How the Jeep Pickup Stacks Up Against Competitors

The 2019 Jeep pickup enters a crowded but growing mid-size truck segment. Here's how it compares to key rivals:

--FIRST CONTENT ADVERTISEMENT HERE--

Jeep vs. Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

While the Colorado ZR2 excels as a desert runner, the Jeep pickup will dominate in rock crawling scenarios. The Jeep offers:

• More aggressive approach/departure angles
• Superior axle articulation
• Open-air options unavailable on Colorado
• Potentially better aftermarket support

Jeep vs. Ford Ranger Raptor

The global Ranger Raptor focuses on high-speed off-road performance, while the Jeep pickup:

• Offers more traditional Jeep rock-crawling ability
• Provides greater configuration options
• Features removable top options
• Likely better low-range gearing

Jeep vs. Honda Ridgeline

The Ridgeline excels as a daily driver but can't match the Jeep's:

• True body-on-frame construction
• Off-road capability
• Towing and payload capacity
• Aftermarket support

What Makes the Jeep Pickup Unique

The 2019 Jeep pickup isn't just another mid-size truck—it represents a new category blending uncompromised off-road ability with genuine truck utility:
