I have found the perfect Jeep showroom…it does exist.
Imagine a place where you can see the entire current line of Jeep vehicles, without being bothered by salesmen. All the information you could possibly want or need right there before you, without any pressure to purchase. Test-drive the Jeep – or Jeeps – of your choice, on* or OFF-road, simply by stepping up and saying, “Let’s go!” Does this sound too good to be true? It’s not!
Jeep 101, part of DaimlerChrysler’s Route 2002 tour, offers Jeep owners and potential Jeep owners just that – a place where you can become more familiar with a new Jeep in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, without salesmen following you around.
Route 2002 offers something for everyone with its all-inclusive Jeep / Dodge / Chrysler experience. From Dodge City, where you can check out past-to-present vehicles ranging from an original Power Wagon to the concept Super 8 Hemi car, to the Chrysler Proving Grounds where the kids can play putt-putt while you take a look at the all-new Concorde Limited, and finally off to Jeep 101 where you can test your skill on the “balancing beam” and ogle the last Cherokee to come off of the assembly line.
Wherever your tastes may lead you, Route 2002 can deliver. So set aside a day – or two – and take the family out to Route 2002 for an experience you won’t soon forget. You’ll be glad you did.

Inside Jeep 101:
The off-road course of Jeep 101 was specifically designed to offer a variety of conditions that your new Jeep may encounter while out on the trail. There are hills and dips, a log bridge, and even a log-jam for you to test your skill in the stock Jeep of your choice.
