Despite the fact that it is snowing this morning in Michigan, spring actually is across the nook, and one of many indicators is rumblings across the annual Easter Jeep Safari and its related idea vehicles. Jeep has launched a pair of preview renderings to tease the occasion, one in every of which can fire up followers of old-school pickup vehicles.
Proven on the high, one of many renderings actually appears to be like like a regular-cab, short-bed pickup truck. However the proportions are very completely different from, say, a chopped-down Gladiator, notably the quick overhang on the rear and the extra raked B-pillars. Even nearer examination reveals it appears to be like a bit just like the customized physique used on the Wrangler Magneto electrical idea. As is the case with drawings, proportions might be distorted, so it is laborious to say if it is only a uniquely formed Wrangler, or one thing extra truck-like, nearly like an previous Scrambler. A truck would positively create a buzz, particularly if it have been one thing that might spawn a singular conversion equipment just like the previous Mopar JK-8. For reference, that equipment changed a Wrangler Limitless physique with a two-door cab and really quick mattress.
The doable truck idea is the massive information of this primary teaser launch, however it’s not the one one. Above is a rendering of a Wrangler Limitless that shall be on show. It appears to be like like it’s going to most likely be a showcase of Jeep Efficiency Elements (JPP). The blue-lined logos and a small bump forward of the windshield cowl affirm it is a 4xe plug-in hybrid. And there is a little bit of smaller textual content forward of the Rubicon sticker, which suggests it is a modified model of the Wrangler Rubicon Anniversary Version proven at Chicago this yr. Among the many modifications are the tube doorways, and a few form of internet or cargo mount behind the doorways. These are absolutely simply the beginning of a raft of upgrades, lots of that are most likely out there now, and a few which might be most likely coming quickly.
These two vehicles shall be revealed in time for the Easter Jeep Safari, which runs from April 1 to April 9 at Moab. They are going to be joined by few different idea autos that can get their very own teasers in due time.
