Seven Sweet Jeep Safari Concept SUVs

Jeep-Easter-Safari

For Jeep owners and off-road enthusiasts, the annual Jeep Easter Safari (March 19-27) is a bucket-list-worthy event. It was started in 1967 by the Moab Chamber of Commerce and 50 years later it is now organized by Red Rock 4-Wheelers. This amazing event is expected to be attended by thousands, and the good folks at Jeep have prepared some special treats to share with their most dedicated fans.

“Every year, the Jeep team looks forward to pushing the limits with new, exciting and capable concept vehicles for our most loyal enthusiasts at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, where we receive a tremendous amount of valuable feedback,” said Mike Manley, Head of Jeep Brand – FCA Global. “This year is extra special, as together with our biggest fans, we celebrate Jeep’s 75th anniversary, as well as the 50th running of the Jeep Safari. We’re delighted to share seven of the most capable and eye-catching concept Jeep vehicles we’ve ever created at this year’s historic event.”

The seven concepts are incredible, and we’ve attempted to rank them in the list below. Honestly though, it’s a bit like ranking Victoria’s Secret Angels. They’re all awesome and we’d jump at the chance to spend time riding any of these beauties. It’s very unlikely to happen, so we’ll just admire these sexy ladies from afar and subjectively rank them in the order we’d love to get dirty with them.

3) Jeep FC 150

Jeep-FC150-2

A true American workhorse, this 1960 Jeep FC 150 concept vehicle is rich with heritage and built to tackle both challenging rocky trails and the harshness of a western cattle ranch. Originally built from 1956 to 1965, the FC 150 is based on the CJ-5 and offers a clever packaging solution by keeping overall length to a minimum for maneuverability, but maintaining a full-length cargo box for utility.

The Jeep Trailcat concept vehicle is the ultimate off-road machine, equally at home on Moab’s rugged trails or a high-speed section. Utilizing the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® Hellcat V-8 engine, and mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with a custom shifter ball featuring an embossed Hellcat logo, the Trailcat concept vehicle leaves everything else in a cloud of dust.
