FIVE PERFORMANCE TEST CATEGORIES
are designed to prove every Jeep®
vehicle’s Trail Rated® capability.
>>
TRACTION. Trail Rated traction helps
you maintain controlled forward motion
on snowy back roads and icy bridges.
You can climb steep sand dunes and
master muddy two-tracks. Others may
fear untamed terrain, but your Trail Rated
Grand Cherokee has the traction within
to master all kinds of topography and
driving conditions.
>>
ARTICULATION. Grand Cherokee’s
suspension systems enhance on- and
off-road performance by maximizing
flexibility, axle articulation, and wheel
travel. This standard indicates that when
one or more wheels are elevated, the
Jeep
®
4x4 system helps the others stay
on the ground longer to keep you moving.
>>
MANEUVERABILITY. Every
Grand Cherokee is born with the
athletic ability to navigate narrow gaps,
dodge emergency situations, and
avoid cosmetic damage to underbody
sills, thanks to precision steering and
optimized wheelbases.
>>
GROUND CLEARANCE. Head out
knowing that your Trail Rated Grand
Cherokee has optimized approach,
departure, and breakover angles
designed to clear logs, rocks, and
uneven ground. Your undercarriage is
protected, too, with forged skid plates
that cover your vehicle’s most valuable
underbody elements.
>>
WATER FORDING.
3
Traverse up to 20
inches of water with confidence, thanks to
additional electrical and body seals, plus
a high air-intake location. Of course,
always inspect all waterways before
proceeding, just to make sure there
are no unforeseen pitfalls.
It’s the recognized
standard for off-road capability.
The available Trail Rated
®
fortitude of
Jeep Grand Cherokee helps you navigate
the world and all it offers. On the road or on
the trail, Grand Cherokee works to safely
get you through the challenges
mother Nature sets before you.
