Moab , Utah is the ultimate destination for off - roaders . It has epical track , challenging obstacles and improbable scene , which is what reap thousands for hiking , biking and four - wheeling . And spring is the idealistic time to dust off those four - wheelers ( just to get them all dusty again ) , and forJeepowners , the annualEaster Jeep Safarievent is considered the " initiative day " of the off - roading time of year .
The upshot traditionally takes place the week before Easter ( hence the name ) , and this year ’s Easter Jeep Safari marks the 53rd in its account . It was started in 1967 by the Moab Chamber of Commerce and has turn into a full - blown issue that lasts nine days . But the primary attraction this year could be the long - awaited launch of theJeep Gladiator .
The 2020 Gladiator is a beast of a hybrid Jeep / truck . It feature a truck bed , set it squarely into the super competitive compact / midsize pickup category . That definitely makes the Gladiator a niche fomite for certain , with a price that come out at most $ 6,000 more than a base horse wrangler .
But Jeep is long accustomed to provide to its clientele ’s unique demands and prospect . That ’s why Jeep sends an official company relegating to the Easter Jeep Safari each class , along with special , never - before - seenconcept vehiclestailored specifically for issue attendees , those hard - core off - roaders who live and respire the Jeep brand name .
This twelvemonth is no dissimilar , and as usual , the concept cars being unveiled at the Jeep Safari are combination of restored vintage awesomeness and modern characteristic and accessories . The biggest difference , is , this twelvemonth ’s conception vehicle aredifferent twisting - offs ofthe young Gladiator ( see image above ) .
The new Jeep Gladiator deliver a solid topic for the 2019 Easter Jeep Safari concepts , and it ’ll be hard to top these for 2020 . No doubt Jeep ’s talented team of designers is already brainstorm for next year .
