It seems that every battle plan adopted by the Jeep Grand Cherokee is being mimicked by the Dodge Durango. For starters, the Dodge Durango and the Grand Cherokee are both SUVs under the Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles group of company. Today, Dodge further made it harder to separate the Durango from the Grand Cherokee when they decided to complete the development of the Durango SRT. This is something which the Grand Cherokee no longer offers at all. The SUV will be identical to the Grand Cherokee SRT in the sense that it will rely on the same 475hp 6.4L V8 engine so what's the point of it?

PHOTO GALLERYAlthough Jeep hasn't publicized any plans about a Grand Cherokee-based pickup and in all probability, will never create such a vehicle, one look at this rendering will leave you wondering why not.Conceivably, it wouldn't be too difficult for FCA to approve a Grand Cherokee pickup and for Jeep to simply convert the standard SUV into a pickup. Such a procedure could be costly, especially if the model proved popular, but it is certainly within the realms of possibility.As a result, automotive rendering extraordinaire Rc-workchop recently rendered a Grand Cherokee pickup but not just any old pickup, a Hellcat-powered one.Jeep has already confirmed that a Grand Cherokee Hellcat is in works with the brand's 707 hp, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. The pickup rendered therefore includes a bold front fascia and includes a large hood scoop, flared arches, big wheels and massive brakes.The two rear doors of the Grand Cherokee have also been removed to make way for a large bed area with steel reinforcements.If, for some reason, Jeep decides to ever create such a pickup, we can only imagine it proving a runaway success.
