Detroit Auto Show
Gordinier Group was proud to once again support Camp Jeep at the 2025 Detroit Auto Show, providing professional precision drivers for one of the most popular interactive experiences on the show floor. As Jeep fans and auto enthusiasts packed Huntington Place, our team delivered thousands of adrenaline-pumping rides on the off-road-inspired course, showcasing Jeep’s legendary lineup of Trail Rated vehicles.
With steep inclines, articulation obstacles, and a 28-foot-high mountain, the Camp Jeep track offered plenty of thrills—and our experienced drivers ensured every ride was equal parts exciting, informative, and safe. From the Grand Cherokee 4xe to the rugged Wrangler Rubicon 392, attendees got a firsthand look at how Jeep continues to lead in off-road performance and innovation.
By the end of the show, nearly 26,000 people had experienced the Camp Jeep ride, making it one of the highest-traffic activations of the event. For Gordinier Group, the Detroit Auto Show holds special significance—just a short drive from our company headquarters, it’s truly our “home field.” We’re always proud to represent Jeep and contribute to such an iconic experience in our own backyard.
We look forward to continuing our partnership and bringing the Camp Jeep experience to more cities throughout the year.
The team arrived early to complete our most ambitious show floor buildout to date. The layout designed by our partners at George P Johnson consisted of the following:
- 200+ tons of flagstone and boulders
- 50 live trees
- 350 yards of dirt and mulch
Once complete, these natural elements coupled with large-scale graphics and extreme driving obstacles created the perfect setting for our guests to experience three separate activations.
First up, the media reveal of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator line-up. Our precision drivers made dynamic entrances into the presentation space to showcase three different trim levels of the new mid-sized truck. The crowd was large, and media impressions were strong! Goal one…check.
Once the show opened to the public, goals two and three came in quick succession. The Camp Jeep Team hosted over 20,000 guests while navigating new and challenging obstacles which included a 23-foot hill with a 40-degree incline/decline, a narrow crevasse, and an off-camber articulation bridge.
Meanwhile, our RAM Truck Territory Team had a bit of fun while hosting over 15,000 guests. New assets on the course included an 18-foot hill with a 30-degree incline/decline, a log crawl, and dual-turn articulation wedges.
Both activations ran flawlessly for the duration of the show enabling guests to experience the innate capability, strength, and comfort of both Jeep and RAM vehicles. A win for all and on our home ice too (so to speak)! Thank you, Detroit!
