Jeep Comanche

Quote:
American Motors' Jeep designers based the Comanche MJ body, styling, engineering, and drivetrain on the XJ Cherokee, which had been introduced for the 1984 model year.[3] The Comanche had a somewhat more conventional body-on-frame design behind the cab and a removable cargo box, but retained the unibody construction of the Cherokee in the front half of the vehicle. By contrast, the Volkswagen Caddy and Dodge Rampage are technically coupe utilities, not trucks because the cargo bed is an integral part of the body structure and not removable.
