Jeep History: From Wartime to Adventure
Jeep entered the automotive industry in the 1940s when the United States Army asked 135 automakers to join the bidding process by designing a light reconnaissance vehicle to aid in World War II. The American military received only three bids from Ford, Bantam, and Willys, ultimately tasking the automakers to collaborate. Willys-Overland, Jeep as we know it today, ultimately responded with the Quad, a four-wheel drive vehicle that debuted on Veteran’s Day 1940 after a phenomenal 75-day design and production cycle.
The Quad played a prominent role in World War II, prompting the automaker to design a model for the civilian market. By 1945, the Jeep CJ-2A was born and gave everyday Americans a taste of the versatility and capability of what Willys-Overland called “The All-Around Farm Workhorse.” Americans quickly fell in love.
Willys-Overland capitalized on its success and introduced new models, from the all-steel Willys Wagon and the Overland Truck to the Jeepster. These models solidified the automaker’s reputation and put the company on a forward trajectory as the Jeep community flourished with the birth of the Jeep Jamborees in the 1950s. The 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s were just as prosperous, with Jeep blending luxury and four-wheel drive capability in models like the Wagoneer, introducing icons like the Wrangler, and touting award-winning SUVs like the Grand Cherokee. Willys-Overland effortlessly transitioned from its wartime roots to an American automotive pioneer heralded for its Go Anywhere, Do Anything lineup.
Jeep Badging: What It Means
One of the greatest perks of investing in a Jeep is knowing the automaker stands behind its lineup, not only promising brute strength and capability but delivering tenfold. This fulfilled promise is apparent in Jeep’s illustrious Trail Rated badging, an honor that’s earned and not given freely. A Jeep that wears the Trail Rated badge has proven its prowess on and off the pavement, giving drivers confidence that the model sitting on the lots of used Jeep dealerships like ours can readily answer the call of the wild.
To earn the beloved Trail Rated badge, a Jeep model is evaluated in five categories: ground clearance, traction, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. A Trail Rated Jeep must offer adequate ground clearance to prevent underbody damage and give you the confidence to navigate technical terrain, whether traversing over rocks, climbing steep ascents, or maneuvering over downed logs. Likewise, the Jeep must offer the maneuverability, articulation, and traction to respond to these conditions, from precise steering and a competent four-wheel drive system that optimizes traction to a tuned suspension that optimizes the Jeep’s movement in the most demanding conditions.
Sometimes, those conditions call for crossing streams and other bodies of water, which a Trail Rated Jeep is designed to do without hesitation. Every Trail Rated Jeep has passed grueling water fording tests to withstand wet conditions without damage. The testing evaluates the ground clearance relative to how the electrical components are sealed and where the powertrain components are positioned to protect every vital element from even the wettest environment.
