A Guide to the Jeep Concept Models Unveiled in Moab

Every year Jeep takes the opportunity to show off concept models at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. This year, the manufacturer impressed Jeep enthusiasts with seven new concept models. Keep reading to learn more about each model and what makes them interesting. Jeep Comanche The Jeep Comanche is built around the body of the Renegade Trailhawk. While the front end has recognizable features from the Renegade, the six-foot bed in the rear of the vehicle makes it look more like a compact pickup truck. The vehicle sits on 16-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires and a two-inch lift. Under the hood, you'll find a two-liter four-cylinder diesel engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. more Jeep Renegade Commander Built on a stock body, the Renegade Commander looks very similar to the Renegades you see on the road except with a modified exhaust, skid plates, rock rails, and a two-inch lift kit. It also has a unique Fluorescent Gray exterior color and MySky roof. The vehicle has a nine-speed automatic transmission and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Jeep Shortcut The funky Jeep Shortcut pays homage to the classic Jeep CJ-5. Engineers took the body of a Wrangler and then shortened it by a foot. The Dana 44 axles, two-inch lift kit, and 17-inch steel wheels with 35-inch mud-terrain tires help this small but competent vehicle handle tight and winding trails. Inside, the vehicle goes bold and retro with a bright red interior and a combination of alligator-style leather and plaid seats. Jeep Trailcat The most talked about concept model at the show is the Jeep Trailcat. The Trailcat takes a Wrangler body and stretches it an additional foot. That extra space is necessary for the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8 Hellcat engine that gets 707 horsepower with a six-speed manual transmission. Along with all that power, the 17-inch beadlock wheels, 39.5-inch tires, and Fox shocks help this vehicle take on bursts of high-speed or rocky trails. Jeep Trailstorm The Jeep Trailstorm looks like a vehicle you could easily put together yourself. The exterior features LED headlights and fog lights, a satin black grille, winch guard, power dome vented hood, off-road rails, high top fenders, taillight guards, and a concept fast-back soft top. The Trailstorm also comes with a two-inch lift kit, Fox shocks, 17-inch wheels, and 37-inch tires. Jeep Crew Chief 715 The Jeep Crew Chief 715 is a tribute to Jeep military vehicles. The four-door vehicle has a 138-inch wheelbase and five-foot bed. It also features a four-inch lift kit and 20-inch beadlock wheels. Lift up the hood and you'll find a capable 3.6-liter V6 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission. Jeep FC 150 The Jeep FC 150 takes a 1960 Jeep Forward Control body and puts it on a 2005 Wrangler chassis. The look is a classic design, but with a PowerTech four-liter V6 engine and 33-inch mud-terrain tires, it can handle any terrain. For a little added fun, the hay bale in the bed is actually a cooler. From acknowledging previous Jeep models to reimagining current ones, these seven concept models are entertaining and interesting to explore.

The Differences Between the 2016 and 2017 Jeep Wrangler

The 2017 Jeep Wrangler holds true to the design and features that people traditionally associate with this brand. The Wrangler remains a powerful utility vehicle with some new upgrades in 2017 that drivers will appreciate. Take a look at what sets the 2017 model apart! Appreciate the Exterior Upgrades When you look at the 2017 Wrangler, you know immediately that it's Jeep's flagship go-anywhere vehicle. Enthusiasts of this off-roading wonder embrace the fact that the exterior retains the Wrangler's classic shape and aesthetic. Opt for two or four removable doors, a signature feature of the Wrangler. more New for 2017, LED headlights and fog lamps come standard on Rubicon and Sahara trims. They're optional on the stripped down Sport. With these lighting upgrades, the 2017 Wrangler gives its driver better visibility in adverse weather conditions. The LED lights also enable other vehicles to see it easier in the dark and during heavy fog. Consider the Expanded Options For the 2017 model, you can choose a two- or four-door model. Once you know how many doors you want, there are three trims available for each: the Sport, Sahara, and Rubicon. The Sport is the no-frills base trim. It's low on creature comforts but high on utility. On the Sahara, you get air conditioning, an insulated hood to reduce engine noise, and satellite radio. The 2017 model includes some of the same packages previously available on the Wrangler such as the Power Convenience Group, but adds a new one: the Cold Weather Package. Stay Warm With Features to Combat the Cold If you opt for the new Cold Weather Package, you get several amenities that provide additional comfort during the winter months. This package starts with the same upgrades as the Power Convenience Group such as keyless entry, heated power mirrors, a mirror that dims automatically, power locks and windows, and a security system. The Cold Weather Package adds the warmth of heated seats and the convenience of remote start. If it's a cold morning, you don't want to get in the cold to start your Wrangler. Rely on the Tradition of Excellence Though many aspects of the Jeep Wrangler remain the same in 2017, there's still plenty to love. At the top of the list is its ability to go off road. You can't beat the off-roading capabilities of the newest Wrangler. Able to crawl over rocks and gain traction in the mud, it's the right vehicle to take off pavement and into the wild. Meanwhile, the interior remains straightforward and easy to use. With its intuitive layout for controls, the dashboard makes it easy to monitor gauges while the mud splashes across the windshield. For power, all Wranglers have a powerful 3.6-liter V6 that hits its peak at 285 horsepower with 260 pound-feet of torque. If you want exceptionally short gearing with a more sophisticated transfer case, opt for the Rubicon trim. Though many industry observers expected an overhaul for 2017, the newest Wrangler still delivers new features and remains impressive. Image by Yucun Tang is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0

3 Reasons to Test Drive the Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade is a subcompact crossover that offers buyers a fun and adventurous SUV. It's worth taking a test drive for many reasons. For example, the Renegade is able to accommodate five adults in a cabin that is clean and uncluttered. The design cues are taken from iconic vehicles such as the Wrangler. Like its predecessors, the Renegade is fun to drive both on and off the road. Take a test drive of this crossover to appreciate its driving dynamics, ride, and handling. Discover Which Renegade is Right for You The Jeep Renegade is available in a variety of trim levels, each with its own distinct personality. A test drive will give you the chance to decide which model will best suit your needs. It will also allow you to note the differences between its Sport, Latitude, Limited, and Trailhawk variants. The Renegade Sport has 16-inch wheels, while Latitude models have upgraded alloy wheels. Latitude models also sport roof rails and fog lights. The Limited features 18-inch wheels and dual exhaust tips. If you need something with more serious road capability, then you should test drive the Trailhawk; it has 17-inch alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, tow hooks, skid plates, and a lifted stance. more Enjoy the Renegades Performance A test drive will give you an opportunity to decide which of the Renegade's available engines will work best for you. Renegade comes standard with a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 160 horsepower. It is available with a six-speed manual transmission and returns 31 mpg on the highway and 24 mpg in city driving. An optional 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine produces 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. This engine is optional on Sport and Latitude models; it is standard equipment on Limited and Trailhawk and is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Sport, Latitude, and Limited models are either four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. Trailhawk models are only available with the four-wheel drive powertrain. Experience the Space and Personality of the Interior While test driving, you'll have a chance to discover what many drivers of the Renegade have noticed: the interior of this little Jeep feels larger than expected, fitting up to five adults. On a test drive you can check out all of the features found in the cabin, from comfortable seats, to infotainment technology, to its cargo handling abilities. All Renegades are equipped with folding rear seats.

4 Differences Between the 2016 Jeep Cherokee and 2016 Grand Cherokee

Although both the 2016 Jeep Cherokee and 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee are both trail-rated sport utility vehicles that are equally at home on a dirt track or on main street, there are some key differences that set apart these two stablemates. The Jeep Cherokee is a capable and attractive small crossover sport utility vehicle that can carry five passengers. The Jeep Grand Cherokee also has seating for five, but as it is a midsize SUV, it provides more room for both people and cargo. Powertrain equipment further differentiate these two Jeep models. Powertrain The Jeep Cherokee offers a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and an optional 3.2-liter V6. The Cherokee's four-cylinder engine produces 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. Stepping up to the more powerful V6 rewards buyers with 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque, giving the Cherokee more than ample acceleration. In contrast to the Cherokee's optional V6 power, the Grand Cherokee boasts a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 295 horsepower as its standard power plant. For those who want more power, other engine options include a 5.7-liter V8, a 6.4-liter V8, and even a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel that makes 420 pound-feet of torque. more Performance Properly equipped, a 2016 Jeep Cherokee can hit 60 miles per hour from a stop in under eight seconds, a good showing for its competitive segment. While the trip to 60 takes under eight seconds for a Grand Cherokee as well, the Grand Cherokee is able to tow up to 7,400 pounds. This is a greater towing capacity than that of the Cherokee, which has an optional tow package with a towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. The Cherokee is able to achieve a combined fuel efficiency rating of 25 miles per gallon with its 2.4-liter motor, edging out the larger and comparatively thirstier Grand Cherokee. Interior and Cargo Capacity Although both can be had with a wide array of driver assistance technology, infotainment systems, and interior amenities, the Grand Cherokee does edge out its sibling with its luxury trim levels. That being the case, the cabin of the Cherokee is a nice place to spend some seat time on the way to adventure. The Cherokee is built on a smaller, lighter platform than the Grand Cherokee, but it still has 24.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The larger Grand Cherokee boasts 36.3 cubic feet of cargo space, making it just a bit more capable when it comes to packing in four friends and all the gear for a weekend camping trip. Two- and Four-Wheel Drive Options Although both can be had in four-wheel drive, the Cherokee comes standard with front wheel drive, while two-wheel drive examples of the Grand Cherokee are rear-wheel drive. When it comes to sending power to the wheel, these two vehicles do so with different engine options. The Cherokee's lighter weight and smaller displacement engines allows it to be more efficient, whereas the larger Grand Cherokee, with its V6 and optional V8, produces more power and has the capability that comes with it.

A Look at the Harley Davidson-Inspired Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade Hell's Revenge is a concept model created by Garage Italia Customs, an Italian tuning house. It's named after the difficult Hell's Revenge off-road trail in Moab, Utah, and it was inspired by Harley-Davidson motorcycles. These customized Jeep Renegades have the Milwaukee icon's badges on its doors. The Hell's Revenge was created to celebrate the 25th annual European H.O.G. Rally, a huge Harley-Davidson festival in Portoroz, Slovenia. Jeep was also this special event's main sponsor. Here's some more information about the Hell's Revenge and the Renegade. Exterior The paint job on the Renegade Hell's Revenge is similar to many Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It has four layers of matte black paint, and fluorescent red, orange, and yellow flames cover the front grille. They also decorate the hood, the front fenders, and most of the front doors. The car has a special clear coat designed for fluorescent paint, a custom front skid plate, a suspension lift, and unique dark-finished alloy wheels with custom BF Goodrich tires. LED spotlights are mounted low on each side of the A-pillars, the supports for the roof on either side of the windshield. more Interior The fluorescent flames are also on the dashboard, and the seats are wrapped in Foglizzo Nappa leather with black denim inserts. Jeep Renegades have large cabins with all the controls in the center stack, including an all-wheel drive lock and Selec-Terrain switches. The front and back seats are comfortable and spacious, and there's plenty of headroom. You can even choose removable My Sky roof panels that fit under the floor in the 18.5-cubic inch cargo area. Engine There were no changes to the Renegade Hell's Revenge powertrain or engine. The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo I-4 engine is standard. It produces 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and it comes in front- and all-wheel drive. A six-speed manual is the only available transmission. The 2.4-liter Tigershark I-4 is optional. It comes standard with Renegade Limited and Trailhawk models, and it's the same engine the Jeep Cherokee has. It offers 180 horsepower, 175 pound-feet of torque, and a new nine-speed automatic transmission. You can choose between two all-wheel-drive systems. Jeep Active Drive routes power to the rear wheels with a quick-connecting power transfer unit. The Renegade Trailhawk's Jeep Active Drive Low lets first gear double as a low range. Options The optional rear cross-path detection and ParkView rear back-up camera systems activate automatically when you shift your Renegade into reverse. A touch screen lets you see what's behind you and sensors detect oncoming traffic. The available forward collision warning system lets you know when you approach another vehicle too rapidly and adjusts your speed to help avoid a collision. You can also choose an optional LaneSense lane departure warning system to warn you if you drift out of your lane by accident. The Jeep Renegade Hell's Revenge led the parade of Harley motorcycles at the H.O.G. Rally. The Jeep Renegade is a great vehicle for a highway commute or off-road fun, and the Hell's Revenge has unique, attractive styling. Image by ilikewaffles11 is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Is a Hard Top or Soft Top Right for You?

A Jeep Wrangler is a fun way to ride, whether you use it to get around town or you take it off-roading. When you get a Jeep, you need to decide if you want a soft top or a hard top for when you need cover. Here are some features and benefits to both so you can decide which is best for you. Soft Top Pros A soft top is easy to put on and easy to take off. It also folds up making it easier to store away when you are not using it. A soft top also offers more options instead of just on or off. You can choose the bikini top to get some coverage while still having some open air, or you can cover the whole thing. A soft top is also less expensive than a hard top. If you are on a budget, this is a more affordable option. more Soft Top Cons Before choosing a soft top keep in mind where you are driving your Jeep. If it is a higher crime area, the soft top is not much of a theft deterrent. Even though the fabric is durable and can withstand a lot, a determined thief can still cut through it if they have the right tools. If you are looking for a quieter ride when heading down the highway, a soft top is  noisier than the hard top, and they don't provide much insulation. If you can only have one top and you want to drive your Jeep in the colder weather, you might want to go with the hard top. Hard Top Pros The hard top cover will last longer than the soft top since they are made from more durable materials. They are also more secure than the soft top. They provide more of a barrier between your things and a thief than the soft material and they might make someone think twice before they try to break in. A hard top will provide more insulation, keeping you warmer when the weather is cold and this insulation will also keep the noise down when you are driving down the highway. Hard Top Cons The expense of a hard top is something to take into consideration. They can cost a few thousand dollars, and while you definitely get your money's worth, it just might not be in the budget. You also want to make sure you have a place to store a hard top if and when you take it off. If you don't have a garage, keep in mind that the hard top takes up a lot of space. It doesn't fold down like the soft top so you'll need a place to keep it when you are not using it. Before choosing between a hard top and a soft top, take a test drive with each to see which one you like better. You should also keep your budget in mind and where you live. If you live in the north where it gets cold in the winter a hard top might be a good investment. Image by Nan Palmero is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Why Torque Is Essential for Off-Roading

So you have a new Jeep with the huge tires that you plan on taking off-roading. But what is it that makes a vehicle good at this extreme activity? One of the most important factors is the vehicle's torque. Here is what you need to know about torque and why it is important when it comes to off-road driving. What Is Torque? In the most basic terms, torque is the amount of power you have when it comes to turning. The torque on a car is what helps it to accelerate, which is important in an off-road vehicle if you are trying to power up and over hills or boulders. It is defined as a rotating force that may result in a motion but not necessarily. Torque is what allows you to keep up your momentum when driving over boulders without stressing out the engine. more What is the Difference Between Torque and Horsepower? The amount of torque at the wheels of a Jeep determines how fast the vehicle can reach a speed while the horsepower is how fast the vehicle can travel. The horsepower of a vehicle is arrived at by multiplying the torque by the RPM's and dividing it by 5,252. Torque is actually easier to measure than horsepower. How Do Horsepower and Torque Work Together? You need both torque and horsepower to get your vehicle up and going, and the two work together to keep you going. The torque will get the vehicle in motion, and once you are up and going if you are on flat ground the horsepower will help the truck maintain its speed. Which is Better for Off-Roading? As you can imagine, speed is not as important as acceleration when you are crawling over rocks or pushing through the sand and mud. Torque is more important because it provides the force you need to get through. A high low-end torque is one of the most important things to have when you need your Jeep to get you over uneven and rough surfaces. This also gives you more control over the vehicle when you are in an unsteady driving area. Why is Low-End Torque Important in Off-Roading? Low-end torque is the amount of torque at a low number of revs, usually between 2000 and 3000. This is different from high-end torque which is the amount of torque at a high revolution such as 4000 or 6000. Low-end is important in off-road driving because it keeps the engine from working too hard when you need to maintain your momentum over rough terrain without a lot of speed. A high low-end torque doesn't need a lot of revolutions per minute, and it means you don't need to press as hard on the throttle to keep the car moving forward. It is important to know the difference between torque and horsepower before you can understand why it is important for off-roading. If you are planning on getting into serious off-roading and are looking for a vehicle, a high low-end torque is important. "Jeep Life" by Dave Doe is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Getting Your Jeep Out of the Mud

Off-road driving is a popular activity with Jeep drivers, but there are times when you find yourself stuck. Whether you are driving in the mud on purpose or you get stuck there by accident, there are a few things you can do to get your Jeep out of a sticky situation. Move the Tires Slowly Keep in mind that the reason you are stuck is because your tires do not have any traction. First, move the steering wheel from side to side to create some extra room for the tires to move. Then press down gently on the accelerator to allow the weight of the vehicle to make the tires grip down on the mud. If you are driving an automatic, use the lowest gear, and if you are driving a manual transmission, use the highest gear. more Dig Out You can also create some room for the tires to grip by digging out the mud in front of the tires. Once you have some extra room, take the floor mat, a blanket or anything else you might have in the vehicle and wedge it under the tires. Slowly move the car forward until the tires can grip on to the item and get going out of the mud. If you don't have anything in the car you can also gather sticks and branches to put under the tires too. Deflate the Tires If you can, let just a small amount of air out of the tires. This  increases the  area where the tires meet the ground to help give you better traction. It will also help to give them some more room to move. If you do let some air out, remember to inflate them again to the proper pressure before going far. You also want to drive slowly at first to help get rid of the mud that might be stuck to the tires. Rock It Out If slow acceleration is not working try rocking it out. Put it in first and accelerate, then change it to reverse and accelerate. Repeat this no more than 8 times so you don't do any damage to the car. You can also try turning the tires while you accelerate to gain more traction. Always Drive Prepared If you are planning on going off-roading, then you should carry items in the car to help you get out if you get stuck. Keep a shovel, a hi-lift, a tree strap, and some chains in the Jeep with you. This gives you some options so you can try a few different things if one doesn't work. If you are prepared for different circumstances, you can get out of almost any muddy situation you find yourself in. Even if you are not planning on driving in the mud it is a good idea to keep some things in the vehicle in case of an emergency. If you are off-roading, plan to go with someone else who can help you get out. If you can't get out, you can always call for a tow. Image by kee_kj is licensed under CC BY 2.0

The 4 Coolest Jeep Limited Edition Models

2016 marks the 75th anniversary of the Jeep name, and the automaker has already begun to celebrate in dramatic fashion with the release of 23 limited edition models. Each of these models is sure to please even the most lukewarm Jeep fan, and you'll find solace in the fact that you'll drive a truly unique car. Out of 23 choices it's hard to pick the best ones, but here's a preview of some of the coolest of the year. 1. Renegade Dawn of Justice While this particular model (pictured above) doesn't have anything to do with the 75th anniversary, it's nonetheless one of the most interesting and coolest cars from Jeep. Inspired by the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" flick, the Dawn of Justice personifies the movie just as well as you'd expect. Its exterior and interior present a dark and mysterious appearance thanks to a monochrome black theme. It also features one-of-a-kind 18-inch gloss black wheels and an exclusive metal diamond shift knob, which when paired with the color scheme, will make your inner geek scream with delight. more 2. Wrangler Black Bear The journey into the 75th anniversary limited edition models begins with the Wrangler Black Bear. Even the name cries out with ferocity, and its performance matches it accordingly. The first added feature you'll notice is the hood, complete with a tasteful, yet original, topographic map paint job. Other unique specs of the Black Bear include black cloth sedoso seats with sport mesh fabric, sport bar grab handles, and iron-gray interior accents. If you're looking for something you can hold over the heads of regular Wrangler owners, this is truly it. 3. Wrangler Backcountry If you're not opposed to driving a Jeep with Extreme Purple as the color, the Backcountry is a great fit for off-road enthusiasts. It comes standard with off-road rock rails to prevent undercarriage damage, as well as off-road bumpers to push any obstacles out of the way. In addition, you'll get luxurious interior features like heated, leather-trimmed seating, a nine-speaker, all-weather Alpine premium audio system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. For bouldering, the Backcountry comes with a Tru-Lok locking rear axle to make sure you don't slip on your way up the rocky terrain. 4. Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary Edition The true Jeep fan will want to get their hands on the Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary Edition, as it will soon become a collector's item. However, it isn't just a gimmick. It has a plethora of features starting on the exterior such as beautiful gold and bronze paint accents, an updated look for both the body style and the headlights, and 20-inch aluminum bronze wheels. Inside, you'll have access to your smartphone through the vehicle's head unit, thanks to Uconnect, which comes with a vivid 8.4-inch touchscreen display. It also has heated seats and a heated steering wheel, as well as a single-pane sunroof that's perfect to recline, relax, and soak up the scenery. The 2016 lineup of limited edition Jeeps raises the bar to another level. While it's unlikely that this amount of options will become available soon, that just means you need to buy one now. Otherwise, you may have to wait another 25 years.

The 4 Best Jeeps for Off-Roading

There are only three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and Jeeps being remarkable off-road machines. With that said, one of the hardest decisions you'll ever have to make is which Jeep to choose for your next off-roading adventure. However, with several models up to the billing, you won't have to fret that you chose the wrong one. Here are just a few of the best Jeeps for handling the toughest terrain. 1. Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock Edition If you want to get your hands on the Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock Edition (pictured above), you'll have to hustle. Created as one of six limited edition Wranglers for Jeep's 75th anniversary, the Hard Rock will probably only be available for one year. However, if you do manage to land one of these beasts, there's no terrain you can't handle. From a technical standpoint, the Rubicon Hard Rock uses Jeep's patented Rock-Trac 4X4 technology, which allows for optimum torque to each wheel. This enables you to climb even steeper ground and boulders with little effort. It also comes in eight colors and sports a mind-blowing nine-speaker Alpine premium audio system. more 2. Renegade Trailhawk With a name like the Trailhawk, you know this Jeep means serious business. It's the only trim level of the Renegade to offer standard four-wheel drive, making it the quintessential choice for off-roading. It's also surprisingly quick and nimble despite its 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter, four-cylinder, so don't let that detract from its total package. The Trailhawk also boasts Selec-Terrain Traction Control, which allows you to switch handling according to the terrain. That means that snow, sand, mud, or rock is not really an obstacle for the Trailhawk. Plus, it comes with a roomy interior for up to four of your best friends. 3. Grand Cherokee Overland The Grand Cherokee has always been a favorite among off-roaders, not only for its ruggedness, but also because its fun to drive on the road. However, the Overland needs no roads. Using Jeep's Quadra-Lift Air Suspension, the Overland glides over terrain. The key to this handling is that air springs replace conventional coil springs, creating a smoother ride. With this system you'll have five driver-selectable modes including Park Mode, Aero Mode, Normal Ride, Off-Road I, and Off-Road II. This makes it comfortable and fun-to-drive whether you're on sand dunes or driving to work. 4. Compass High Altitude For under $20,000, you can still get a quality off-roader from Jeep, even if it doesn't hold the legendary status of the Grand Cherokee or the Wrangler. The High Altitude model packs in excellent interior features like leather-trimmed seats and a sunroof, but still gives you the gear to climb to the top of a mountain. With Freedom Drive I and Freedom Drive II, the Compass employs brake traction control and electronically-controlled coupling to help you grip the road. With these firmly in place, you won't have to worry about slippage as you careen up a rock wall. Off-roading is all the more fun if you have the proper vehicle to do it. With these Jeep models, you'll never have to worry about poor performance. "2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport off road" by zombieite is licensed under CC BY 2.0
