Jeep has unveiled its lineup for the 2024 Easter Safari in Moab, Utah. This year's event features two Wranglers, a Gladiator, and a Wagoneer each with its unique charm and capabilities. The Easter Jeep Safari is an annual celebration that attracts Jeep enthusiasts from all over, and the concept vehicles presented are always a highlight. Let's dive into the details of these exciting concepts.
Jeep Low Down: A V8 Celebration
The Jeep Low Down Concept pays homage to the V8 engine which has been a popular choice among Jeep enthusiasts. With a standard 392 engine delivering 475 horsepower, beefed-up Dana 60 axles, and a set of 5.38 gears, the Low Down is a powerhouse on wheels. Its eye-catching Poison Apple Red color adds to its allure making it a standout among the concepts. The Low Down gets its name from an older Easter Jeep Safari Concept: the Lower Forty. Both are designed around their V8 engines and were customized so that the engines could be fitted without having to lift their bodies for extra clearance.
Jeep Willys Dispatcher: A Nod to the Future
The Jeep Willys Dispatcher takes a forward-thinking approach with its 4xe-based design. Sporting 36-inch tires on eggshell-colored steel wheels and a bright green finish, this concept combines vintage aesthetics with modern technology. The interior features distressed leather with houndstooth inserts adding a touch of nostalgia to this innovative build. With the retirement of the badass 6-speed electric Magneto, this 4xe-based Willys Dispatcher is by default the most forward-thinking concept Jeep has at the Safari this year.
Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top: A Personal Favorite
The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top is a personal favorite due to its two-tone finish and impressive 40-inch BFG KO3 tires. Equipped with flat fender flares, Dana 60 axles, and an AccuAir adjustable air suspension, this Gladiator is ready for any adventure. Despite its powerful appearance, it's based on the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, proving that you don't need the biggest engine to make a statement. The High Top is decked out in Jeep Performance Parts goodies making it a versatile and rugged choice for off-road enthusiasts.
Jeep Vacationeer: A Traveler's Dream
The Jeep Vacationeer is a Grand Wagoneer with a twist. Wrapped in a spearmint color, this concept features a roof tent and plenty of storage for all your travel essentials. While it may resemble last year's Camp Lux Grand Wagoneer, the Vacationeer has its unique characteristics that set it apart. This spearmint-wrapped Grand Wagoneer with a roof tent and a bunch of stuff in the back is designed for adventurers who love to explore in style and comfort.
The 2024 Easter Jeep Safari concepts offer a mix of tradition and innovation with each vehicle showcasing Jeep's commitment to versatility and performance. Whether you're a fan of classic V8 power or looking for a modern twist on a classic design, there's something for everyone in this year's lineup. As the event continues to evolve, Jeep's dedication to pushing the boundaries of off-road capability and design remains evident making the Easter Jeep Safari an exciting event for Jeep lovers around the world.
