In light of better than expected Cherokee sales Jeep is reportedly considering a pickup based on the Cherokee after a great start on the market, nearly topping 12,000 units in the month of February.

An insider reports that last night Jeep CEO Mike Manley, amid celebration for the March sales figues was not quoted to have said,

Ugly my ass! You love this thing! Yea and we already started on the ute version! Suck on that Jalopnik, ya whiny sumbitches. If GM won't sell one here WE will!

Manley then reportedly didn't flash sketches and drivetrain details for the Cherokee "ute" which were not reported to look fantastic and not reported to be offered with a 7 speed manual tagged onto the 3.2L V6 as an option. Reports aren't saying to expect the truck to regain the Comanche name plate.

In other news, the Cherokee actually is selling quite well and that makes me happy.

I get that it's April Fools' and all but this is toying with my heart.

I can see this going one of two way. Looking like a new version of the old Jeep truck (can't remember the model name to save my life), or looking like the Ford Explorer Sport-Trac. God please look nothing like the Sport-Trac!

Edit: I guess I should read the article before I post a comment. FML.

Seriously though. I might've shed a tear writing this. I want it to be real.

Yea you did. I still hope the Comanche comes back and still definitely hope it doesn't look like the Exploder Sport-Trac.

I vote they just make it a single cab Cherokee. Shouldn't be THAT hard right? Right?

Honestly, I don't think it would be that hard either. But I do like having the extra room in the back that a 4 door gives. Or even an extended cab two door.

I went looking for 'shop and couldn't find one. One is needed...for science...and stuff.

I agree. Someone with talent should attempt this. If I do it it'll just end up looking like a Cherokee had a stroke.
