KYB Training Vehicle Hits the Streets
Customized Toyota 4Runner designed for on-site training of Service Technicians, Shop Owners, and Parts Pros
Greenwood, IN, November 1, 2022 – In keeping with their focus on education and training, KYB is taking their popular Video Training Series on the road with a custom built Toyota 4Runner overlanding vehicle.
The KYB ‘4Trainer’ will utilize an audio/video system and product displays for onsite education programs, as well as provide immediate access to the KYB Video Training Series. The 4Trainer will showcase KYB products and it features the newly introduced KYB JAOS adjustable suspension lift kits. The vehicle will also be used to educate consumers on the need for increased performance when running larger wheels and tires, hauling, or towing.
The integrated KYB Video Training Series consists of a series of short videos and quizzes for Parts Pros and Service Technicians. Professionals will learn how critical shocks are to vehicle control and safety systems, how to determine if shocks are worn enough to recommend replacement, and techniques focused on increasing their ride control replacement business.
Each Service Technician who completes the program will receive a KYB long sleeve t-shirt, and Parts Professionals completing the program will receive their choice of KYB hats. The interactive, self paced KYB Video Training Series can also be found at www.kyb.com/training.
Watch for a special 4Trainer feature on Truck U, airing December 4 on MotorTrendTV. The KYB 4Trainer will be making appearances throughout the U.S. and Canada. Automotive Professionals can contact their local KYB Sales Manager to request an appearance.
