[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 451142, member: 24042"] I'm going to disagree that it's just a sales gimmick. The fact that you can buy a badge and stick it on means nothing. Haven't you ever seen a car with a VTEC sticker that wasn't even a Honda? Or a V6 Mustang with a Shelby badge? There was a time when all Jeeps were focused first and foremost on off-highway ability. That is no longer true. All Wranglers and Gladiators are Trail Rated. All other models have a Trailhawk trim level, and only those upgraded models are Trail Rated. A stock, stripper Wrangler or Gladiator is able to run the Rubicon Trail. That's mandatory. That doesn't mean you can run the hardest lines, but you can make it through. I don't think there are many (or any) other entry level 4x4's of which that is true. Certainly not at the pricepoint of a base Wrangler. [/QUOTE]
