The Jeep Trail Rated® Badge

Not all Jeep vehicles earn the prestigious Jeep Trail Rated® badge. Only those that have undergone rigorous testing in the following areas are able to sport the Jeep Trail Rated® badge:

  • Traction
  • Water Fording
  • Maneuverability
  • Articulation
  • Ground Clearance

Traction & Water Fording

Jeep vehicles with the Jeep Trail Rated® badge have been designed with traction control systems that are able to handle harsh and unpredictable driving conditions. These 4×4 models are able to tackle rugged terrain or keep you safe in less than ideal weather, which may make roads slick and treacherous.

If you need a vehicle that can traverse through water, you can trust that your Jeep Trail Rated® SUV has been carefully crafted to take this task on. Extra care has been taken to seal body openings as well as electrical connections to prevent any water damage to your vehicle. Additionally, the air intake on these vehicles has been positioned higher.

Maneuverability, Articulation & Ground Clearance

Sometimes, you may encounter tough terrain on your journey. Fortunately, your Trail Rated® Jeep is ready for the challenge.

  • Precision steering and optimized wheelbases mean your vehicle is ready for tight turns or emergency situations.
  • High levels of articulation help to keep your wheels stable and engaged if one or more tires are not in contact with the ground.
  • When obstacles come your way, Trail Rated® ground clearance provides plenty of space between the ground and the underside of the vehicle. You don’t have to worry about damage to the underbody of your SUV.
