Historically, when boys were in the transition phase from being children to becoming men they were put under different tests according to their culture. For off-road vehicles, this test is Black Bear road in Colorado. The vehicle to be tested happens to be the controversial Jeep Renegade, essentially a Fiat 500L chassis wearing a Jeep Body. On its body are "Trail Rated" badges, and the folks at Motor Trend wanted to see if the car is worthy of these ranks.

Using the various off-roading modes and the Easter eggs strewn across the car, this duo tries the mini-Jeep on some of America's toughest trails with surprising results.
