On display at the NADA convention in Las Vegas this weekend...

Automotive News said:

There were several pickup trucks scattered around the show floor at this year's NADA convention and exposition. But there was only one that said Jeep, and it's a monster in both size and popularity.

American Expedition Vehicles, a supplier for Chrysler Group that also sells upper-end aftermarket parts for the Jeep Wrangler and other off-roaders, featured its “Brute” pickup, a heavily-modified Wrangler Unlimited that features four doors, a full-sized truck bed, and a 6.4-liter HEMI engine.

The Brute will go on-sale this summer, said CFO Micheal Messink, starting at about $60,000.
“It's drawing a ton of interest,” Messink said.

look good but it looks to much like the 05' gladiator with a full size cab and i still prefer seeing is the gladiator on the road then the brute AEV. still a nice try for truck design and product but still has the same tow capacity as the wrangler witch is a class II even with the bigger engine still can't tow nothing.
( for those who think I dissing jeep. 89 jeep Comanche still driving like a chap.)
