New Scrambler is Dead

Nov 29, 2003 6 Replies

- The Wrangler Unlimited is 15 inches longer than the standard Wrangler, with

12 inches behind the second seat for added cargo. The longer wheelbase, says Chrysler COO Wolfgang Bernhard, gives the Wrangler "much better road manners, less hop, but with no loss of off-road capability." The Unlimited also comes with a "Sunrise" soft top, which allows the front of the ragtop to be peeled back without removing the whole canvas.

So the rumors that the Scrambler would have 4-place seating described this vehicle, not a 2-seat w/pickup bed. Wonder if they'll have a 4-door option.

The new Motor Trend has drawings of the supersized Jeep based loosely on the newer bigger Durango that may be released above the Grand Cherokee.

That's probably a different animal altogether, the one that looks like an H3....

Are you thinking about this one?

I heard that it was supposed to be based on the Ram 1500 chassis!

No, that one is a bit more butch looking, apparently to compete with the H series.

So is the Durango. Whether the Grand Wagoneer is just a stretched version of the GC or a separate chassis wasn't at all clear and have seen claims going both ways.
