Jeep Rubicon Trail driven for 70 years

Jeep Rubicon is a moniker that is synonymous with a trail rated 4WD. This year Jeep celebrates 70 years of driving the famous and tortuous Rubicon Trail in northern California.

Known as one of the most difficult off-road trails in the world, the Rubicon Trail is the ultimate testbed for Jeep 4×4 vehicle validation, the inspiration for the brand’s most capable model – the legendary Jeep Wrangler and a lifestyle symbol of off-road adventuring.

If you have a Jeep Rubicon, you know you have possibly the most capable manufacturer built 4WD available.

Maybe we should have the same designation for the Canning Stock Route here in Australia.

This world-renowned 4×4 playground spans approximately 22 miles of the toughest off-road terrain on the planet – terrain that Jeep Trail Rated 4×4 vehicles are designed and built to overcome.

This summer, 450 Jeep enthusiasts and their families and friends, driving a total of 125 Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators, celebrated the Rubicon Trail’s seven-decade anniversary

Jeep operates more than 40 Jeep Jamborees annually and continues to expand, this year launching two trips to Iceland that took place in August.

For an adventure based 4WD enthusiast like myself the Rubicon Trail remains on the bucket list. Hope your listening Jeep
