The new JL generation of the Jeep Wrangler has already received a warm welcome and those who are happy to be able to get behind its wheel are in for an even braver adventure. We're talking about the upcoming arrival of the Wrangler-based Scrambler (codenamed JT) pickup truck.
A prototype of the bed wielder has recently been spotted in a parking lot, with Redditor kcothron4 having come across the test while being on the move.
And while this Scrambler prototype is covered in the typical heavy camouflage, we can talk about more important details of the newcomer - a Jeep aftermarket part developer recently visited the production site in Toledo, Ohio, managing to come across an unpainted pickup truck body.
As you can notice in the image below, which came to us via the Jeep Scrambler Forum, the truck will come with a removable top and a folding windshield. In fact, the upcoming machine is expected to offer three roof options. Body-painted three-piece hard top aside, the Scrambler should come with a black three-piece hard top and a Premium Black Sunrider Soft Top.
The Scrambler is expected to come with a towing capacity of up to 6,500 lbs (that's 2,948 kilograms) with the diesel motor, using the Base trim. As for the payload, the said setup is expected to bring this to 1,400 lbs (635 kg).
The engine compartment contents should be borrowed from the normal Wrangler. As such, you'll get to choose between a naturally aspirated V6, a diesel V6 and a turbo-four. In the transmission department, owners should be able to choose between a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic.
While the Jeep Scrambler may arrive by the end of the year, we're not expecting it to hit the market until 2019. In fact, as we discussed back in March, the Scrambler should reach dealers in April next year.
