You guys just don't understand the true meaning of "trail rated" on all new Jeeps.

I had a friend that bought a new Jeep Golden Eagle, I believe it was called. He owned it for about a year before getting rid of it. He drove it from IL to TN once when it was just a month old, but broke down on the way back home. It stranded him constantly.

And that is the meaning of "trail rated". It's not a DRIVING trail, it's a WALKING trail. If you own a jeep, you are guaranteed to end up with it broken down, and you on the walking trail.
