It has been announced that there will be a 2017 Jeep Scrambler Pickup. No news yet on specs, however there is speculation that it will include the Wrangler's 3.6 liter VVT V6 engine and that the Wrangler's heavy duty suspension will come across also. There is talk of the new Wranglers moving to some aluminium parts to cut down on weight. There are also rumours of a diesel engine to improve fuel economy. The ute will come out after the next generation Wrangler is released.This is one of the customised Jeeps. They look awesome!In 2005 Jeep introduced the Gladiator concept based on a RAM 1500 and rumours have abounded since then. Up until we see the Scrambler, the only way to get a Jeep Ute has been to get one custom made, which often cost in excess of $40,000 and that is before the donor vehicle is counted!One of the issues with getting a Ute Jeep built has been constraints at the Toledo, Ohio plant, which has built Cherokees and Wranglers. It has been constrained with production and so the plan appears that the Cherokee will move to either Michigan or Illinois and the Utes will be built in Michigan alongside the Wrangler.It is unclear whether a right hand drive Jeep Ute will be produced in the first year.We can only hope, because that would be awesome and I would be really excited to have a look at one.
