I can't imagine why it wouldn't look like a Wrangler.

Considering they've flatly stated, it's a Wrangler.
The 4 year plan shows a Wrangler, Wrangler unlimited, Wrangler Gladiator, and a Wrangler Scrambler. Can we assume that all four platforms will be the next gen?

None are, the platform is extended through 2030 as of now.
Wow, that's a little surprising. If I remember correctly, even though the Gladiator was released in spring of 2019, it was sold as a 2020 model. So, that's 10+ years of the same model. Maybe it will be like the Ram HD and go through multiple refreshes/facelifts before a generation change. Perhaps the Scrambler will be released sooner than I think, maybe 2028.

Someone posted this on the JL Forum, and it’s a great catch. Jeep would totally do something like this to test a future production suspension in plain sight.

Casey Curries race truck, Striker, was shown at EJS 2026 recently as a concept. In a YouTube video he thanked the engineers at Jeep for having the opportunity to develop the suspension with them. Similar to the green Scrambler concept except ment for speed.

Let me tell you how overrated reading is.

I told (text) the ole lady the other day I wanted two chalupas and a steak quesadilla when she was stopping at Taco Bell after work.

She came home with two chalupas and a steak taco.

I said taco and quesadilla aren't even remotely the same word.

She says eh I got bored reading the end of that and must have assumed.

🙄

How she is a pretty successful nurse, I have yet to figure out.
Now if YOU did that…

Agreed 100%. That's a great way to test the product from both an engineering standpoint but also to test it from a marketing approach.

If jeep is going to sell an IFS offroad race suspension capable of supporting the weight of 40's, I might not be so angry... but that's unlikely to be reality when it comes to a production model.

I agree. They could dumb it down with stamped control arms and Mojave-style shocks, and still maintain reasonable suspension travel and capability.

I'd pass on that over keeping my solid axle. Dumbing it down with street quality CVs, steering rack, and all that comes with your typical IFS vehicles...

I think it's competing in a different market and losing it's lifestyle niche. Ford, GM, Toyota all have options to compete with when it comes to IFS 4x4 midsize trucks.

Hope springs eternal lol.

It's a Wrangler with a half cab.

The statement, it's a Wrangler with a half cab, from the CEO....

IT'S A FUSION REACTOR LONG TRAVEL IFS

I have a standing Friday meeting about all the changes, expect a presentation based on the investor update either tomorrow or next week.

Extension info is a few months old right now.

This will be the confirmed information that AI digs up when you ask it about a Scrambler 😂
Search Engine: "Will the new Scrambler have a SFA or IFS?"

AI Answer: "The long-awaited Fusion Reactor Long Travel IFS has been confirmed for the Scrambler!"
