4-Door Wrangler? Crosslander?
A friend of mine in the newspaper business just said he recently saw an
announcement from Jeep that they will produce a new Wrangler platform late next year. One of the variants will be a 4-door stretched version available with both hard and soft tops (Yippee!). Has anybody heard anything else about this? I hope they sell it with a diesel and a 6-speed manual. Also rumored to be coming to the US soon is a Land Rover knock-off built by a Romanian company in Brazil called the "CrossLander". This is a civilized version of an Eastern-European military vehicle and appears to be a simple, rugged, no-frills hard-core 4x4 with a base price somewhere around $20K. They claim a network of 90 dealers nationwide (here's the link for the Dallas dealer: http://www.noboundaries4x4.com/cross_lander.html), with availability later this spring (they say that EPA approval, secured late last fall, has delayed US introduction originally scheduled for 2003). Does anybody know anything more about this thing? I think either of these 2 vehicles would make a great "Toad" for the more adventurous RV-er. Thanks, El Alumbrado "Civis Texanus Sum" |

Re: 4-Door Wrangler? Crosslander?
The last TJ will roll off the line on July 21, 2006. The new Wrangler
will begin production soon after. Word is there will be a 4-door option. The 4.0l I6 is dropped for V6. Diesel available. The tub body is ditched to improve side impact ratings. Also rumored to be wider than a TJ. Best bet is that 07 Wrangler will share much of the Gladiator styling and platform: http://photos.velocityjournal.com/im...or1315767m.jpg Gladiator prototype has a solid front axle. Hopefully 07 Wrangler will too. The Commander is debuting day after tomorrow at NY auto show: http://www.xkjeeps.com/photos/2006_commander_003.jpg Big pig (6500 lb) with IFS and seven seats.
