Jeep Crew Chief Pickup Concept Unveiled, Will Lead the Way for Future Production Crew Cab Truck

View

The North American based Jeep carmaker released the other day their Crew Chief pickup truck concept, which will lead the way for the company`s first pickup truck.

The Jeep Crew Chief Concept is based on the Wrangler Unlimited military vehicle and is previewing the upcoming pickup.

It comes with a retro-inspired front fascia, rock rails on the truck, winch, a 4-inch lift kit, Dana 60 axles, as well as the 20-inch beadlock, alloy wheels with 40-inch NDT military rubbers.

Mark Allen, Head of Design at Jeep, has recently stated in an interview with Outside that the Crew Chief Concept “hints about what`s going on behind the scenes. There may be things you see on the Crew Chief that you might see on that truck.”

As aforementioned, this is the company`s first project as a pickup truck, with inspiration taken from the Wrangler Unlimited, meaning that the production model will come with a crew cab styling.

Surely, the same Allen said that the production model would come with serious modification as opposed to the concept`s design, like the stamped tailgate which will be dropped on the future series pickup. More details will be revealed somewhere towards the end of the year.
