I think we're more likely to see the "Bob" concept, a super short bed on a normal 4 door Gladiator. I think they'd actually sell a ton of those and it wouldn't require much work on their end. They already sell trucks with multiple bed lengths at Ram.

Count me in, OP.
I’m not really a truck guy, but if Jeep/Stellantis built that blue beauty you posted, I’d be in quicker than two shakes of a lambs tail!
Frankly, I always thought the old (1930?-1960?) 2dr trucks with the rear curved windows were always so cool.
I removed the rear seat from my JL on day one, so it’s actually my mini truck, but would trade my JL for the 2dr HT truck you posted.
cheers/B

As much as I would love if for the guys who want it, I’m pretty sure it’s a 0% chance. Single cab trucks don’t sell, pretty much at all.

This topic again? No, it wouldn't be financially viable for Jeep. Or any single cab truck manufacturer, that's why no one makes them.

What are most of the potential buyers buying instead..Wranglers or Gladiators. No new market share.

It'd be a beast offroad. But I'd prefer a 2 door with a longer wheelbase. Same proportions as it is now but with a longer wheelbase. I can just tow a small utility trailer if I need to haul stuff, and still have a bench to seat 2 more people without looking funny.

Meh. Make 'em sit in the bed or the trailer ;)

I would love to see a 2 door Gladiator with an extra cab. A little room in the cab would be great for small item hauling, backpacks, etc. 👍

If it looked like that custom build in Rhinebeck's post, I would immediately trade in my JLU.

Just like a 392 engine option it’s never going to happen. The pool of buyers would be too small to justify the development costs required to bring to production.

I love the idea of this! I am with others, though, in that it will likely never happen unless it's a custom job or one-off concept.

Maybe if Ford revives the Bronco truck project they canned, Jeep will add something like this to compete?
