What Are the Jeep Trail Rated Requirements?
The Trail Rated badge is more than just a symbol; it's a testament to a Jeep vehicle's exceptional off-road capabilities. To earn this distinction, each Jeep must pass challenging testing in five key categories:
- Traction: Ensures the vehicle can maintain grip on various terrains, from slippery mud to loose gravel, providing confidence in challenging conditions.
- Water Fording: Assesses the Jeep's ability to navigate through water obstacles, with sealed electrical connections and elevated air intakes enhancing performance.
- Maneuverability: Evaluates the vehicle's agility in navigating tight spots and avoiding obstacles, crucial for off-road trails.
- Articulation: Measures the flexibility of the suspension system, allowing the wheels to stay in contact with uneven surfaces for better control.
- Ground Clearance: Determines the vehicle's ability to clear obstacles like rocks and logs without damaging the undercarriage.
These rigorous tests ensure that Trail Rated Jeeps can handle the diverse and demanding terrains near Detroit and beyond.
