The Jeep Crew Chief Looks Like The Retro Jeep Truck Of Your Most Rugged Dreams
The Jeep Crew Chief Looks Like The Retro Jeep Truck Of Your Most Rugged Dreams-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:16

The Jeep Crew Chief will be one of seven crazy concepts the company trots out at the annual this month, and it looks like an awesome adaptation of the original Cherokee Chief design dumped on a new Wrangler chassis.

Earlier we saw the first glipse of the “so 2016" , but this year’s batch of Jeep concepts isn’t about to ignore the retro fans.

The 1970s Cherokee Chief is one of the only Jeeps to be considered “classic” without a seven-slat grille. And after getting such positive responses from fans on the and more recent , I think it’s pretty awesome that they’re doing another modernization for us this year.

No details yet beyond this teaser image, but based on this and the name “Crew” I’m guessing this will be a four-door pickup variant of the Wrangler with an early J-style face.

Easter Jeep Safari is an annual social gathering for Jeep nuts in “America’s rock-crawling capital” Moab, Utah. 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the event and the 75th anniversary of the Jeep brand as we know it, so I’ve got a feeling this will be a good year to go.

The whole thing goes down between March 19th and 27th, but the whole fleet of seven Jeep concepts should be unveiled by the 21st.

We’ll find out more in the coming weeks!

Two Parts Of The Next Jeep Wrangler Body Will Be Aluminum: Report
We’ve been hearing that the next-gen 2018 Jeep Wrangler will have aluminum body parts to cut weight down. Today a report floating around the forums gives us a better idea of what that means exactly. (: Alcoa will not confirm (or deny) this report.) A user who apparently works for...

The Jeep Compass Replacement Looks Like A Mashup Of Other Jeeps
In its last major corporate update Fiat Chrysler it would replace the Jeep Compass and Patriot with this year. Officially, we haven’t heard much about that since. But some spy shots from Brazil seem to give a pretty clear indication of what Jeep’s up to with their next smallish 4x4....

Here's The Mercedes Pickup Truck Prototype In The Wild
We’ve known for some time that in the near future. Or at least, they’ll rebadge a Nissan. But this week somebody seems to have actually spotted the thing cruising around Germany. This video identifies the vehicle as a “GLT,” which some journalists (including myself) have speculated the name might be....

Prepare to be mesmerized watching a man use both hands to shift two sticks through nine gears—while double-clutching— in an old Mack Truck. This guy is a boss. I’ve got a new appreciation for truckers after watching this video of a guy rowing through the endless gears of his truck....

Hell Yeah Lifted Subaru Crosstrek
I’m pretty sure the “hardcore off-road Subaru” scene is getting ready to blow up. We’ve already seen how cool , I think the look ports pretty well to the little Crosstrek too. That’s mainly because this car follows the cardinal rule of making anything look like a badass off-roader: ....
