The time-tested, performance-proved
4-Wheel-Drive 'Jeep' Truck
The 4-Wheel-Drive 'Jeep Truck, like all
vehicles in the 'Jeep' family, is time-tested
and performance-proved. It has the "go
anywhere" ability to take you over the
toughest terrain, the extra versatility to
do many different jobs.
Before you buy any 4-wheel drive truck
remember this: only ONE has been time
tested over many years, only ONE has
been performance-proved through count
less miles of the most strenuous transport
service. That ONE is the rugged, 4-Wheel-Drive'Jeep'
Truck. No other 4-wheel
drive truck even approaches its amazing
performance-proved record. So, why ex
periment or settle for less than the only
time-tested 4-wheel drive truck in its
weight class-the 4-Wheel-Drive 'Jeep'
Truck that gives you more performance
proved value.
Rugged 'Jeep' Trucks are f unctionally de
signed with time-saving features like
high-skirted fenders and a full-opening
hood that puts the engine within easy
reach for servicing. Put it squarely up to
your 'Jeep' dealer to show you what this
performance-proved Truck can do for you.
