The Stellantis parts division recently released a set of five computerized and heavily filtered images of what appear to be five different vehicles: three Jeeps and two Rams. 

Here’s our take on Mopar’s teasers: 

Hybrid Ram 1500 TRX

The Ram 1500 TRX seen kicking up digital dirt in the above rendering has set off alarms in the e-community, with many pointing out the blue grille lettering and blue tow hooks, which have been included on the Ram 1500 with eTorque hybrid assist and the Jeep Wrangler 4xe PHEV, respectively. Others are optimistic that the grille and vent visible in the rendering are indications of some other type of Hellcat-powered, 702-horsepower pickup. But we can’t look past the blue cues. Team Hybrid all the way.

Jeep military restomod

Anyone else feeling the sudden urge to stand and salute? This army green, vintage style Jeep has a highly similar front end to the 1960s ‘Kaiser’ Gladiator M715 military vehicles that were used as ambulances, among other things. Mopar has added a set of spot lights and some bumper lettering that reads “B33RM3.” Bonus points for anyone who can figure out what that’s about, drop it in the comments. 

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe

Mopar led the release with this image looking over the front left fender of a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe hybrid — identifiable by its charging port — and onto a wintery Northern lights landscape. The rendering shows a hood-mounted spot light and Jeep Performance Part badge, indicating more off-road additions elsewhere on the vehicle. 

Jeep Overlander

Mopar wouldn’t raise the roof and install safari windows for a run-about-town variant of the Wrangler, so we’re expecting this shadowy figure to be designed for the outdoors. Some sort of camper, perhaps? 

Ram camper

The second Ram product looks to be a mostly typical 1500 with some decal work down the sides and a few Mopar accessories like a storage rack in the bed. This image suggests Mopar may bring a couple vehicles to use as canvases upon which to display some of their more noteworthy parts. 

SEMA 2021 will take place in Las Vegas beginning on November 2 until November 5, 2021.
