Yahoo Autos Jeep announces Adventure Academy to teach owners how to drive off-road
Jeep has created a driving school called Adventure Academy to show owners how to explore the great outdoors without getting stuck in a rut. It's open to all motorists who own one of the brand's four-wheel-drive models, whether it's a CJ-5 or a Gladiator, and Jeep notes the courses are tailored to suit all skill levels.
Held at off-road parks in three states, the driving school will teach owners the basics. They'll learn how the four-wheel drive system works, how to prepare their vehicle for a trip in the wilderness, how to properly read terrain, plus different driving techniques, trail etiquette, and safety tips.
Instructors from Jeep Jamboree, a company that has organized off-road trips since 1953, will teach the courses. Jeep said it will keep classes small to ensure participants have time to learn hands-on and ask questions. Don't stress if you've never left the pavement; the firm expects 50% of participants will be off-roading for the first time.
