Jeep plans a new Scrambler special edition, a two-door Gladiator-based pickup with four seats that Tim Kuniskis showed on Thursday during Stellantis’ turnaround presentation. The halo model, described as an SRT vehicle, could reach production by 2030 if the company decides to build it.
The truck is not a reworked Wrangler in name only. Jeep’s Scrambler has slightly longer doors to make the rear seats easier to reach, a side step for access, and a hardtop whose rear section can be removed. Up front, the roof uses Wrangler freedom panels that pop off with latches, letting the cabin open up in the same way Jeep fans already know from the Wrangler.
What makes the concept stand out is the way Jeep has treated the back seat. The second row can be turned around, so rear passengers can face backward when the roof is off. That is the kind of detail that turns a pickup into a showpiece rather than a straightforward utility truck, and it helps explain why Jeep is framing the Scrambler as a halo product instead of a mainstream trim.
The styling also pushes the truck toward concept territory. The front end mixes a shark nose profile with squarish headlights, borrowing from both the Convoy concept and the Wrangler Anvil 715 Concept. A mail-slot intake sits in the hood, while the front suspension is independent. Thomas Sacoman said the rear would mirror that setup, though Kuniskis later said Jeep is “trying” to get IRS in there.
That mechanical detail matters because it points to how serious Jeep is about the idea. The car shown on Thursday was only a 3D-printed buck, not a finished production vehicle, but the company is still talking about bringing the Scrambler to market by 2030. Jeep also confirmed that the Gladiator is getting the Wrangler’s 392, which helps explain why the Scrambler is being positioned as an SRT product with performance ambitions.
The engine under the hood of the Scrambler has not been made public, although a 392 cubic-inch 6.4-liter Hemi V8 was mentioned as a possible fit. That uncertainty leaves the biggest unanswered question hanging over the project: whether Jeep wants this to be a design exercise built to energize the brand, or the start of a real production truck that leans into the same off-road spectacle that made the Easter Jeep Safari concepts stand out in 2025 and 2026.
For now, the answer appears to be both. Jeep has put a bold two-door pickup on the board, tied it to its Easter Jeep Safari playbook, and left the door open for production by 2030. If it reaches showrooms, the Scrambler would not just be another Gladiator variant. It would be Jeep’s latest statement that its most extreme ideas can move from the desert concept stage to the line.
