October 4-7, 2018

Gordinier Group drivers traveled to Anaheim, California to kick off the 2018 fall auto show season at the Orange County International Auto Show.

Despite to warm, sunny Socal weather, Camp Jeep brought in record numbers this year! We had long lines at the Jeep track from bell-to-bell all four days and were able to leave great impressions on thousands of interested guests.

We were back inside the Anaheim Convention Center this year, right where all of the action is. While most of the experiential ride and drive events are located outside, Camp Jeep typically runs the proverbial table inside and this year was no different. With the redesigned 2018 Wrangler Rubicon in the rotation, guests can’t seem to resist giving the simulated off-road course a go.

Also on tap at this years OCIAS were the new 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk and Compass Trailhawk, as well as 2018 Grand Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawk models. The course featured the 18′ Jeep Mobile Mountain, Trail-Rated Pass, Breakover, Stairs and Sidehill Wedge properties. These obstacles gave guests a 5-minute thrill ride while they learned about each vehicle’s specs and what makes them best-in-class on and off of the road.

Camp Jeep Headlines at Cal Jam 2018

October 5-6, 2018

Camp Jeep piggybacked onto Cal Jam, a giant, Jeep-sponsored music festival in San Bernadino, CA. With headliner Foo Fighters (and featuring other huge acts such as Iggy Pop and Tenacious D), we knew that we would have the perfect audience/demographic to deliver an authentic, on-brand experience to.

Given the gorgeous mountain backdrop of Glen Helen Raceway Park, it made sense for this Jeep off-road course to be built from mostly organic materials. We supplemented the Jeep mobile mountain with formed dirt articulation mounds, berms, off-camber tilts, a side-hill wedge, and a boulder pile. Building organic off-road tracks is one of Gordinier Group’s core competencies and this course didn’t disappoint.

Both days of the festival saw guests lining up in droves to experience rides in the new 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as well as the new 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and the new Jeep Compass Trailhawk.

Gordinier Group pro drivers were behind the wheel, navigating the new Jeep vehicles through the extreme obstacles while delivering product info along the way. Feedback from the guests was great at this event.

Hats off to the Jeep and FCA for continuing to sniff out big events with just the right mix of interested guests.

2017 FCA Fleet Preview at Motor City Casino

By Shannon Gordinier

June 5-7

Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles hosted 250 of its top fleet customers and others at its national fleet preview at the Motor City Casino in Detroit.

Attendees listened to a presentation of the lineup and were able to ride along in the vehicles with Gordinier Group drivers. This was a special opportunity – not only was the Camp Jeep mobile off-road course on site (stocked with new Jeep Compass), but there was also a street drive featuring rides in Dodge Hellcat Charger/Challenger, Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and the rest of the FCA lineup. It’s not every day that event guests get to take a ride in vehicles boasting 707 horsepower (and 200+ mph top speed)!

Gordinier Group Product Specialists were also on tap to socialize the new Pacifica minivan and PHEV hybrid.

All in all, this was a fun event for both fleet guests and GG drivers alike.
