What Makes a Jeep Trail Rated
What Makes a Jeep Trail Rated
Written by Bedford Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM
For the last 80 years, Jeep has been known for its premiere off-road vehicles. Every Jeep has been trail-rated, which goes far beyond the pavement and the badge that is proudly displayed on every Jeep vehicle. Trail Rated Jeeps give rivers the confidence to take on all challenges. Jeep is fully committed to providing all of its consumers' opportunities to find out their limits and then blast right past them. Each SUV that Jeep sells has an incredible off-road and towing capability, which should please every driver, and when you drive a Trail Rated Jeep, the adventure is wherever you want it to be. Of course, Trail Rated badges are not given; they are earned as each vehicle is put through a bevy of grueling tests that include Traction, Water Fording, Maneuverability, Articulation, and Ground Clearance. Continue reading as we go over what each one entails.
Traction
All Jeep's Trail Rated vehicles have exceptional 4x4 capability, which is needed to endure the harshest conditions that the world offers. Even if you are looking to tackle some of the toughest terrains on earth or make it home in the middle of a bad storm, your Jeep Brand Trail Rated vehicle can handle it all thanks to its superior traction. Don' take our word for it, head down to Bedford Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, and test drive a trail-rated Jeep today.
Water Fording
With this impeccable Trail Rated capability on every Jeep, you can go over almost any body of water that all other SUVs wouldn't even dream of attempting. All of your vehicles electrical connections and body opening has been sealed tightly. At the same time, the air intake is positioned higher than most other vehicles to protect your Trail Rated Jeep as it drivers over overflowing creeks, streams, and all of those deep rainstorm puddles.
Maneuverability
With your Trail Rated Jeep vehicle, you can easily dodge obstacles you encounter on the trail. You can also veer around narrow gaps and easily navigate around an accident. Thanks to Jeep's amazing precision steering and optimized wheelbase, it can handle everything from tight trail switchbacks to emergencies, which leaves the driver in complete control of the vehicle.
Articulation
Some of the best adventures take place on the most difficult terrain, so some good articulation does come in handy in challenging off-road situations. There are areas in the world that have heavy construction or rough potholes that require maximum suspension capability. Each Jeep Trail Rated vehicle has higher articulation levels to ensure that all four of your wheels remain stable and engaged when one or more tires leap off the ground.
Ground Clearance
Jeeps Trail Rated ground clearance allows you a ton of room between the underside of your Jeep and the terrain, which allows you to drive over all kinds of rocks and logs without ever causing the underbody damage. Additionally, the approach angle, breakover angle, and departure angle have all been maximized, giving you more options to go over things when going around them isn't going to be possible.
