Jeep Bob Concept

At its 2022 Jeep Easter Safari event, Jeep introduced a concept, off-road vehicle that has power and off-roading good looks. They call it the Jeep Bob Concept or Bob for short.  The vehicle is diesel powered and is said to be able to climb just about any incline or rock challenge in the off-road environment.  Using the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon as a base, Jeep designers cut off a foot in length, removed the doors and added a canvas roof over the top of the protective roll cage to maximize the vehicle performance off-road.  They positioned the vehicle on a set of 40-inch off-roading tires, gave it a 3-inch lift, steel bumpers, a vented carbon hood, big LED fog lights and a great paint job.  This vehicle is winning great automotive reviews for its looks, power and ruggedness, even though it is not electric.

Tech Specs

Bob is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged Eco-Diesel V-6 engine connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission.  The vehicle is equipped for easier handling in difficult off-road conditions.  Bob has a customized off-road suspension system that lifts the vehicle, Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 axles front and rear supported by King Coils and Bypass shocks and it is calibrated for low-RPM shifts, all for easier off-roading.  Bob is a concept vehicle, but a number of automotive experts are so impressed with its power and good looks, they are urging Jeep and its parent company Stellantis to put it into production for off-roaders to buy and enjoy.  For more news stories like this, go to Future Modes of Travel 2020's & 2030's
