Jeep knows its owners love the brand's Easter Jeep Safari concepts. Every year, the brand rolls out some very unique Jeep one-offs intended to stoke interest in the brand and show off what its aftermarket parts department is capable of. Now, Jeep is combining some of the best aspects of these concepts into a new vehicle, claims The Drive. The new model will be a two-door truck based on the Gladiator, and could, like the larger truck, benefit from a 392 cubic-inch 6.4-liter Hemi V8.During Thursday's Stellantis media day, during which the company outlined its plans for the future, Tim Kuniskis showed The Drive a "Jeep Wrangler Scambler SRT." The model is a two-door based on the Gladiator truck with longer doors for easier access to the rear seats. Jeep's new truck features removable roof panels used on current Wrangler models, and the rear seats will be able to pivot and face the rear of the vehicle.JeepView the 2 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementThe front end of the Scrambler has a "shark nose design" with a forward-leaning leading edge on the hood, not unlike previous Jeep Easter Safari concepts. The Drive called it a mishmash of the two above Jeep concepts. In front, the Scrambler will have independent suspension and possibly an independent rear end. Jeep didn't provide a production timeline, but before the end of the decade is a possibility given the brand's plans to launch several new models in conjunction with Stellantis' greater product initiative for the back half of this decade.As for a powertrain, CEO Kuniskis has confirmed that the Gladiator truck will get the Wrangler's 392 V8. It's a possibility that this same powertrain could be made available for the Scrambler, too. Likely, it will be offered alongside Jeep's existing powertrains, including its V6 and turbocharged four-cylinder powertrains. Notably, Jeep still offers a manual transmission for the Wrangler's V6 powertrain, but not in the Gladiator.This story was originally published by Men's Journal on May 23, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
