TRAIL RATED® TOUGH
The Trail Rated® badge signifies the ability to perform well under a variety of weather and road conditions. The five key areas of Trail Rated testing are traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk® and models equipped with the available Off-Road Adventure I Group or the Off-Road Adventure II Group are all Trail Rated.

4x4 CAPABILITIES
Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers three available 4x4 systems—Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II® and Quadra-Drive® II. So if you just need to tackle rough weather or you’re the ultimate off-roader, Grand Cherokee can handle it.

QUADRA-TRAC® 4x4 SYSTEMS
Quadra-Trac I® is an available full-time 4x4 system providing power to the front and rear axles.

SELEC-SPEED® CONTROL
Available Selec-Speed® Control helps you when climbing and descending steep grades. It includes both Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. Hill Descent Control monitors throttle, speed and braking when you're traveling downhill. Hill Start Assist keeps your brakes applied after you’ve released the brake, to give you time to accelerate without rollback.
