The 58th annual Easter Jeep Safari, commencing on Saturday and extending until March 31, serves as a platform for Stellantis brand's designers to flaunt their creativity. The event will showcase a selection of daring concept vehicles during the trail-riding extravaganza, expected to draw over 20,000 enthusiasts. Today at the event in Moab, Utah, Jeep unveiled four innovative concept cars in partnership with Jeep Performance Parts (JPP), combining elements of the brand's legacy with forward-looking design cues.

Jeep Four Latest Concepts

This year's Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, Jeep introduced four fresh concepts. These concepts include two Wranglers, a Gladiator, and a Grand Wagoneer. Each of these custom creations boasts a distinctive design. They possess abundant off-road prowess and a plethora of Mopar accessories to enhance their performance and style.

Low Down Concept

As per CarBuzz, the engines in these vehicles are cutting edge, ranging from the Wrangler 4xe's plug-in hybrid powertrain to the Wrangler 392's potent V8 engine (CARBUZZ). Driving experiences are exhilarating with the Pentastar V6 engine of the Gladiator and the exciting Hurricane Twin Turbo 510 engine of the Grand Wagoneer, respectively.

During the 43rd Annual Easter Jeep Safari, the design team unveiled the Jeep Wrangler Lower 40, featuring a stock ride height for optimum center of gravity, paired with 40-inch mud-terrain tires and a robust 5.7-liter V8 engine. This year, in a nod to the beloved fan favorite, Jeep introduces the new Low Down mode

The Low Down takes things up a notch by sporting colossal 42-inch BFGoodrich Krawler 42x14.5R20 mud-terrain tires mounted on 20-inch beadlock wheels. Custom carbon fender flares add a touch of flair, while maintaining the Wrangler Rubicon 392 suspension setup. Upgraded Dana 60 axles with 5.38 gears replace the standard axles, enhancing both approach and departure angles for unrivaled off-road performance.

Willys Dispatcher

According to SlashGear, the Jeep four new concepts include the Willys Dispatcher, drawing inspiration from the early civilian Jeeps post-World War II. This model, based on the Wrangler 4xe's platform, combines a 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, generating a robust 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.

The vehicle stands out with its striking Element 115 Green paint, classic cream-colored steelie-inspired wheels, and a retro interior featuring saddle leather and cloth seats. For added nostalgia, the traditional headrests have been omitted in this convertible design, offering a glimpse of a bygone era with a touch of modern flair.

Vacationeer

Introducing the Vacationeer, one of the Jeep four new concepts showcased at the event. This model, derived from the Grand Wagoneer platform, features a significant lift and is equipped with imposing 35-inch tires for enhanced off-road capabilities. Boasting an array of skid plates underneath, it's tailored for overlanding adventures. However, the standout feature is the impressive rooftop tent provided by RedTail Overland, known as the Skyloft, offering a unique camping experience above the ground.

Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top Concept

As reported by the Detroit Free Press, the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top Concept stands out among the Jeep four new concepts, serving as a platform to highlight Jeep Performance Parts. Adorned in a distinctive Ginger Snap metallic paint with retro-inspired two-tone graphics, this concept is powered by a potent 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. Noteworthy features include a customized front bumper with a unique protective hoop housing a Warn winch, along with rock rail power steps designed for convenient cabin access.
