Imagine the incredibly popular Jeep Wrangler 392 fused together with the Jeep Gladiator and having an incredibly sporty baby. That’s essentially what we get out of the recently released two-door Jeep Scrambler pickup truck. Unfortunately, the model is just a concept, so we aren’t quite sure if it will make it to production or not, but I have to admit that I’m all the way in on this idea after seeing it in action.
Perched on a short wheelbase, this machine weighs 450 pounds less than a typical Jeep Wrangler. It’s also a two-door, two-seater with a pickup truck bed on the back. Under the hood, we find a familiar 6.4L V8 Hemi that’s good for almost 500 hp. The lightweight nature of the truck, means this two-door off-road machine is going to be a blast to hop behind the wheel of. The Wrangler was already popular in the off-road community due to its lightweight nature and the Scrambler seems to take things a step further.
The thing about this particular concept is that it seems to be purpose-built from top to bottom. There are a lot of custom components for off-roading and exaggerated components that albeit cool, probably wouldn’t make it to production. We just don’t see Jeep installing a 40-inch tall tire on something that they release to the public these days.
However, as is the case with many concepts, Jeep might pick and choose a couple of things here that make sense to actually deliver. In other words, while this exact rig might look a little bit like a Hot Wheels car come to life, as our host projects, a production version might be a tamed-down variation of such a machine.
Below, the crew over at TFLoffroad takes a moment to dive into this build to show off some of the adrenaline-pumping ideas that Jeep has been working with.
