Rides on Chrysler's Test Track are on a first-come basis. The track is 35 degrees going up, and 45 degrees coming down.
Chrysler's Test Track was more than just a fun ride. the track was designed to demonstrate the capabilities of Chrysler vehicles. They showed us Jeep's axle articulation with a series of offset dips and humps. The steep uphill grade demonstrated climbing and traction capabilities, while the downhill side showed off their hill descent control system.
Another section focused on the Dodge Ram truck and its capabilities.
