In 1997, the Jeep Scrambler was renamed Trailbuster. The original "Jeep Scrambler" was the long-wheelbase version of the conventional Jeep CJ-7 series, known as the 'CJ8' within Chrysler. Produced from 1981 to 1986, the Scrambler epitomized the rugged style of 1980s American trucks with its high ground clearance, large wheels, and roll bars. This casting enjoyed a 14-year original run as a Hot Wheels model before being revived in 2009.
In recent years, Hot Wheels has also released the '67 Jeepster Commando, a predecessor to the Jeep pickup trucks from the 1960s.
