The other branches
Cab-over trucks, compact pickups, and crossovers
Forward Control, Comanche, Liberty, Commander, Compass, Patriot, and Renegade show how much Jeep history exists outside the CJ/Wrangler spine.
Forward Control maximized bed length
Putting the cab over the engine created a short vehicle with a useful cargo platform and memorable proportions.
Comanche used a hybrid structure
The MJ paired an XJ-derived unibody cab with a separate rear frame, a configuration distinct from both conventional pickups and the Cherokee.
The crossover era changed the platform story
Compass, Patriot, and Renegade brought shared car and Fiat-group architectures into the range; platform genealogy is part of the fact.
