Just a few days separate us from the start of this year’s SEMA event, a show that promises to be more spectacular than ever. For three days, the Las Vegas Convention Center will become the playground of carmakers and tuners in a display that only happens once a year.
A little late to the party as far as revealings go, Mopar gave on Wednesday (October 30) the first details of what it has cooked up for Vegas. In all, 14 Mopar-bred vehicles will be on the floor and, as usual, pickup trucks are the main course.

And two of them just got detailed.

Taking inspiration from the Ram 1500, Mopar came up with the Rebel Off the Grid (OTG). The pickup is described as an overlander packing a 3.0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel engine with “exceptional low-end torque and extended driving range.”

What makes it special though are the Mopar accessories, which include a front bumper with integrated winch, a larger grille, step assist rock rails, and a rear bumper adapted from the Ram 1500 Tradesman.

There are even a bed rack system on top of the truck bed, a retractable battery-powered cooler, and a kitchen unit with a gas-powered stove.

The second concept detailed by Mopar is the Lowliner, a heavily modified 1968 Dodge D200-series painted in Candied Delmonico Red. It brings to SEMA a substantially lowered height and longer body, and is powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins diesel engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission.

All the parts that went into remaking the pickup scream new, from the stamped steel-like wheels to the custom air suspension. There are also elements that scream nothing, as there are no door handles, badging, fuel-filler cap and radio antenna.

The full details on both concepts can be found in the press release section below. More on Mopar’s cars for SEMA are available in the photo gallery above.
