Default 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee tackles Rubicon looking to become Trail Rated

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is creeping back into the news at a steady rate, meaning that Team Pentastar must be fairly close to releasing its first all-new product in some time. Just yesterday, we received what appears to be an early peek into Grand Cherokee pricing, and now we have access to a cornucopia of pics of a pair of Jeep's finest traversing the fabled Rubicon Trail.



According to the Jeep Jamboree Facebook page, the 2011 Grand Cherokees were being driven by a group of Jeep engineers testing the vehicle before they go on sale later this year. Since the Grand Cherokee is supposed to be the chief of the Jeep lineup, we're guessing that the rough-and-ready SUVs need to absolutely ace the Rubicon to earn the all-important Trail Rated badge.

still, pretty impressive if a fairly stock looking vehicle can do the rubicon trail...

They look like some pretty average AT's on that thing...

Remember this is the Jeep that has airbag suspension and can adjust itself up something like 4.5 inch's when in low range...
