Keep has released a lot of retro themed vehicles for the Easter Jeep Safari. It’s usually used to show off what after market products they have and to celebrate their heritage. This doesn’t really mean a heritage jeep is imminent. Here’s some past examples.

Exactly, really if you want to say anyone is copying anyone, I give you the Jeep Chief from 2017!

Jeep just revealed a new Wrangler with Heritage styling like the Bronco Heritage.

It has the white wheels, retro color, and even the seats are the same shade of brown leather like Bronco Heritage Limited.

It is not yet confirmed if Jeep will release this as a production model, however, the success of Bronco Heritage leads us to believe they will one day offer a similar Heritage trim.

I'm not seeing much "heritage" there aside the name.
Jeep never builds any of the Moab teasers.
I would have paid in full for the J12, Mighty FC on portal axles and the M715 rendition.

Yeah....these are Moab/Easter concepts they come out every year, that vehicle will never see production

Let's get one thing straight, Ford benchmarked the Bronco to the Jeep and copied a ton of it. So....I think it's probably smart to back off Jeep ripping off Ford.

well I think jeeps are super ugly to begin with, but changing things up and adding to the competition will keep ford from getting lazy

My first vehicle was a 1946 Willys CJ-2A (CJ = Civilian Jeep). I thought it was beautiful.

well we all things we like that others don't. People have told me they don't like how the bronco looks. I think ford nailed it.

Will it perform offroad without 37x12.5's though?

Its not like the jeep has really differed from the old willys and CJ's. Its been the same shape for the most part, so its a bit silly doing a "heritage" jeep. I'd be impressed if they did a throw back to a YJ with the square headlights .

I think the Jeep does the retro look better.

While I am sure I’m in the minority here, I think the white trim on the Heritage Broncos is odd….it’s overdone and trying way too hard.

Having said that I’d rather have a root canal than actually drive any distance in a Jeep penalty box.

That jeep dash would make me dizzy.
Also, the seats look like grandpa's rocker recliner.

That jeep dash hounds tooth pattern scared me so much I will probably sleep with the lights on tonight.

Agree on overkill with the white. Many original broncos came with silver- not white grills, which IMHO look much better. The tops should be white but not much else.

Speaking of a Jeep dash...

A lot of people hated the YJ because it deviated away from the CJ line (it was the 1st Wrangler after Chrysler purchased Jeep) and it had square headlights.. I bought one in 1987 and for the most part, loved it.. Well, other than the dash.. That dash... YIKES!!!!!

That’s what killed it for me, all the damn white lol especially the dash
