Jeep has released images of six new vehicle concepts that will be showcased during the brand’s Easter event, the Easter Jeep Safari, which will take place in Moab, Utah.
During the event, which brings together thousands of off-road enthusiasts for desert trails, Jeep often takes the opportunity to use the rocky terrain as a stage to present new creative concepts.
Check out the concepts presented by Jeep for this year’s event:
Jeep Wrangler Laredo Concept
Bringing a retro concept to the scene, the Laredo features finishes worthy of the 1970s, inspired by the CJ, an off-roader adopted by civilians after World War II. Based on the current Willys trim, the Laredo combines a 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 285 hp with a six-speed manual transmission.
Jeep XJ Pioneer Concept
For the Moab event, Jeep also decided to bring a restomod based on a Cherokee XJ 1984. The manufacturer did not make many changes to the vehicle, but there are some details worth noting, such as a 5 cm lift to accommodate 17-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires.
Jeep Wrangler Anvil 715 Concept
Like the Laredo, the Wrangler Anvil 715 arrives as another tribute to Jeep’s retro aesthetic. Based on a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, the Anvil 715 features a custom body from the A-pillar forward that echoes the front of the Kaiser Jeep M715, a military truck built in the 1960s.
Under the custom hood lies the powerful 392 Hemi V8 engine, which produces 470 horsepower in the production Wrangler. For the Moab event, it is, of course, equipped with additional off-road features, including 37-inch tires wrapped around 17-inch wheels, allowing the Anvil 715 to tackle nearly any terrain.
Jeep Wrangler Buzzcut Concept
The Wrangler Buzzcut concept is packed with aftermarket parts from Jeep’s Mopar catalog, something the brand frequently does for the Moab event. Painted orange, it features a roof lowered by 5 cm compared to the standard Wrangler.
Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 270 hp, equipped with a Mopar cold air intake and paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Jeep Grand Wagoneer Commander Concept
Stepping slightly away from the off-road aesthetic, Jeep experimented with the Grand Wagoneer Commander, introducing some interesting changes to the brand’s most luxurious SUV. Its look is described by Jeep as stealthy, thanks to its all-black paint and 20-inch black wheels fitted with 35-inch tires.
The custom roof rack, featuring a variety of white and yellow auxiliary lights, is one of the most notable details, along with custom skid plates to protect the underside and side graphics designed to emulate the woodgrain panels of vintage Wagoneers with a pattern inspired by the topography of Canyonlands National Park.
Jeep Gladiator Red Rock Concept
The final concept pays tribute to the Red Rock 4-Wheelers, the off-road club that organizes the Easter Jeep Safari. It is built around the Gladiator Rubicon pickup. Under the hood, the concept features the Pentastar V6 and is packed with Mopar parts.
It features a 7 cm lift to accommodate 17-inch beadlock wheels fitted with 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 tires. The steel bumper is complemented by a Warn winch and additional lighting, while the look is completed with unique graphics on the front and doors.
