The Gordinier Group Ram Truck Team saddled up at the MGM Grand Casino for the last weekend of the NFR.
Guests of the event were treated to a simulated off-road track built specifically for the full line of Ram trucks present at NFR. For the second year in a row, we were able to take over the MGM valet area, with GG pro drivers behind the wheel of a dozen of the hottest 2013/2014 Ram trucks.
The biggest news at the NFR was the introduction of the 2014 Motor Trend Truck of the Year: Ram 1500 EcoDiesel to the test ride track. This was our first chance to drive this revolutionary vehicle, as it has yet to be released to dealers. We are feeling pretty lucky, being able to offer the first public rides in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee and now the 2014 Ecodiesel Ram! Continue reading

Located south of Detroit Metro Airport in Belleville, MI, the 2013 Great Lakes Boy Scout Rendezvous took place in Willow Metropark in September. More than 6,000 Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and their families spent the weekend inside the park, camping and participating in the many outdoor activities hosted at the event.
Jeep offered event guests the opportunity to experience the 2013 vehicle lineup while riding through the picturesque park on an exciting off-road trail. Eight vehicles were used, consisting of a mix of Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Compass and Patriot vehicles. Rides were given by Gordinier Group trained off-road drivers, who provided detailed product information during the ride.

The Academy of Country Music Experience enjoyed great success, following a venue change for 2013.
Gordinier Group professional drivers dusted off their cowboy boots and headed to the Orleans casino in Las Vegas to give consumers the ride of a lifetime in the new 2013 Ram 1500 trucks.
We had a mix of trim levels on hand – from the Express all the way to the pinnacle of luxury half-ton trucks – the Laramie Longhorn. The trucks were plenty capable as they were expertly piloted over a brand new, rigorous simulated off-road course (developed and built by the George P Johnson Company). The course offered a 12 foot, 30-degree mountain, roller demo, log pile, articulation ramp and 30-degree side hill.
The Ram Ride Experience and Raminator rides were a huge hit at the ACM Experience. Positioned at the entrance to an outdoor concert venue with top country acts, we had great exposure and an excellent level of participation.
Guests left the event well-informed and with a better understanding of what makes the 2013 Ram 1500 the Motor Trend “Truck of the Year”.

Gordinier Group pro drivers traveled to Aspen, Colorado to provide a shuttle service at the 17th Annual Winter X-Games, sponsored by Jeep.
Always a favorite in downtown Aspen, the Jeep shuttle service offers athletes, VIPs, and spectators complimentary rides to and from the X-Games venue during the event days. Not only can they get a lift from 5 different downtown locations, but guests are able to ride in a 2013 Grand Cherokee, Wrangler Unlimited, Compass or Patriot.
During their ride, guests are educated on the Jeep product and are able to play Jeep trivia.Great weather and great action – this event is a keeper!
