Jeep Fact: Unlike some SUV manufacturers, all Jeep models are ‘Trail Rated’ – a term Jeep uses to say that they’ve been tested in 5 key off-road areas – Traction, Water Fording, Manoeuvrability, Articulation, and Ground Clearance.

The first Jeep model to be offered to civilians was the ‘CJ’ – more or less the same vehicle produced for the Army – and you can trace the original Army Jeep and the CJ through to the modern Jeep Wrangler – Jeep’s toughest, most utilitarian vehicle in its current line-up. The ‘Jeep’ – army slang for a new recruit or a new vehicle at the time – changed everything and when the Second World War eventually came to a halt in 1945, it’s manufacturer had the brilliant foresight to focus purely on this new off-road vehicle. It was produced by a firm called Willys, a company that had produced cars before the war. This is effectively the ancestor of the modern SUV. One company succeeded in fulfilling the demanding requirements of the US Army, and by 1941 it was being produced. Sensing they’d soon have to step into the conflict, the US Army had put in a request for American companies to come to them with a light, all-wheel drive, off-road vehicle to assist in the war effort. In 1940, the Second World War was well and truly underway. Jeep is a specialist off-road and SUV company – military precision, everyday practicality Jeep Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
