Too long, shorten that wheelbase and I'd be in love.

Raise the suspension and it won't look long.

Thing probably looks like a bowflex as it rides down the road

I saw awesome!

Making the rear doors had to be a hard job. I like the long wheel base and proper sized box. Too many trucks today with with tiny boxes that can't hold anything. Isn't that the point of having a truck? I like to call these toy boxes. 6' is minimum and 8' is ideal. Some days you need a 10', but those times aren't too common.

If I had to take a guess I'd say they ass-ended a Cherokee and stuck a box to it. The nose is throwing me off, I didn't think that Jeep offered the revised XJ nose like that (more upright, without the bend in the grill and the softer corners) until after Comanche production was discontinued.

I hope it's not still a unibody.

i bet they managed to NOT give it any more legroom.

Comanches are a neat idea, as long as your inseam is 30" or less.

They didn't, but apparently the swap over to later XJ front on a Comanche isn't terribly hard. I want a Comanche to do that swap to quite badly.

It's not. See the link at the top.

It’s still unibody all the way to the bed then it turns into a frame just like a normal Comanche.
