Trail Rated

[ENBr]

Its a bit a weird question - and one just for interest...

Are all Jeeps churned out of the factory Trail Rated, or are those just the rubicon and equivalent versions?

 

[glaurick]

all those with 4x4

 

[ENBr]

Thanks - but aren't they all 4x4? Except for the Compass thing - isn't that RWD?

 

[Stankleberry]

No, you can get them in 4X2 if you are afraid of dirt.

 

[ENBr]

Cool... Thanks!

And 4x2 is just RWD, like any other car? As opposed to the part time 4x4?

 

[hyde]

just like any other car, and I seriously doubt 2x4 sports are trail rated.. :-k

The compass has a 4x4 option as well.

"freedom drive" peh..

The 2 wheel drive handles well in the mud as well, it's just not 4 :-D. I love 4 better but i know people with 2's that can keep up.. just buy a winch haha

Correct. Now, since the new wrangler has gone into production, you can get I believe every model Jeep in a 2x4 version if you wish (not sure about the Commander though).

The Wrangler USED to be the only Jeep that was 4x4 ONLY.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion!

I'm 99% positive that the Compass and Patriot will NOT have a trail rated badge. Even if it is a 4x4.

lol - as long as the KJ, wrangler, and grand cherokee have

Make that 74%. Patriot is Trail Rated with offroad package.

Fuel Economy perhaps?

I think every JEEP should be 4X4. If u want 2x4 buy a car or something JEEP = 4X4 only

I think the Commander only gets the Trail rated badge if you get the Hemi.
