What Does Trail Rated Mean Anyway? - 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk Long-Term Road Test
Our 2015 Jeep Renegade is trail rated according to the badge on the side. What does that means exactly?

But, I know what you mean about the dilution of the Trail Rating. Chrysler isn't the only manufacturer that does that. Ford did it with their "XLT" package. At one point, XLT was THE top trim level. Now, it's middle-of-the-pack. "GT", "R/T", & "SS" used to really mean something performance-wise. Now, it's a tape application and/or sound package for the most part for most of the manufacturers. Even when it is a performance package still, it's the low-rent version. Remember when you could buy a base Mustang with the V8, but if you added the GT, you got more performance goodies? Not now. Now, all V-8s are GTs.
Maybe they should call it the Good Sport, or GS?
