I have been looking on how to receive the Trail Rated Badge, well I found it!
The "Trail Rated Badge" on a Jeep vehicle is a signal that it has been designed to perform in a variety of challenging off-road conditions. All 2004 and 2005 Jeep 4x4s are Trail Rated by the Nevada Automotive
Test Center (NATC), the same 3rd party organization that tests vehicles
for the US Military and Border Patrol.
You might wonder if earlier models of Jeep 4x4s are qualified to wear the new Trail Rated badge. The answer is an unequivocal yes! That's because we've been using tough standards to test the capability of Jeep vehicles from day one. Now there's one universal badge for all Jeep four-wheel-drive vehicles.
To receive Trail Rated badging for a prior model year Jeep vehicle call: 1-800-925-JEEP (925-5337).
