WHAT IS TRAIL RATED®?

A Trail Rated® badge is not given, it's earned. Every Trail Rated 4x4 Jeep® vehicle has succeeded against a series of gruelling tests in five categories: Traction, Water Fording, Manoeuvrability, Articulation and Ground Clearance.

Why do we test? Pushing our vehicles as far as they can go is part of our DNA. As long as we strive for groundbreaking capability and you pursue exhilarating adventure, Jeep Trail Rated® vehicles will continue to be tested to battle everything you may encounter.

TRACTION


Jeep® Trail Rated® 4x4 vehicles have the traction to handle some of the harshest, most unpredictable driving conditions. If you're looking to take on some of the toughest terrains Jeep vehicle can conquer.

With Trail Rated® capability on your side, you can traverse bodies of water that other vehicles wouldn’t dare attempt. Electrical connections and body openings are sealed and the air intake is positioned higher to protect your vehicle when driving through overflowing creeks, streams and deceivingly deep rainstorm puddles.

MANEUVERABILITY


Swiftly dodge obstacles on the trail, veer around narrow gaps, or safely navigate around an accident. Thanks to precision steering and optimised wheelbases, your Jeep® Trail Rated® 4x4 vehicle will be able to handle tight trail switchbacks and emergency situations.

ARTICULATION


The best adventures usually take place on the roughest terrain, but good articulation doesn’t just come in handy when off-roading. Areas with heavy construction or deep potholes require maximum suspension flexibility. Higher levels of articulation ensure your wheels remain stable and engaged when one or more tires are off the ground.

GROUND CLEARANCE


Trail Rated® ground clearance gives you plenty of room between the underside of your vehicle and the terrain, allowing you to drive over rocks and logs without underbody damage. Approach, breakover and departure angles are all maximised, giving you more options to go over, when going around isn't possible.

WHERE WE TEST

Trail Rated® testing begins in the state-of-the-art facilities at FCA US headquarters, before heading out to some of the most challenging terrain on earth. Jeep® Trail Rated 4x4 vehicles don't just endure the hostile cold of Northern Michigan and the unforgivable boulders of the Rubicon Trail, they conquer. Treacherous trails and weather conditions only serve to reinforce their remarkable Trail Rated® capability.
