The Trail Rated® Badge: More Than a Symbol – It’s a Jeep® Way of Life

At Zappone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, we don’t just sell SUVs—we deliver adventure. That little Trail Rated® badge you see on the side of certain Jeep® vehicles? It’s not just for show. It’s earned, not given. And it represents a promise: your Jeep has been pushed to the limits and passed a brutal series of tests in five core categories—Traction, Water Fording, Maneuverability, Articulation, and Ground Clearance.

GROUND CLEARANCE

Trail Rated® ground clearance means your Jeep is built to clear rocks, logs, and uneven terrain with confidence. Its approach, breakover, and departure angles are finely tuned to help you conquer obstacles rather than avoid them. When the trail gets tough, your Jeep rises—literally—to the occasion.

WATER FORDING

Got a stream to cross? A flooded backroad? No problem. Jeep Trail Rated® 4x4s are designed to handle it. With sealed electrical connections and a high-positioned air intake, your vehicle is ready to handle unexpected water with confidence. Just another reason why not all 4x4s are created equal. (Disclosure applies.)

ARTICULATION

Whether you’re crawling over boulders or navigating pothole-ridden roads, articulation makes all the difference. Trail Rated® vehicles are engineered with exceptional suspension flexibility, helping your tires stay in contact with the ground—even when one or more wheels lift off.

TRACTION

Rain. Snow. Mud. Sand. Rock. No matter the surface, Trail Rated® Jeeps are designed for grip. This traction is your ticket to handling unpredictable terrain and wild weather with confidence. Wherever the road—or lack of road—leads, your Jeep has your back.

MANEUVERABILITY

Tight switchbacks? Urban construction zones? Narrow trails? Your Jeep is equipped with responsive steering and an optimized wheelbase to help you weave through it all. Precision handling isn’t just for the city—it’s essential for the wild.
