articulation
A Trail Rated suspension system is limber
like a gymnast. How exactly? Flexibility is
the key to good articulation. The more a
wheel can travel, and suspension flex, the
better it can maintain contact with terra
firma and provide the traction needed to
cross an array of obstacles.
traction
The vehicle maintains forward momentum
through the tires staying in contact with
the road or trail. Trail Rated traction helps
you stay in control on untamed terrain,
slippery (wet, mud, snow) conditions, and
on steep grades.
Maneuverability
Athletic. Agile. Trail Rated. Jeep 4WD
vehicles have the footwork to help navigate
narrow gaps, dodge emergency situations
and avoid cosmetic damage to the
underbody thanks to precision steering
and optimized wheelbases.
Ground clearance
Help keep your belly out of the mud. Clear
nasty logs, rocks, and uneven ground
while helping to prevent undercarriage
damage. Trail Rated vehicles feature
optimized approach, departure, and
breakover angles to keep you in the clear.
