Jeep JT Wrangler Ute J8
The JT Wrangler is only a prototype at this stageShock Oh horror I thought the old Suzuki Mihindra ute 1 litre ute finding some steroids is back But no, Its a prototype that probably excites the USA more than Australia, Its the Jeep JT utility. Like any 4x4 ute this will be great for work and I mean hard work with the ability to be a fun off roader on the weekend .. The motocross boys will love this package.. Jeep is a brand not to be sneezed at, its wrangler is the best known off road vehicle in the world and on brand only, sales will be created. Just like the 2 and four door wrangler, it attracts a certain market that is usually keen to dispose of their income. Based on the J8 WranglerThis JT Wrangler ute is a one off at this stage based on the J8 Egyptian military vehicle built for the government. Its based on the JK body and is basically a four door limited. The wheelbase is 116 in and its been said that this unit already has most parts in the jeep inventory. The underlining meaning here could see this in production quickly if given the nod. This prototype featured the following:
Obviously colours will vary the budgie beige as per the photo does not do it justice. Unfortunately it just brings back like I mentioned of the Suzuki 1 litre ute from the late eighties. Remember IT? It was made in India had a one litre engine , a great unbreakable 4 speed gearbox and punishment proof vinyl seats. The hard working farmers of the day bought this vehicle and probably to this day some are still seen in the dim twilight hours in the sheds and pastures of our great team of primary producers in Australia. If this vehicle comes along maybe this market may not support this vehicle , Cost will be high, fuel usage will be fairly high , and not forgetting its not diesel. So maybe Jeep in Australia will have to consider who will actually buy this unit. If any company can pull it off the guys at Chrysler Jeep will they are always up for a challenge Update AustraliaIt has also been reported in Australia that the J8 will have a turbo charged 2.8 ltre producing 118 kw and 400 Nm of torque. The great news is payload of 1250 kg and towing capacity of 3500 kg. Also the Jeep j8 will utilise a Dana 60 rear axle and command trac four wheel drive system. Again it has been reported that it is not yet ready for Chrysler dealership delivery and the manufacture for non civilian use will be in Cairo Egypt.
