Jeep says Cherokee’s emissions-evading device was a misunderstanding, not cheating. But how will that affect the future of a diesel-powered Wrangler?

If you weren’t already excited about the forthcoming Wrangler-based pickup, then just wait until you get a load of this rendering for the new Jeep.

Here it is; the first look at the face of the new, next-gen Jeep Wrangler. You’re forgiven if you don’t notice much change.

People are still raving about those Jeep concepts displayed this year at the Moab Jeep Easter Safari. But the question that many have been asking is if any of the concepts might hint at some of the features found in the next-gen Wrangler.

Some intrepid Jeep lovers out there are keen on seeing what a new Jeep Grand Cherokee pickup would look like, and they took to photoshop to create such a thing.

You can all breathe a sigh of relief because the CEO of Jeep has officially confirmed that the next Wrangler will retain its ladder frame construction.

Anonymous sources are saying that the new Jeep Wrangler will come with FCA’s 8-speed automatic with the V6 EcoDiesel engine. But we’ve got at least one good reason to be wary of that idea.
