Impressive, although some might see it as being a little... suburban.READ MORE: * British Jeep Wrangler double-cab ute to launch in NZ * Jeep's Italian Renegade arrives in NZ * Sacrilege? Jeep to make purple Wranglers Brute tray is made from composite material and fully lined. Rear bumper is new. What's really needed is a Wrangler ute. Americans are as enamoured with tray-vehicles as we Kiwis are, and customers have been asking for a proper Wrangler load-lugger for years. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has finally promised such a thing for the next-generation Wrangler, due in 2017.In the meantime, Kiwi distributor Fiat Chrysler New Zealand (FCNZ) has a Wrangler-ute taster on offer: the Brute. The Brute is a Jeep that's not really a Jeep that is being sold through through the Kiwi Jeep dealer network, with full warranty and support. It's built by a company called American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), which was founded in Montana (hence an interest in super-rugged off-roaders) but builds its vehicles in Detroit, close to FCA headquarters.

Rugged adventure-addenda like spotlights and a Warn winch are standard on Kiwi Brute. AEV has been building extreme aftermarket versions of the Wrangler (and other FCA trucks) for two decades. The business seems to have tacit approval from head office, which has even given AEV a Chrysler Design Excellence Award for the Brute. Sort of a 'thanks for doing a better job than we did' trophy. To make a Brute, you will need: one standard Wrangler Unlimited and a minimum of $54,910. That price does not include the donor vehicle, by the way. A Brute is not for the faint-hearted in any way.For its (Br)ute version, AEV extends the Wrangler wheelbase by 590mm behind the rear axle and adds a further 410mm into the rails behind the rear wheels to provide space for a proper tray. These changes take the overall length out to 5486mm, which makes the Brute a tricky proposition when parking (real utes don't have reversing cameras or radar, mate). AEV adds a total of 735mm to the Wrangler's length to make the Brute ute.

The tray is injection-moulded, cored composite material which AEV claims is stronger than steel and non-corrosive. The tray is 1530x1550mm (by way of comparison, a Ranger double-cab is 1549x1330mm). There's a grippy, protective coating and four tie-downs.The Brute should perhaps come with a small ladder to ease access, because the AEV-specific DualSport suspension kit adds 53mm to the ground clearance.You definitely look up at a Brute, which should tell you something. Wrangler cabin architecture is retained, although there are plenty of detail changes such as AEV-branded instruments. The extra height and monster off-road rubber are intended to make the Brute a machine with formidable off-road ability. The approach and departure angles of 57/32 degrees are considerably better than the Unlimited's 35/28, although if you're planning to tow anything the standard Wrangler is still a better bet. Brute it might be, but AEV's ute can only haul 1588kg in Sport form, compared with a much more useful 2300kg for the Unlimited.The Brute Sport is featured here, but there's also a Rubicon that adds a heavy duty front axle, extra-low-range gearbox ratio, front and rear electric locking differentials, body protecting 'rock rails', an electronic front anti-roll bar that can be disconnected completely for extra axle articulation and automatic headlights.

The Brute is only offered in double-cab form. The entire passenger compartment is retained and AEV has rebuilt the rear section with steel panels that it claims are identical in construction to the original body. The Brute also retains the removable Freedom panels over the front seats. And I guess you now have somewhere to put them: in the tray. Nice attention to detail all-around. Plus, you want everybody to sell what it's called. Quality-wise, the Brute is impressive. This is so often the case with aftermarket versions of American trucks, which aren't known for their excellence in fit and finish. I wouldn't be surprised if the AEV product was even better screwed together than the factory Wrangler: after all, old-school Jeeps can be a bit approximate in their build quality, whereas a company like AEV knows its products will be under extra scrutiny and goes the extra mile in assembly and quality.There's certainly nice attention to detail in the Brute package: you get AEV-branded instruments, a build plaque and bespoke 17-inch alloy wheels.

It's imposing, but it's not fast. The Brute is powered by FCA's Pentastar V6 petrol engine and five-speed automatic transmission, which transformed the standard Wrangler when it was added in 2012 but has to cope with an extra 376kg in Brute form.AEV says the extra bulk is nothing to do with the conversion but rather comes from the extra equipment carried by the Brute for its adventure-potential: stuff like the heavy-duty suspension, water-pump kit, front skid plate and front-mounted winch assembly.A Wrangler is no road warrior even in standard form. The Brute is a real handful on the sealed stuff, with its higher centre of gravity and balloon-like BF Goodrich 35-inch mud-terrain tyres. It's a real battle keeping the thing in a straight line on the motorway at 100kmh and the road noise is deafening. But the tall tyres and enormous wheelbase mean the Brute drives like a dream on gravel or off-tarmac conditions: you can carry a lot of speed over small obstacles and it's highly controllable on loose surfaces because there's such a lot of distance between the front and rear axles.
