Jeep truck and FWC or Khaya Camper

[kerouac]

With the new Jeep truck on the horizon it seems to me an ideal rig would be this vehicle with either a four wheel pop up camper or something like the Alu-Cab Khaya mounted on the back. I'm curious if any vendors are thinking about this and/or if the bed will just be too narrow to accommodate something like this. Thoughts from the group?

I feel certain tons of vendors are thinking about it - Adventure Trailers, Go Fast Campers etc. but as you said, it will depend entirely on the dimensions of the bed, and I don't think there have been official specs yet (though whole knows if vendors have them already..)

It will obviously be a very, very interesting time for Jeep Overlanding, I just hope the payload is a good step up from the JLU.

Which has to be wrong.

Why the difference here

JT Scrambler Pickup Base (3.0L Diesel): 5100 lbs | 6500 lbs | 1400 lbs
JT Scrambler Pickup Premium (3.0L Diesel): 5200 lbs | 6500 lbs | 1100 lbs

The premium only weighs 100lbs more, but it's payload is 300lbs less?

And with the 3.6 the premium does not weigh more than the base...
