Jeep hasn’t built a pick-up truck in decades, although there is talk that one will appear within the next couple of years. Meantime, American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) offers the Brute double cab, a reworked Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Brute has just gone on sale in New Zealand, imported by Fiat Chrysler NZ. In this video, Car and Driver magazine staffer Basem Wasef takes a look at the Brute and the AEV company.
