Australian Journos were taken over to the USA recently for a Colorado drive program with the current Wrangler and Grand Cherokee. Whilst there the Jeep executives were talking future Jeeps and the Wrangler was top of that list with strong indications of an all new Wrangler due for 2015 model year..
Expect the next Wrangler to be more pedestrian safe with restyled front end and a softer impact zone - does not sound 4WD friendly though with most likely no heavy duty bumpers for mounting winches and the usual off road gear.
New styling and body configurations are also in the pipeline with possible pickup and full steel wagon versions being touted along with petrol and diesel engine upgrades and more modern interiors and overhaul of crash safety compliance are expected to be part of major upgrades to the range.
It's very early days yet so watch out for snippets over the next year.
