We were on our way to UofM to see anther doctor for me when I really looked a new jeep Cherokee. and noticed the it has a trail rated badge.
How the hell are these things trail rated?
What doing some 2 tracks makes them trail rated?
 
Same basis a Chevy/GMC with Z71 OFF ROAD package sticker.

I think that means its got some janky skid plate and some bilstein shocks. Maybe some other doo-dad but nothing game changing like a lift, diff lock, low gearing.

That, and it's cheaper to mass produce a badge/sticker than use actual parts. A locking diff doesn't really draw the eye to a vehicle like a flashy odd font/bright placement of a 2$ sticker.

Tony is right... the TOP OF THE LINE OFFROAD CHEROKEE - has 3 AWESOME features to set it apart and let people KNOW you are a serious offroader!

copy/paste:
The 2019 Jeep® Cherokee Trailhawk® is up for anything and prepared for the
unexpected thanks to off-road-ready features like tow hooks, skid plates
and an anti-glare black decal
:gay:
:eek: :eek: :eek:


BUT hell, think about this- XJs didnt' even come with factory tow hooks! :wtflol:

They actually have a pretty damn low crawl ratio and a rear locker as well :****:
