One or two of the folks in the video haven't been out of that testing facility for several years...

Is this where they test all the fancy decal packages as well? I hate Jeep and love Jeep at the same time.

I already know and trust my Gladiator, to have the ability to stay in one piece on rough roads and terrain for the 250k. What none of us do believe is that the engine will fallow suit. Let’s see a testing machine start a ware regiment on individual valve train components.
