silver lake sand dunes
We recently supported our partners at Nissan in hosting a media drive at Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, Michigan. The event offered journalists an opportunity to drive the Nissan Armada Pro-4X and the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X in a dynamic off-road setting. Our team of professional drivers delivered clear, terrain-specific safety briefings and coached the fundamentals of proper sand-driving technique. Once on the dunes, we led a guided tour to familiarize the journalists with the terrain, highlight potential challenges, and demonstrate the best lines for safe and controlled driving.
After the initial orientation, media participants were encouraged to explore the dunes on their own while our team monitored conditions, managed staging zones, and maintained communication with support and recovery personnel. Throughout the day, we adjusted routes as needed to keep the flow smooth, safe, and efficient.
Feedback from attending outlets, including some great coverage from Autoblog, underscored how well-coordinated and supportive the experience felt. Our goal was to deliver a professional, confidence-building environment that allowed Nissan’s guests to focus on the drive while we handled the operational details behind the scenes.
Gordinier Group staff and the 2020 Gladiator joined the migration to the Jeep Invasion 2019 event going on near Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, Michigan. Jeeps from all over the country descended upon the area for an all-out Jeepin’ weekend. What a perfect venue to give Jeep lovers the opportunity to experience the Gladiator first hand and play in the mud. The weather created the perfect day for the true mudder at heart. The 20-minute trail ride gave way to quite a variety of organic obstacles to highlight the off-road skills of the new vehicle. Of course there was no doubt….it is a Jeep.
