As part of the global debut of the 2025 Nissan Murano, Nissan hosted a media event at the Southall Inn and Farm in Franklin, TN. During this event, journalists had the opportunity to test the off-road capabilities of the Nissan Rogue Rock Creek – a rugged variant of Nissan’s popular crossover SUV – on the property’s natural terrain trails.
The event kicked off with a warm welcome at the vehicle staging area, where Gordinier Group introduced the standout features of the Nissan Rogue Rock Creek. Our team then played a vital role as lead drivers and spotters, guiding participants through the challenging trails and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
The journalists put the Rogue Rock Creek through its paces, traversing tricky hills, rocky paths, and steep inclines. The vehicle demonstrated impressive all-terrain performance, thanks to features like increased ground clearance, Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and specialized off-road tires. Throughout the test drives, the journalists were able to experience firsthand how Rogue Rock Creek’s capabilities elevate it beyond a traditional crossover, making it a compelling option for adventure-seeking customers.
Feedback from the participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many impressed by the vehicle’s off-road prowess and everyday practicality. Gordinier Group’s expert guidance and event management played a key part in delivering an exceptional experience for the media attendees.

Attendees were impressed by the vehicles’ ability to conquer obstacles, steep inclines, and rocky paths while our seasoned drivers shared insights about their innovative technology and design.
