They took it on ‘snowboarding, off-road adventures, hiking and bike trailers, and camping’, in order to pinpoint every little flaw in it so they can work on it to avoid any future inconvenience.
Landin further said that they are working to fix the mirrors on the removable doors, also the main issue of ‘removable doors’ themselves because buyers were not comfortable in leaving the doors at home while going on long road trips. The company immediately looked into the problem and eliminated it by figuring out a way to store the doors on the vehicle.
