If you thought Jeep was going to bring these vehicles to New York, you are wrong! These six (one Grand Cherokee and five Wranglers) new concepts will be at the 47th Annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari that starts on March 23, and were created as a collaboration between Jeep and Mopar to showcase their new performance parts.
First we got to know what Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand had to say:
“Off-road enthusiasts will be pleasantly surprised by the range of Jeep models we’re bringing to this year’s Easter Jeep Safari,” “We go to this extremely popular event in Moab each year to showcase the latest production vehicles from Jeep, as well as a host of new customization and personalization ideas. In doing so, we connect with and receive a tremendous amount of feedback from our most loyal customers.”
Than it was time for Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand to say what he thought about these concepts:
“We created our new Jeep Performance Parts portfolio for extreme off-road Jeep fanatics,” “Jeep owners who are passionate about customization, performance and personalization will have a long menu of Jeep Performance Parts from which to choose.”
