Stellantis vendor briefing hints at midsize Ram, Jeep Recon, Dodge Stealth

With dealers returning to normal lifetime soon after Stellantis’ Supplier Business Meeting 2023 in Las Vegas very last week, bits of intel are escaping. Among studies in Automotive News, Mopar Insiders, and a now-deleted Reddit thread that Carscoops dissected, we can make out rough information about a couple of solutions on the way for Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram shops throughout the country. We will start out with Chrysler, which acquired the minimum notice during the function. The Pentastar, starved of merchandise as if it had been Stellantis’ edition of Jaguar, seems to have a refreshed Pacifica minivan in the works and proceeds to produce its first EV, owing by 2025. That is the alpha and the omega there, at least publicly.

Jeep’s producing moves on a number of fronts. The Jeep Recon forum got shots of an electrified concept brought to the conference, the Recon Moab 4xe (pictured). It seems to be like an upsized Renegade, its tire dimensions believed to be 285/70R17, identical as the stock Wrangler Rubicon. Head to the thread to see the relaxation of the photographs. 

The end of the Cherokee is but a hiatus, Visual appearance-wise, a new variation in the will work is reported to be a smaller sized edition of the Grand Cherokee L which is about the exact sizing as the outgoing product. When it launches in late 2024 as a 2025MY SUV, it could debut with a new identify as well as hybrid and electrical powertrains. The Grand Cherokee L, meanwhile, will get a mid-cycle refresh in 2025.  

Introducing to info earlier noted about the 2024 Jeep Wrangler selection, the 2024 Gladiator is claimed to get a Willys trim with upgraded spec. Mopar Insiders had cited interaction to dealers that the Wrangler Willys would strengthen capacity many thanks to increased ground clearance and what is anticipated to be a gripper off-highway wheel and tire package. At the seller meeting, Jeep reps seemingly said the Gladiator Willys would get large fenders, a locking rear axle, and 33-inch tires. The existing Gladiator Willys fits a Trac-Lok confined-slip rear differential and 32-inch mud terrain tires. The tow rating for the Gladiator selection could see an improve from 7,650 pounds to 7,700 kilos.

Higher than that, the Wagoneer variety will expand with a 4xe variation imagined to appear by next calendar year.

In the Dodge camp, the massive information would be that the up coming Charger would not only be electric. Manufacturer reps allegedly told sellers the motor vehicle, which will arrive as a four-doorway irrespective of the interest lavished on the two-doorway thought generating the rounds, will get an internal combustion engine option. In simple fact, reviews say it will get two, the two the Typical Output (SO) and Superior Output (HO) versions of the new 3.-liter Hurricane inline-6 available a spot in the motor bay.

All those people content to see retired manufacturer names appear back to lifestyle will be thrilled to hear the Dodge Stealth is rumored to be a matter again in the next handful of years. It would not be the sporting activities coupe of old, although, but the new moniker for the remade Dodge Durango. The upcoming-gen of the 3-row SUV is claimed to retain the a few-row structure wrapped in a “drastically unique” body known as much more along the lines of “what persons are wanting for.” 

Ram could have made the greatest excitement by exhibiting a midsize pickup notion. A Ram dealer explained to Automotive Information, “”We’re heading to be back in that [midsize] match,” and, “Without the need of a question, it seems like a Ram.” Descriptions categorize it as possibly far more of a way of living pickup, Mopar Insiders characterizing experiences as the midsizer’s “sporty design” focused on the U.S. current market and “geared in the direction of consumers who take pleasure in pickups but do not necessarily make use of them as operate truck.”

Lastly, the Ram 1500 Revolution battery-electrical pickup is said to get two assortment possibilities, one heading 350 miles on a charge, the other 500 miles. If the reported 14,000-pound tow rating hits the sector, the Ram could open up a new front in pickup to score battles, this time on the electrical facet.
