What is the Rebelle Rally?
When it comes to driving off-road, it takes an extremely capable vehicle to be able to safely navigate the terrain. When it comes to the wide variety of vehicles available today, only particular models are able to conquer the rough roads ahead, such as with various Nissan SUVs and trucks. With the Rebelle Rally consisting of these capable off-road vehicles, exactly what is the Rebelle Rally?
Nissan Vehicles in the Rebelle Rally
The Rebelle Rally is a 10-day long off-road competition that features eight days of actual racing throughout California. The Rebelle Rally takes place from Oct. 11 – 20 this year and is the first women’s off-road navigation rally raid in the United States. The adventure will start in Lake Tahoe and end in San Diego.
One of the most capable off-road vehicles that stands out in the Nissan lineup is the Armada. Driving the exciting Armana this year are work-from-home mothers Sedona Blinson and Leaf Heffelfinger. Blinson is a veteran to the Rebelle Rally, having completed the race twice before. Heffelfinger also participated in the 2017 Rebelle Rally using the Nissan Frontier PRO-4X. This year, they are driving the 2018 Nissan Armada Platinum. This SUV is stock for the most part, but also uses Nitto Ridge Grappler tires.

“The Armada draws its heritage from the global Nissan Patrol – an SUV known around the world as a King of the Desert – and is a natural fit to succeed in an off-roading challenge like the Rebelle Rally. We are excited to watch Leah and Sedona take on the competition and show off Armada’s authentic capability as a partner in any adventure.”
