Jeep Just Showed Six Wild Moab Concepts and None Are Electric

Jeep heads back to Moab with a fresh set of concepts, using the Easter Jeep Safari to show what its current models can do when pushed further. This marks 60 years of the event, and for 2026, Jeep brings six builds shaped around overlanding, rock crawling, and trail work.

One detail is hard to miss. There is no electrification here. All six concepts rely on traditional powertrains, which points to Jeep’s current direction.

Jeep Anvil 715

The Jeep Anvil 715 leans into classic Jeep design. It is based on the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and takes inspiration from the old SJ series. The front end is boxier, with steel bumpers and a fixed roof with skylights. Under the hood sits a 6.4-liter V8. It also gets larger tires, an onboard air system, and a cabin set up for long trips with storage and off-road mapping.

The XJ Pioneer brings the Cherokee name back into focus. It stays close to the 1984 original, with chrome bumpers and simple lighting, but mixes in modern touches like carbon fender flares and larger wheels. A small lift, rock rails, and 33-inch all-terrain tires make it trail-ready, while the interior keeps an old-school feel.

The Gladiator build focuses on function. It is designed as a support truck for trail maintenance. It runs 37-inch tires, a 3-inch lift, and a full cargo system in the bed with storage, lighting, and a sliding tray. Power comes from the 3.6-liter V6.

Jeep Gladiator

The Jeep Buzzcut takes a more playful approach. Based on a two-door Wrangler, it stands out with bright orange paint, a chopped roof, and flat fenders. It also gets the full off-road setup, including a lift, 37-inch tires, a winch, a snorkel, and extra lights. Inside, the rear bench is replaced with storage, and it adds performance seats to match the theme.

The Grand Wagoneer Commander goes in a different direction. It mixes luxury with off-road gear. Blacked out exterior, 20-inch wheels, 35-inch tires, and roof-mounted lights. Inside, it keeps all the comfort and tech from the standard model.

Last but not least is the Wrangler Laredo. This one goes in a different direction. Manual gearbox, 3.6 liter V6, and a focus on a more raw driving feel. It gets a lift, 37-inch tires, and an onboard air system. Inside, it uses vinyl flooring and vintage-style cloth.

This set of builds shows Jeep sticking to what it knows best. Big engines, simple setups, and a clear focus on real off-road use. It also shows where the brand still feels most confident.
