Chrysler Might Actually Build An Off-Road Minivan

Last summer, Chrysler introduced an overlander based on the Pacifica minivan. The brand called it the Grizzly Peak concept, which featured an assortment of off-road-oriented upgrades. Now, Chrysler might actually put it into production.

According to MoparInsiders, sources close to the publication revealed that the automaker is considering putting the concept into production. A final decision hasn't been made yet, but there is reportedly internal support for the off-road Pacifica.  

The Chrysler Pacifica Grizzle Peak concept debuted with 2.8-inch front and 2.5-inch rear suspension lifts, 31-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels, and all-wheel drive. The automaker also included aftermarket overlanding accessories such as the Rhino-Rack roof storage rack, auxiliary lighting, and the retractable ARB awning.

Inside, the automaker removed the third-row seats, expanding the storage capability. Chrysler also added orange seat belts, Katzkin leather seats, and a Cement Gray and Liquid Titanium color scheme.  

At the time of the van’s reveal, former Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell said the brand was "excited to get feedback from the van-life adventurers." But she is no longer leading the brand. Dodge CEO Matt McAlear took over as Chrysler’s boss in March.
