The manufacturers have give you seven automobiles, 4 from Jeep, two from Ram and one from Dodge. A few of them exhibit the present Mopar catalog and potential future elements, whereas others are simply actually cool customs. Let’s test them out.
Jeep Wrangler Overlook
We’re starting off with perhaps the most interesting of the concepts on display, the Jeep Wrangler Overlook. And you will discover proper off the bat that it is longer than your common Wrangler Unlimited. It is really a full foot longer. And it would not simply add cargo house, it provides passenger house. There is a third row of seats within the Overlook. These seats additionally necessitated the safari-style customized rear roof.

We would not have thought a three-row Wrangler can be one thing that may attain manufacturing, and it is nonetheless unlikely. However, this seems actually good. And when Land Rover already affords a 3rd row within the Defender, and is working on a stretched version, we’re beginning to surprise if Jeep ought to take into consideration an much more stretched Wrangler.
Kaiser Jeep M725
Next up is this year’s resto-mod from the Stellantis crew. They found an old Kaiser Jeep M725 military ambulance and did a couple of issues to make it a extra fashionable, go-anywhere tremendous tailgater.

There are a few custom parts that could preview future JPP offerings. Those include the vinyl floor pieces and a rack on the dashboard for mounting things like your phone, a camera or other devices. It’s rather reminiscent of a similar feature on the Ford Bronco. Different customized touches embrace the paint scheme, rear cargo space and tailgate-mounted air compressor.

The Holy Guacamole Dodge Challenger exhibits that some minor modifications can go a great distance in making a novel automotive. It is painted in a matte inexperienced dubbed “Rotten Avocado” and paired with ghost stripes and a pale gold (“Gold College”) shaker scoop.

The true spotlight is the inside. Persevering with with the retro theme are some superb inexperienced and yellow plaid inserts. And the wooden trim harks again to the vinyl wooden accents of old-school Mopar muscle automobiles.
Ram 1500 Outdoorsman
Surprisingly, the more interesting of the Rams headed to SEMA is not the TRX. As a substitute, we’re fairly intrigued by the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman that Mopar put collectively. The reason being all its customized idea elements that we might see being some actually fascinating future equipment. A few of them appear impressed by the newest Ford F-150 such because the work high on the tailgate that has unit conversions and may settle for clamps for bits of wooden or different objects. Inside, there is a work house that matches to the fold-down seat again on the bench seat. One thing extra unique is the built-in vacuum cleaner known as RamVac hidden below the rear seat.
