We know how much you, like us, are anxiously awaiting Fiat Chrysler's reveal of the next generation Wrangler pickup.

TopSpeed came out with their Jeep pickup rendering a few weeks ago, and now Car and Driver weighs in with their illustration (above).

Based off long speculated details - such as the Renegade-inspired taillights and 4-door Unlimited front - this design may not be too far off what FCA has planned.  However, FCA engineers are already on record saying a Jeep-stamped tailgate will not make it to production.

With the 2018 next-gen Wrangler JL expected sometime next summer, we should hopefully begin to see actual production shots of both the JL and pickup by early next Spring. 

So, thoughts?
