    Even if roads were built and tow straps were used throughout the journey, I was always under the impression that a Jeep model could not be "Trail Rated" unless it had been able to cross the Rubicon Trail. Well, today I found that is not necessarily the case and really and in regards to the all new 2015 Jeep BU Renegade, it all makes total sense now.
    Having said that, I still like this new Jeep BU Renegade and still think it would be fun to do some light exploring in. Fortunately, if I want to play harder, I have several other options to choose from :D

    You think they will put the renegade in Camp Jeep at the Auto Shows?

    Well, I know that Chris went to the OC show and didn't see anything there. I will most likely be going to the LA Show with hopes of seeing it there and if it is, I'd be hard not to think it wouldn't be on the course.

    It is still early so I can understand why it wasn't at the OC. LA is in November so I would guess it would be there and maybe even with pricing.

    I typically go to the LA Auto Show for the media event and during that time, a lot of manufacturers use the opportunity to do a press conference and announce new stuff. Being that they've already done an official release of the Renegade at the NY show a while back, I'm hoping they will use the LA Show to announce an official release date in the U.S. along with pricing and other details. At this point and time, it'd be really weird if they didn't.

    That's what I'm thinking. We do a lot of exploring that is fun to do in Moby but he's far from needed. I think there will be a lot of folks who will enjoy getting out and having fun in a Renegade.
