These are the best shots yet of the ’19 Jeep Wrangler pickup testing on public roads.  

The return of the Jeep pickup has long been rumored, and these up-close shots hint at what it will look like. It’s expected to be based on the long-wheelbase Wrangler Unlimited platform, with similar front-end styling and traditional Jeep styling toward the rear. Expect a size similar to a Chevrolet Colorado or Toyota Tacoma, competing in the midsize pickup class, and leaving plenty of breathing room for the RAM 1500.

Like the Wrangler, the pickup will adopt more aluminum panels to save weight, while still allowing for good hauling and off-road capabilities. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 and an eight-speed automatic are likely to be the mainstream powertrain, but a hybrid will be added later. A diesel is a question mark at this point.

Jeep is rumored to pick the historical name Scrambler for the pickup. Expect to see it later this year, with an on-sale date in early 2019.

Loaded with aftermarket upgrades, the SEMA Cares ’17 Ford F-250 Super Duty SuperCab XLT 4x4 was built at the SEMA Garage in Diamond Bar, California, and will be auctioned for charity at Barrett Jackson, Thursday, January 18, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The SEMA Cares ’17 Ford F-250 Super Duty SuperCab XLT 4x4, built at the SEMA Garage in Diamond Bar, California, will be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson, Thursday, January 18, in Scottsdale, Arizona, with the proceeds benefitting the Childhelp children’s charity.

The truck, equipped with a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel, was tuned at aFe Power in Corona, California, with an aFe Power Scorcher HD Electronic Power Module, Momentum HD air intake air cleaner, and 5-in. DPF-back exhaust system. The upgrades added 50 hp and nearly 100 lb.-ft. of torque, totaling 397 hp and 817 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels.

Rogue Racing supplied the rear suspension system, front and rear bumpers, and custom bed rack. LGE*CTS Motorsports in San Dimas, California, installed the fenders and managed the custom matte silver/black/bronze paint scheme. The front suspension system was supplied by Icon Vehicle Dynamics, and the 3.0 External Bypass full adjustable shocks utilize Icon Coil Springs. A performance front sway bar by Hellwig Suspension Products added more control.

The wheels are custom Raceline bronze 935M Defenders with 2-in. Rough Country Wheel spacers, and are wrapped in Toyo Open Country M/T tires.

Baja Designs provided the lighting, featuring 10-in. LEDs, four wide/driving S8 10-in. lightbars and another two S2 Pro LED flush-mount amber spots. In addition, the Rogue Racing Enforcer front bumper has two S2 Pro LED driving lights and two XL-R Pro LED driving/combo ambers. A Warn Zeon 12s winch was mounted to the Rogue unit.

A Curt manufacturing Class 5 Commercial Duty hitch was installed to handle towing duties. The AMP Research Power Step XL retractable steps are illuminated when they are down to help improve footing when it’s dark.

A pair of BD Squadron Pros were mounted atop the Rogue Racing bed cage. An ARB Twin Compressor rests underneath the truck for when more air is needed.

Mounted near the A-pillar, an sPOD 8-Circuit SE System was tasked with operating all of the lights, and the stock stereo system was upgraded with a SYNC 3 system and a Kicker Audio–powered vehicle-specific sub enclosure.

Watch SEMA Vice President of OEM and Product Development Programs Mike Spagnola talk about the F-250 build.

To date, SEMA Cares has raised more than $1 million for charity. This year alone, SEMA Cares raised $95,000 from the sale of the Ford Maverick and $75,000 from the sale of the Omix-ADA Jeep Wrangler.
