Whats the difference between the trail rated kj and other models? Saw one with the badge and couldnt see any visible difference :shrug:

"Wrangler. Liberty. Grand Cherokee. Definition: Trail Rated signifies that the vehicles have passed off road testing by the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) — which evaluates vehicles for traction, ground clearance, off road articulation, maneuverability, and water fording."

(simple google search)

So yea, all KJs are "Trail Rated"

Maybe the 2wd versions do not have a badge???? I don't think the 2wd ones would be "trail rated". I have never seen a 2wd version and don't think they were sold up here but I know a few were made? All others should be "trail rated".

My sister has an 05 KJ 2WD, hers does not have the trail rated badge. You really cant see a difference from just looking at the side or rear. If you look from the front you might see the absence of a front dif. or inside there is no shifter.

trail rated was just some stupid marketing ploy to get people to buy more jeeps.
