The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a unique model with distinctive yet stealthy exterior cues designed to attract new Jeep Grand Cherokee enthusiasts and customers.

With the Laredo X package as its starting point, the new production-intent concept Jeep Grand Cherokee combines a variety of exterior design changes to create a unique model with an aggressive, chrome and “blacked-out” look.

The vehicle’s grille surround appears in Black, and mesh grille texture in Platinum Chrome. A Platinum Chrome lower fascia applique completes the unique front-end appearance. Black headlamp bezels and a Black liftgate light-bar continues the “blacked-out” theme throughout the vehicle’s exterior.

The production-intent concept rides on 20-inch tires that surround one-of-a-kind Black-gloss aluminum wheels for Jeep.

Based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X package, the production-intent concept model includes standard leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, a 9-speaker 506 watt amp sound system with subwoofer, iPod/MP3 connectivity, Parkview™ rear back-up camera, ParkSense® rear-park assist system, Keyless Enter-N-Go, Chrysler Group’s Uconnect hands-free communications system, and more than 50 advanced safety and security features.

Jeep also announced that it has created an online contest for consumers to name the new production-intent Grand Cherokee concept. The person who chooses the winning name will have an opportunity to win a new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee here

Little Guy Worldwide recently premiered its new ruggedized line of teardrop camper trailers at the 2008 Moab Easter Jeep Safari.

According to Kip Czoch, the company’s factory rep at the weeklong event, “The Little Rough Rider defeated every obstacle, climbing off camber without scraping or bumping on either approach or breaking over angles on departure. This truly is a first in the recreational vehicle industry: a camper that can be taken off-road, just about anywhere that your 4-wheel drive can go. Of course, with a minimum of 19 inches of water-fording capability, and 31 inch all-terrain tires, it’s not hard to see how the Little Rough Rider would eat up the brush and the trails.”

Sweetest Day is getting a sugar rush this year, courtesy of the Jeep brand. Seven sweet toothed consumers created a scene today when they licked their way through more than 700 pounds of chocolate in the “Sweetest Day the Jeep Way” challenge in Cleveland. After licking her way through a chocolate-covered Jeep grill and searching through more than 45,000 pieces of wrapped candy, Anne Gemkow of Chicago tasted victory, winning an all-new 2008 Jeep Liberty 4×4 with Sky Slider roof.

“I never thought my sweet tooth would actually come in handy,” said Gemkow. “I’ve always been a huge Jeep fan and I can’t wait to cruise around town in my new Jeep Liberty.”
