The Wrangler has gotten big enough that I wonder if a smaller economy oriented Jeep that's comparable to an old CJ5 would sell, 3000lbs (probably unibody), one or two 4 cylinder engines, etc.
A couple of 4 cylinder engines in a 3000 pound jeep would be amazing.
The old Willys MB weighed 2500, and was barely there compared to a Wrangler. Those much bigger and heavier pieces on the Wrangler, like the axle assemblies, engine and such all add weight. Lots of weight, especially being iron and steel.
I heard that the new Wrangler will have some aluminum pieces.
