Jeep Is Building a Wrangler Scrambler SRT With Removable Roof ...
The two-door Gladiator-based pickup is the wildest Jeep in years — and the Father of the Hellcats is the one holding the keys.
www.thedrive.comHere’s what’s known about the Jeep Wrangler Scrambler SRT as of now.
Latest developments
- Jeep reportedly plans a Wrangler Scrambler SRT as part of its upcoming performance-focused lineup, with references to a Gladiator-based two-door pickup and potential high-performance powertrains. Several outlets highlighted this as part of Stellantis’ broader product roadmap through 2030, signaling a significant halo vehicle for the brand.[1][3][4]
- Investor-day and press briefings from Stellantis/Jeep have tied the Scrambler concept to the brand’s performance-focused SRT strategy, with mentions of a 392-cubic-inch V8 possibility and a combination of off-road capability and street performance in the Scrambler lineup.[2][3]
- Coverage suggests the Scrambler could leverage the Wrangler’s design language, potentially adopt removable roof concepts, and feature front independent suspension with rear suspension approaches under discussion; production timing has been placed around the next several years, with some reports pointing to around 2030 depending on engineering feasibility.[3][1]
What this means for buyers
- Expect a high-end, limited-production model that emphasizes straight-line performance and off-road capability, likely sharing underpinnings with the Gladiator and Wrangler families but tuned for higher performance and a more specialized market.[4][3]
- Availability will be limited and priced above standard Wrangler variants, as suggested by the “halo” nature of SRT-branded models and the broader strategic push to diversify Jeep’s lineup with performance-oriented variants.[3][4]
Notable caveats
- Specifics such as exact engine, drivetrain, suspension, production timeline, and body configuration (two-door vs. extended cab, removable roof details) are still officially unconfirmed and vary across sources. Reports consistently emphasize that these are part of a strategic plan rather than a confirmed, launch-ready model today.[1][2][3]
Illustration
- A visual concept of a Gladiator-based Scrambler SRT illustrates a high-performance Jeep with a rugged, off-road focus and a removable roof concept, aligning with Jeep’s historic Scrambler lineage and the modern SRT performance philosophy (descriptions across multiple outlets).[4][1]
