Jeep® Unveils Vacationeer Concept For 2024 Easter Jeep Safari

Jeep® enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike were treated to a spectacle at this year’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, as Mopar’s Jeep® Performance Parts (JPP) brand unveiled its latest creation: the Grand Wagoneer Vacationeer Concept, a premium SUV blending comfort, capability, and nostalgia in one formidable package. Although this year’s showcase featured four vehicles instead of the usual seven, the Vacationeer Concept more than made up for the numbers with its compelling design and feature set.

Exterior Design – 

The Grand Wagoneer Vacationeer Concept boasts a refreshing Spearminted exterior, catching the eye with its distinct color choice. But it’s not just about looks; this SUV means business on and off the road. Equipped with 35-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires and 18-inch x 9-inch bead grip 701 Method racing wheels, it offers a natural 1.5-inch lift for enhanced off-road performance. Custom bodyside flare extensions and larger wheel openings contribute to its aggressive stance, ensuring it stands out even in rugged terrain.

Interior Comfort and Innovation – 

Inside, the Vacationeer Concept offers a luxurious and spacious retreat for both driver and passengers. The custom-trimmed and expanded interior space exudes premium comfort, with a nod to classic Jeep heritage through unique bodyside woodgrain graphics reminiscent of the iconic Wagoneer models from decades past.

To cater to adventurous spirits, the stock second- and third-row seats have been removed to make way for the custom carbon-fiber RedTail Overland Skyloft mounted on the roof. This climate-controlled oasis provides sleeping space for two, perfect for starry nights in the great outdoors. A custom weatherproof pass-thru entrance ensures easy access from the interior to the Skyloft, while a bed-lined cargo floor in the rear offers practicality and durability, ideal for storing outdoor gear or seeking refuge from the elements.

Performance and Power – 

Underneath the hood lies the heart of the Grand Wagoneer Vacationeer Concept: a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane high-output (H/O) I6 engine, delivering an impressive 510 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque. Whether conquering challenging trails or cruising along highways, this powerhouse ensures an exhilarating driving experience, promising both performance and efficiency for any journey.

Collaboration and Inspiration – 

Notable in this concept is the collaboration with renowned fashion designer Kiel James Patrick, whose passion for Jeep Wagoneer shines through in the front Tupelo leather seats. Featuring custom fabric inserts with classic Jeep vehicles, the design pays homage to the brand’s rich heritage while infusing a touch of New England-inspired charm.

In Patrick’s own words, “The Jeep Wagoneer has been more than just a vehicle to me; it has literally been part of the fabric of my life.” His deep appreciation for Jeep’s legacy is evident in the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail showcased in the Vacationeer Concept.

With the Grand Wagoneer Vacationeer Concept, Jeep continues to push the boundaries of innovation and adventure, offering a compelling blend of comfort, capability, and nostalgia. Whether exploring rugged terrain or embarking on cross-country journeys, this premium SUV stands ready to make every moment memorable.
