If Jeep ever brings it to production, I think this truck will do all of the above just fine... And I WILL OWN ONE if Ford doesn't get their sheet together.that Jeep won't haul all my chit in the back either. I just don't get the folks wanting Ford, or any other manufacturer to make them a special purpose vehicle for their "offroading". It just doesn't make sense from a business perspective. If you want a true rockcrawler or a mud machine, build one, but don't expect a manufacturer to build your perfect truck when the rest of the world doesn't want it.
WARNING! Extremely annoying LOUD music warning.
And judging by the AVE Brute, I'd say the demand is out there. Sure, they haven't sold many, but you can't automatically blame that on low demand. Lots of people surely didn't know they exist, or they just weren't available locally, etc.. If they were sitting on Jeep dealer lots, the sales would be vastly different.
