MANILA: The brand Jeep has always been into limelight, having a wide range of auto-motives under its umbrella. In the recent past, the Jeep Wrangler off-roader was spotted at the South Western Desert, where it was noticeable that its official release may happen in the Year 2018. Now, Jeep has thrown a surprise package for its fanatics with the confirmation about the entry of Wrangler Pickup.

Prior to this, Wrangler was sited with the features of the next generation Pentastar V6 engine having attributes that could match the emission requirements in futuristic view. This model could be summarized into 3 words of; being Fuel Economic, Possessing Stronger Engine, and Lighter Body than an SUV. However, in the new model we would possibly expect another engine instead of Pentastar V6.

The Jeep Wrangler Pickup will create a new place for itself altogether, as Jeep hasn't produced pickup trucks from past 10 years. The last pickup that made some noise was Gladiator Concept in the year 2005, after which this pickup seems to be promising. Though, there haven't been any details disclosed, however we can speculate that it could be adorned with the feature of the trending aluminum body construction, powerful engine, and fuel efficiency.

This Wrangler Truck will see itself in the competition lane amidst the already existing studs i.e. Toyota Hilux, Nissan NP300 Navara and Mitsubishi Strada. However, these models possess lesser powered engines. Furthermore, we cannot underestimate the new prospective entrant Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCrew announced at the North American International Auto Show recently. Talking briefly about the Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCrew off-roader, it possesses an EcoBoost V6 Engine. Having sturdy yet light weight body with the competence to ride on the most rugged terrains and equipped with new Terrain Management System featuring six modes (Normal, Street, Weather, Mud and Sand).

The Global Chief Mike Manley at Jeep, mentioned an official statement vouching for the entry of the Jeep Wrangler in the year 2017. Additionally, he said that, "Sergio Marchionne (Fiat Chrysler CEO) and I work very, very closely on the Jeep product portfolio, and both of us have been a fan of a potential Wrangler pickup. For me, there is a historical place in our lineup for it."

We can conclude here that the pickup will probably be built with lightweight body construction, high performance with the ability to carry itself gracefully even on the rough and rugged terrains. So, we have two siblings coming on their way namely the new generation Wrangler and Wrangler Pickup 2017. Under which the Wrangler Pickup is expected to outsmart owing to its belongingness with the much awaited pickup truck category.
