Yes - AEV ceased taking orders for the Brute Double Cab production as of March 31.
Soft top - probably not a factory option, but most definitely aftermarket. I'm sure Bestop will get on it quick!
Hemi - I'm confident AEV will continue to offer that conversion. If not, there are many other shops that will do it...provided the new crates continue to be manufactured for other Chrysler products. AEV isn't gonna do Ram only...they'll have their mitts in Jeep stuff still. Too much market share to not be involved somehow.
You guys that want a 2 door...get the original Brute, they are out there. I personally like the 4 door, more dry storage space...and I always seem to have someone w/ me. Overlanding will be nice w/ the added room. And, of course, I have kids!
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait...
Can't make a soft top if the hard top isn't removable.
Do you understand what is involved in clean motor conversions for vehicles? It's not just being able to buy a crate motor. You need to figure out the electronics and that is something some companies are still working on for the JK 3.6 which has been out for 5 years already. There is a lot more to it and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen or takes at least years before it does.

Meshng different power plant technologies to work with different vehicles is the challenge...custom programming ecu, pcm & tcm can be difficult...I know from 1st hand experience

So conflicted right now. I've been telling myself I will one of these days upgrade from my 11 year old Chevy silveRADo and get a Ford 250 or 350. But with a JT pick up coming out. I could already see myself diving off the deep end with a Jeep truck and that sounds pretty awesome. Freak
