What Makes a Wrangler 4xe Trail Rated

Jeep's Trail Rated badge isn't just a marketing label—it's a tough certification earned by passing a series of grueling off-road tests. For the Wrangler 4xe, that means proving itself in five key areas: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. For example, it can handle deep mud or snow thanks to its advanced 4x4 system, which features multiple driving modes, including Rock and Snow. With 10.9 inches of ground clearance, it easily clears rocks and uneven terrain. The suspension allows the wheels to flex and maintain contact on rugged trails, while the body's sealed electrical components let it ford water up to 24 inches deep. This rigorous testing ensures the Wrangler 4xe isn't just green—it's tough enough for serious off-roading.

The Wrangler 4xe's plug-in hybrid setup combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors, delivering a combined 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. What's cool is how the electric motors provide immediate torque at low speeds—perfect for climbing steep inclines or crawling over rocks without hesitation. Plus, you can drive up to 21 miles on pure electric power so that you can sneak through campsites or eco-sensitive trails silently and without emissions. When the battery runs low, the gas engine seamlessly kicks in, providing the best of both worlds: power and extended range. It's not just smart for the environment—it's smart for your off-road adventures.

Ground clearance is a significant factor when the trail becomes gnarly. The Wrangler 4xe's 10.9 inches of clearance means it can clear rocks, logs, and uneven ground without scraping its undercarriage. This keeps vital components safe while helping you maintain momentum on rugged terrain. Maneuverability is just as critical—tight switchbacks, narrow trails, and obstacles require a vehicle that can pivot and respond precisely. Thanks to its solid front and rear axles, combined with a carefully tuned suspension system, the Wrangler 4xe offers excellent wheel articulation, allowing each tire to stay firmly planted even on uneven trails. This keeps traction strong and ensures a smooth ride.

Besides its off-road chops, the Wrangler 4xe packs a suite of advanced safety and tech features designed to keep you confident no matter where you're headed. Trail Cam, for example, lets you see obstacles in front of the vehicle on your touchscreen, so you can carefully navigate tricky terrain without guessing what's around the corner. It also offers electronic stability control and multiple traction control settings that adapt to different surfaces—such as mud, sand, and rock—to help keep you planted and in control. Plus, with features like hill descent control and an available forward-facing off-road camera, the 4xe gives you eyes and control where you need them most. All these systems work together to make sure your focus stays on the adventure, not worrying about what's beneath your wheels.
