass-produced Jeep pickup was the Jeep Comanche, which ran between 1986 - 1992. Since then the public has been craving a Jeep pickup, which would blend the many popular aspects of the Jeep brand with the payload capacity of a brawny hauler.
There's no word yet on if - or when - a Jeep pickup may begin production. But keep your fingers crossed that the automaker will add this fantastic new model to its lineup in the coming years.
