Jeep Competitor?

GMC Boss Wants A Jeep Wrangler Rival




Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down and forgotten. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.

The news comes directly from 
Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."

That could include a 
Hummer Hx Concept-looking type rival (pictured above) to battle Jeep's Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali
. Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
