I own jeeps even if owned by FCA (FIAT!) b/c of AMERICA, but some tacomas are made here?
The second generation Tacomas were assembled in Tijuana, Mexico and Fremont, California while the plastic/composite beds were all built in Mexico. However, in August 2009 Toyota announced that it would relocate Tacoma production from Fremont to San Antonio, Texas.

Exactly. Jeep is Made in America. Tacoma is made in Mexico.
Hence why I wrote "to start it would be made in America". :beer:

The Jeep pickup will be a lifestyle play 100%. Just like the Brute. Its not going to haul anything more than some bags of mulch from the store or maybe the trash to the dump. If we are lucky, it will be built so that the bed is easily removable for a full camper or built in such a way to take a nice slide in popup.
I wouldnt expect any payload capacity beyond 1200 ish pounds and probably a towing capacity of 5k or less (could be 3500).

Globalization - not ALL Tacomas are made in Mexico. In the last decade jeep has been owned by germans and italians...
back on point - probably a nervous time for aftermarket companies waiting to see the JL spec

Last 5 times I've been to the local dealer, I've asked my buddy to see what they are getting. No Texas Taco's here.

What do you mean by lifestyle play? Do you think that the Jeep pickup will be less capable than a Colorado or Tacoma?

If I may add some photos of a few AEV TJ Brute's I've built over the last few years. And I'll tell you this, I've NEVER driven any vehicle that get's more attention. EVER!
