Jeep Revives Scrambler as Short‑Wheelbase Two‑Door Pickup

Stellantis presented the modular Scrambler as a heritage‑inspired, performance‑focused vehicle that could reshape Jeep’s small‑truck lineup under FastLane 2030.

Overview

  • Stellantis unveiled the new Jeep Scrambler during its Investor Day presentation on May 21, 2026 as part of the FastLane 2030 plan.
  • Jeep presented the Scrambler as a short‑wheelbase, two‑door pickup with a removable rear hardtop that can convert the truck into a compact SUV and a 3D‑printed buck was shown to press.
  • On‑site reporting described features such as Wrangler 'freedom panels' up front, rear seats that can face backward, and slightly longer doors to ease rear access, though those details come from the press viewing not final specs.
  • Stellantis said a high‑performance SRT Scrambler is planned and journalists reported the likely use of a V8 similar to the 392 6.4L, but exact powertrain choices are unconfirmed and remain speculative.
  • Key engineering items — including the production platform and whether the Scrambler will get an independent rear suspension — were left unresolved by executives and media expect production, if approved, to be several years away with estimates around 2030.
