Chrysler Pacifica Grizzly Peak Concept: The Ultimate Minivan for Trail Seekers

Adventure Has a New Name: Grizzly Peak. Chrysler just rewrote the rules of van life with the debut of the Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept at Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado. Designed for overlanders, weekend warriors, and van-life enthusiasts, this new concept reimagines the classic minivan as an off-road-ready, go-anywhere adventure vehicle—without sacrificing comfort, space, or the innovation that made the Pacifica America’s best-selling minivan. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of sleeping under the stars without giving up the comforts of home, the Grizzly Peak might just be your next dream vehicle. 

Built for the Wild: Suspension, Tires, and More 

Chrysler started with the already capable Pacifica Limited AWD model and dialed it up for trail duty: 

• A suspension lift—2.75 inches in the front and 2.5 inches in the rear—gives this minivan a commanding stance and the clearance to explore rugged terrain. 
• 31-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires wrap around 18-inch Foreshadow wheels to provide serious off-road grip. 
• Add Mopar splash guards, a paint-protective wrap, and Baja Designs LP4 LED fog lamps, and you’ve got a minivan that’s ready to leave the pavement behind. 

The Arktos matte-finish exterior is accented by rugged Foreshadow trim, and practical additions like a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform roof rack, TYRI LED lights, and an ARB retractable awning make this concept more than just show—it’s built for use. 

Reimagined Interior: From Family Hauler to Basecamp 

Inside, Chrysler’s design team transformed the Pacifica into a fully capable overland rig: 

•   
• The third-row seats are gone, replaced with a custom cargo floor panel that’s perfect for hauling gear or setting up a sleeping platform. 
• A second set of tie-downs behind the second row provides even more flexibility. 
• The Katzkin leather seats are finished in a custom Cement Gray with Liquid Titanium accents, and bright orange seat belts add a punch of personality. 
• Functional upgrades include a 115-volt / 450-watt power outlet, stackable Mopar totes, and a Mopar roadside first-aid kit—everything you need for life off-grid. 

Whether you’re using it as a basecamp for climbing, mountain biking, or simply escaping into nature, the Grizzly Peak concept proves you don’t need to compromise on space or features to get there. 

Not Just a Concept—A Conversation Starter 

Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell summed it up best: 

“We’ve been following van life for years, and we know adventurers really value the versatility the Pacifica delivers… This concept is a test bed, and we’re excited to get feedback from van-life adventurers.” 

The Grizzly Peak isn’t just a design exercise—it’s a conversation with a passionate and growing community of travelers who see the road as optional. Chrysler is actively listening to what adventurers want, and this concept is a sign they’re serious about turning the Pacifica into more than just a family hauler. 

Van Life Meets All-Terrain Capability 

The Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept is a bold reminder that the minivan can be much more than a suburban shuttle. With rugged capability, thoughtful features, and Chrysler’s signature innovation, it’s a compelling vision of what the future of van life could look like. 

Will this concept become a production model? Time will tell. But if the response from Overland Expo is anything to go by, there’s a growing community ready to pack up, head out, and explore—Grizzly Peak style.
