Every year Mopar creates some very cool custom vehicles for the annual SEMA show, and this year is no exception. Mopar created seven impressive buildings for the 2021 SEMA show.
You may remember that Mopar made fun of us with five concept sketches a few weeks ago, and we made some predictions about it. Well, some of us are right and some are very wrong. These are the five vehicles that were teased, and two unexpected vehicles.
The first is RAM 1500 Outdoorsman Concept. Judging from the sketch, we think this may be the TRX version. Although that was wrong, we did get the car camping/adventure truck theme right. This is the 2021 Mopar concept that resonates most with us, because it is ready for outdoor adventures.
Based on the RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4×4, the bed is equipped with a RamBox. The concept is mounted on a Mopar 2-inch lift equipped with FOX shock absorbers and 35-inch tires. The customized interior not only looks good, but also provides a customized expandable workbench for the front seat passengers and a concept RamVac car vacuum cleaner under the rear seat.
Adventure magic is behind. The RAM 1500 Outdoorsman concept has a two-height Mopar bed frame system that can deliver supplies to the construction site or kayaks to the river at any time. In the truck compartment, the Expertec bed slide system has dual rolling panels, each of which can carry up to 2,000 pounds (which will far exceed the truck's GVWR). The bed slide is perfect for fixing equipment such as Dometic refrigerators and mountain bikes.
Although the blue accent on this concept made us believe that it would have some kind of electrified power system, we went astray. The RexRunner concept car uses a standard TRX power system with a power of 702 horsepower. This concept is the ultimate fully decorated, desert runner-style RAM TRX of the Mopar version.
The RAM 1500 TRX RexRunner concept car uses 37-inch tires with all Mopar TRX parts, such as RAM bars, bed-type spare tire holders, etc.
Custom metal skid plates and interesting graphics make this truck stand out from the crowd, but the interior is probably the coolest part of this concept. It combines the sporty luxury of TRX with the robust function of RAM Tradesman. Obtain one-piece door panels and vinyl flooring from Tradesman.
In this concept, we were correct about the top of the safari style, but did not notice that it is actually a three-row stretched Wrangler. The Jeep Wrangler Overlook concept car is a four-door Sahara that has been stretched 12 inches to accommodate the third row of seats. The customized top is 5 inches high to create more headroom and provide panoramic views of the safari park for all seven passengers.
Of course, this luxury-oriented custom jeep is also equipped with a large number of Jeep Performance Parts (JPP). Think of a 2-inch lift, tubular side pedals, steel front bumpers, new off-road lights, and so on.
The custom rear bumper feels very good to the touch, as do the Katzkin leather-wrapped steering wheel and dashboard. Add some Sahara bronze stitching, hexagonal suede seat inserts, and some custom embroidered jeep logos, and you will have a bright-looking interior.
As we suspected, this is a new Wrangler 4xe hybrid jeep with the entire Mopar catalog on it. Includes some new JPP 5-inch lights with new A-pillar brackets that work around plug-in port doors on fenders.
In addition to a large number of regular JPP Wrangler parts, the concept has also been specially adjusted for 4xe Wrangler. Think of a 2-inch lift with FOX shock absorbers, which allows 37-inch BFG KM3 tires to be mounted on wheels with JPP lock rim function.
The list of mods for this concept is very long, almost every JPP part is thrown out.
We guessed this because Mopar took the 1967 Kaiser Jeep M725 military ambulance and threw their new lights and some other JPP products at it. But it did not provide new parts for old cars, but converted old cars into new ones to show off the new parts of new cars.
The Kaiser Jeep M725 concept car uses 40-inch tires and has a 485-horsepower 392 HEMI V8 crate motor under the hood. To further improve its performance, the frame has been strengthened and the leaf springs have been replaced by heavy link/coil suspensions.
Inside this Kaiser concept car is a low-back Wrangler seat wrapped in canvas. A very cool ammunition box center console helps to maintain the retro style in the interior with modern gauges and screens.
At the back, the entire roof popped out. Together with foldable side panels and rear doors, this concept becomes Mopar's mobile car.
The trailer sketch does not hint at the construction of the Grand Cherokee, but we are happy to see this. This new three-row SUV provides off-road capabilities and urban peripheral functions.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L Breckenridge concept car is a slightly modified machine, mainly for styling exercises. But make no mistake-this machine is ready to go uphill with your whole family or a group of friends this winter. The Thule roof box on the Mopar roof rail will hold the gears, while the custom interior will tow everyone comfortably.
To complete this construction, Mopar includes a set of customized Jeep brand Olivet hard-shell suitcases and a set of atmospheric blue comfortable pillows.
Why don't you like modern muscle cars with classic looks and interesting names? The 2021 Mopar Dodge Challenger Holy Guacamole concept is based on the 2020 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody 50th Anniversary Edition. The theme of the architecture is the return of the 1970s.
This version features custom "Rotten Avocado" paint, "Gold School" Shaker hood scoops, side stripes of the same color, and externally staggered 20-inch Forgeline wheels. There are a lot of wooden board decorations, green/yellow grids, and some other retro styles of the 1970 Challenger.
The Mopar coiled suspension lowering kit and Mopar cold air intake help improve the performance of this already very powerful muscle car. The 392 HEMI V8 under the hood undoubtedly made all the correct sounds in this car.
