From what I heard, other than the JK, the last Jeep to be tested on the Rubicon trail was the KJ ('02-'07 Libby) but they did a lot of rock stacking and it came out with several thousand dollars worth of body damage. It made it though, no way a stock Patriot, Grand, Commander, or new Liberty would...

 

Here's what the brochure says...

 

good info!!!!!

 

those vehicles don't have the rubicon model either which is the only jeep model supposedly fully capable of taking on the rubicon trail stock.....as far as the capability of those other vehicles mentioned which also come with a trail rated badge you might be surprised at their capability, just do a quick scan of some youtube videos to prove this point.....they are quite capable of tackling the offroad, they are just going to suffer in some of the finer points that the wrangler has to offer for true offroad superiority.......

 

I'm very familiar with them, I don't need to google anything. Thanks for the info though.

I'm surprised I haven't been bashed for saying the KJ is a decent wheeler.

 

I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to remember seeing pics of a beat up Commander from a Rubicon Trail torture test by Jeep engineers as well. I do also remember for sure that the KJ did it like you said.

 

Hahaha omg that is hilarious man

 

You get the gold star. That's what it means....sorta. Not that it DID make the Rubicon Trail......but that it CAN if it has the Trail Rated Badge.

 

No, they don't claim to be able to do the Rubicon anymore. Most models can't.

 

The Jeep Patriot can be trail rated in option......... Sorry, this is not serious and the "Trail Rated" badge is just marketing.
