JEEP-CHRYSLER PICKUPS
Basically, after Chrysler bought Jeep in 1987, the only pickup produced by Jeep was the Comanche. However, a few
hundred J-10s and J-20s were also produced that year (1987-88). But now, with the introduction of the new Wrangler unlimited and the new Jeep Gladiator concept, DaimlerChrysler may be well on its way to producing a new full-size pickup.
One of the few rare 1987-1988 Jeep J-10s. Only 1056 J-Series trucks were produced that year. |

Another 1987-1988 Jeep J-Series truck, this one is proudly serving the fire dept. of Duxbury, MA.
Just like its older brother, the J-truck, the Comanche also got into the racing act. In the large picture, Mike Lesle drives a Comanche at the famed Baja 1000, and in the smaller picture, the Archer bros. finished one-two in the SCCA Racetruck Challenge. The ad itself is from '87 and promotes the Comanches' racing ability. This is a custom 1988 jeep comanche dually. It has 1992 running gear including the 4.0L engine, 4 Speed Automatic transmission with electronic shift and Power/Economy selector, and Transfer case adapted to fit the drive train and Dana 44 rear axles. It also has 4WD and an 8 ft. bed.I have seen one other comanche dually, also a custom, on the jeep dually registry.
