Jeep’s Constant Evolution
Many folks associate Jeep with ruggedness and the ability to handle some of the toughest terrains on the planet, but what many don’t realize is that Jeep got here by the constant use of cutting-edge technology to improve its lineup of vehicles. This adaptation has helped Jeep maintain its brand image, whether you are looking at the traditional Jeep Wrangler, the creature comforts of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, or the benefits of a Jeep Gladiator pickup truck.
Every Jeep features the Uconnect infotainment system, including the new Uconnect 5 developed for all of the great brands from Stellantis. This cluster of entertainment, connectivity, and vehicle informational systems is based on an Android operating system. The name Uconnect 5 is not just because it is the fifth version of Jeep’s infotainment system but also because it is five times more powerful than the previous version of Uconnect. This means that you will have a faster processing speed in the system, giving you a quicker response, whether you are searching for a station on SiriusXM satellite radio or looking for a restaurant while taking your Jeep out on the road.
The Uconnect 5 has up to 6GB of RAM, making it one of the most powerful infotainment systems on the market. This is why processing times on the platform have been so markedly improved. Some models even feature the TomTom navigation system, which includes traffic alerts providing you with the safest and easiest route to your next generation. The Uconnect 5 system comes with a standard 10.1-inch touchscreen, while the Uconnect 5 Plus with added features is available on four different screen sizes, including a massive 12.3-inch model.
Jeep’s dedication to technology is not just limited to the infotainment system. The new 2021 Wrangler 4xe is the first hybrid model in the history of Jeep. This melds the traditional looks of the Jeep Wrangler that built the brand with a hybrid engine that is both eco-friendly and fuel-efficient. The Wrangler 4xe operates on a 2.0-liter Turbocharged I-4 gas engine matched with an electric motor powered by a 17-kWh battery. This gives you 470 pound-feet of instant torque, making it quick off the light and also able to handle the toughest off-road conditions. As for fuel efficiency, this plug-in hybrid will give you an estimated 49 MPGe, with an estimated range of 370 miles. By choosing to make the Wrangler 4xe a plug-in, Jeep has given you the ease of charging, whether at home or at one of many superchargers in the Jeep 4xe charging network.
There are other technological innovations coming your way, courtesy of Jeep. For example, you can make your Jeep a mobile 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, with connectivity for up to 8 smart devices. What’s more, you can access this Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 50 feet from your Jeep, making this ideal for folks who love camping but want to stay connected with the outside world. For off-road enthusiasts, Jeep has begun promoting an all-new forward-facing off-road camera. This will help you see obstacles and obstructions in the path of your Jeep that would normally be difficult or impossible to see. The real-time images will allow you to take evasive action to avoid hitting the objects and upsetting your passengers who are along for the ride. These are just a few of Jeep’s new technologies, showing you how Jeep continues to evolve over the years.
What Is a Trail Rated Jeep?
One of the most frequent questions we get at our dealership is about the Trail Rated badge on many of the Jeep models we sell. While many other automakers slap stickers and badges on standard models of their vehicles and call them a special edition, the Trail Rated badge on your Jeep has actual meaning beyond just a pretty symbol.
In order to be considered Trail Rated, the Jeep model in question must have a 4x4 drivetrain, as only a 4x4 drive can provide you with the performance you are going to need for your Jeep to tackle the trail. Next, the Jeep will have to undergo a series of five different tests: traction, water fording, maneuverability, articulation, and ground clearance. These tests are conducted under the harshest extremes of heat and cold in Moab, Utah, the Rubicon Trail in California, and Northern Michigan during winter.
The traction part of Trail Rating checks to see how it handles the toughest driving conditions, from snowy winter to hot desert sands, with rocky trails thrown in as well. The water fording test is done to ensure that all body openings and electrical connections are sealed to avoid damaging key vehicle functions when crossing streams or flooded roadbeds. Jeep also checks to make sure the air intake is positioned high enough to avoid flooding the engine.
In order to test a vehicle’s maneuverability, Jeep will take the vehicle onto the most challenging trails to see how it handles narrow passages and tight switchbacks. The engineers at Jeep know their vehicles can take it since they have been given tight wheelbases, exceptional suspension systems, and precision steering. Articulation means that each wheel has the ability to turn alone or in unison as needed. This will help get your Jeep up and over any obstacle in its path, whether on or off the road.
Finally, ground clearance will give you enough room to cross the trail without doing damage to the underbody of your Jeep. The designers at Jeep also make sure that the approach, breakover, and departure angles are sufficiently maximized to allow you to get through the trail without the risk of getting stuck off the road.
As you can see, Trail Rated is not a gimmick, or some fancy badge stuck on your Jeep to make it look cool. It is an award that shows you that the Jeep you have chosen can handle whatever conditions you are going to cross when you go off-roading.
