Trail Rated
Let’s dive into the key features that make your Jeep Trail Rated and ready for any adventure.
Traction: Conquer Any Terrain
Every Trail Rated Jeep is engineered and tested to provide excellent traction. Whether you’re navigating muddy trails or climbing rocky hills, the stability and control of a Trail Rated Jeep ensure you remain in command. The superior traction allows you to tackle a variety of terrains with confidence.
Water Fording: Dive In
Don’t let a little water stand in your way. Trail Rated Jeeps come equipped with sealed electric connections and body openings, along with higher air intakes. These features allow your Jeep to safely cross moderate bodies of water, making stream crossings a breeze.
Maneuverability: Navigate with Precision
Trail Rated Jeeps excel in tight and winding areas, thanks to their precision steering and optimized wheelbases. This enhanced maneuverability allows you to navigate through dense forests, narrow mountain passes, and tricky switchbacks with ease.
Articulation: Keep the Wheels on the Ground
Articulation is all about ensuring as many tires as possible remain in contact with the ground, even on rough terrain. This capability improves power transfer, safety, and control, especially on bumpy roads and rocky paths. Your Trail Rated Jeep keeps you stable and secure, no matter how uneven the landscape.
Ground Clearance: Clear the Way
With generous ground clearance, Trail Rated Jeeps protect their undercarriage in rugged environments. This means you can drive over rocks, roots, and other obstacles without worrying about damaging your vehicle’s underside. It’s all about getting over the tough spots without a hitch.
Maneuverability: Navigate with Precision
Trail Rated Jeeps excel in tight and winding areas, thanks to their precision steering and optimized wheelbases. This enhanced maneuverability allows you to navigate through dense forests, narrow mountain passes, and tricky switchbacks with ease.
Approach, Breakover, and Departure Angles: Master the Angles
Trail Rated Jeeps maximize approach, breakover, and departure angles. These critical measurements ensure your Jeep can climb steep hills, traverse obstacles, and descend slopes safely. By avoiding undercarriage damage, you can focus on the thrill of the adventure.
Tested and Proven: Moab, Utah and the Rubicon Trail
Before earning the Trail Rated badge, Jeeps are put through their paces in some of the most challenging environments. Moab, Utah, with its slick rock surfaces and stunning national parks, is a key testing ground. Here, Jeeps are pushed to their limits to ensure they can handle anything nature throws at them.
The Rubicon Trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is another rigorous testing location. This 22-mile trail offers diverse and challenging terrain, providing the perfect proving ground for any Jeep. Only after surviving the Rubicon Trail can a Jeep truly be called Trail Rated.
Ready for Your Next Adventure
A Trail Rated Jeep isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a passport to adventure. With features like superior traction, water fording capability, precision maneuverability, excellent articulation, ample ground clearance, and optimized angles, your Jeep is ready for anything. So, gear up, hit the trail, and discover what your Trail Rated Jeep can do. Adventure awaits!
