I'm sure it's to throw everyone off from the final design. I bet the bed and cab are there just to test the drivetrain

It would be neat for the guy that's into small/mid size pick ups. Finally something to compete with the Toyota Tacoma. Personally I'd never buy it. If I was in the market for a Jeep only then it's a maybe.
For a truck it's just too light and small.
I do dig the concept. For the mtn biker or outdoorsman that can chuck his stuff in the back and get to remote areas.
And much like in the past. I'll believe when I actually see it at the dealership.

Because there are so many other options for a truck out there. I would rather buy a Toyota if I wanted a truck. The only advantage that I can see if the cab over frame design of a Jeep truck, but is that even an advantage? I can get a whole bunch of other trucks like this.
This is almost like FCA trying to fill the gap that was left by the Land Rover Defender. When I rode in one of those, I was impressed with its off road capability and then room in the back. I just simply open a door and in goes the mountain bike, surf board, trail maintenance tools, etc.
Am I missing something? Is there any benefit to a Jeep truck over any other truck?

I think what your missing is the Jeep enthusiast aspect of it. I haven't owned anything other than a jeep for the last 16 years with the exception of the '04 Cobra I bought in '05. There's people out there who don't care about what trucks Toyota has to offer, or what and other brand has to offer. If Jeep builds a Wrangler based truck, there is a following of Jeep fanatics/loyalists that will want it.

Keep saying that I wouldn't trade Acme in for anything... I might reconsider if this actually happens!

I'm not much of a fan of foreign 4wd's...much less foreign trucks.
A well-built, mid-size Jeep truck would be fantastic...especially if taking the top and/or doors off was a reality. If I was constantly (or ever) towing something heavy then sure, a full-size truck with a big V-8 would be in my stable. I don't, so it isn't. If they actually put to market a rag top resembling something like the Crew Chief 716, I'd be first in line to trade in my JKU. If the new truck is just a brute, it will sell like hotcakes but I will keep what I have.

OK, I'm in. I LOVE my Comanche for hauling gravel for my driveway, firewood, and other stuff (being polite here) to and from our digs, but I've always wanted another set of wheels to hit the moderate/challenging trails and still do time on the highways (ugh!) to Arizona and Moab. Oh Baby, Oh Baby, THIS IS IT!
