Photographers recently captured images of two vehicles in front of the Jeep factory outside of its factory in Toledo, Ohio. One of the vehicles is clearly a current-generation Jeep Wrangler JK, but the other is hidden under a tarp. Could this be a new 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited hiding in plain site?

We�re not 100 percent sure, but it at least appears that this could actually be a new 2018 Wrangler JL. Visible to anyone passing by on I-75, there is a Wrangler Unlimited sitting in front of the huge �Jeep� sign outside the Toledo, OH assembly plant. Should any tornadoes pass through Toledo in the next several weeks, a quick road trip to Ohio will be in order to see if the car cover is still attached!

Codenamed �JL,� the regular 2018 Wrangler will start production in Q4 of 2017. The Wrangler pickup, codenamed �JT,� has been delayed until later in 2019. Both will be built at the Toledo, Ohio, plant.

The entire Wrangler lineup will be riding on a new chassis, and feature more weight-saving materials in the body design, though it�s been reported there will be only limited use of aluminum.

The new Wrangler will be offered with a 2.0L, turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.6L V6, and a turbo diesel. There are also rumors of a plug-in hybrid variant.

Whether this vehicle in Toledo is in fact a 2018 Jeep Wrangler remains unclear, but it�s certainly stoking the fire for Jeep enthusiasts ahead of its launch later this year.
