The JT bed should be about the same size as a Tacoma short bed. Any shorter and they'd loose out on truck customers. This is meant to be a real competitor in the mid-size truck market, not another Explorer Sport-Trac.
Proportionally it should be nearly identical to the AEV Brute DC. It's just that nearly all Brute DCs are lifted and sitting on 35s or 37s, so they look much better proportioned.
The big issue for the JT's proprotions is the Wrangler's traditionally long nose. There's a huge amount of space between the front wheels and the front doors compared to something like a Tacoma. This in turn makes the vehicle longer overall. The JT's overall length and wheelbase should be very close to that of the Tacoma 4dr long bed, but the JT will have a short bed on it.
