Sedona, AZ: Pink Jeep Tours signature pink JEEP® Wranglers may be a common sight around Sedona, but there is nothing common about the new pink vehicle that is in town. The Tour Trekker is now taking visitors on daily tours to the Grand Canyon from both Sedona and Las Vegas.
Luxurious yet rugged, the Tour Trekker is the first of its kind, high-end, all-terrain, 4-wheel drive vehicle, designed to be the ultimate tour vehicle.
For nearly four years, Pink Jeep Tours, the premier off-road tour company in the southwest, developed and refined this one-of-a-kind vehicle. Custom-built to easily navigate tough desert terrain and overcome challenging climate, the Tour Trekker spaciously seats 10 passengers, while preserving the intimate "small group experience," which marketing experts now note as being key for today's tourists who want more interaction, control and participation during their experiences.
"We saw this trend coming years ago. We knew in order to get ahead, we needed to find that special vehicle to service our niche market. However, when we realized we could not find that vehicle, we decided to create it ourselves from scratch. This was a bold move for a sightseeing company but we took the gamble anyway," says Shawn Wendell, owner, Pink Jeep Tours.
Comfort is paramount. Each fully-loaded Tour Trekker offers guests a state-of-the-art-designed interior that includes reclining leather captain seats, 15-inch DVD players, large tinted windows for unparalleled and unobstructed viewing, cross compartment A/C venting increasing passenger comfort and foam insulated walls for a quieter ride and superb climate control. The wheelbase provides a smoother ride with dual rear wheels enhancing stability and safety. True to the JEEP® brand, Chrysler designed and licensed a seven-slot grille specifically for this application.
"The Tour Trekker is an easy and luxurious way for anyone to enjoy a trip to the Grand Canyon," says Mike Hermen, director of marketing, Pink Jeep Tours. "We have one of the natural wonders of the world next to our backyard. If you're planning a trip to see the Canyon or have not been there recently, now is the time to go and the Tour Trekker provides a great incentive to do it."
By easily navigating the outdoor terrain, the Tour Trekker allows guests unique access to remote destinations, thereby ensuring a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In addition to boasting the largest fleet of off-road vehicles, Pink Jeep Tours has the destination's largest group of professionally trained tour guides with nearly 70 knowledgeable guides on staff ensuring tours are not only entertaining, but also educational.
