Jeep CEO, Mike Manly, has stated that he’s a big advocate for a Wrangler-based bakkie.

This is fantastic news, as we’ve been craving a Wrangler bakkie ever since Jeep first revealed the concept car a few years ago.

Unfortunately Manly has also stated that he doesn’t want to go head-to-head with Jeep’s sister company, Dodge, and that developing a Wrangler bakkie would cost a lot of money.

While we might still see such a vehicle in the future, it seems to still be a long way away.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
