Theories on the Next Jeep Wrangler

Posted on July 3, 2015 by baysideadmin

Jeep is currently hard at work not only getting Wranglers out the factory door to the buyers, but also on getting ready to give the Wrangler a new design. While nothing has been shown to hint at what to expect from this, that hasn’t stopped anyone from trying to piece together ideas from what we already know. One such writer for Four Wheeler did just that and has some evidence to back up his thoughts.

One of the bigger Jeep events is the Moab Easter Safari. As it is with the rest, this year’s had Jeep bring along a number of concept Jeeps to show off to their fans. This year’s models were of all shapes and sizes. While there was nothing there to hint at what a Wrangler update would be, Fred Williams has a theory.

“Take it with a grain of salt. Jeep will build the next Wrangler with four eventual body styles, not just two: a lightweight two-door, a four-door Unlimited, a pickup truck, and a Wagoneer.”

Where is this idea coming from? It’s based on thinking of what the future holds due to new emission and mileage standards. Jeep is going to have a rougher road ahead than most to keep up with the regulations. “However, the 2013 Moab saw a super-lightweight concept known as Stich with a fabric body and slim trim lightened parts. This is a hint to a future lightweight Jeep two-door in order to meet stringent standards based on footprint.”

Check out the rest of the article to see his full thoughts. It is hard not to agree that Jeep will have to jump through numerous hoops to get the new Wrangler around harder regulations. What do you want to see in the next Wrangler?

But Jeeps are most notable for their ability to off-road, That is what many fans will say is the marking of a true Jeep. The Renegade, despite its smaller size, is still quite capable at hanging with the other Jeeps.

The Master Herald breaks down the information on the Renegade Trailhawk, showing its prowess off-road. Referencing Ezra Dyer of Yahoo Autos drive of the Trailhawk through Uwharrie National Forest in North Carolina, they show that the Renegade managed to impress the writer.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer Will be Shown to Dealerships Later This Year

Posted on June 9, 2015 by baysideadmin

Fiat-Chrysler is planning a treat for their upcoming Las Vegas showcase event. They will be finally giving a peek at the new 2018 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. This will be the first time the new Jeep is shown off to the public, or the reps for dealerships that attend that is.

The Grand Wagoneer is being brought back to life on the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee platform. It will be part of Jeep’s plan to mount a proper competitor to the Range Rover with a high-end SUV. The new Grand Wagoneer is planned as a three-row off-roader.

The news that the Grand Wagoneer was being revived was announced last year at a presentation to investors. The Grand Wagoneer has not been around since the 90’s and for many, this news was very exciting. The old Jeep was most notable for its wood paneling side and there is no word yet on if the new model will carry a similar look to it or not.

This is certainly exciting news for dealers to send out someone to take a look at what Jeep is planning for the future. No word on when the rest of the public will be made privy to seeing what it looks like. All we can do is hope that it is soon.
