I've gotten: "Cherokee... Do you mean the Grand Cherokee or the minivan one?" I just walked out and I've not been back to Autozone since. (Except when my friend needed a battery for his Mazda 626, and O'Reilly's didn't have them.)

The "Regular or Grand?" question doesn't bother me that much though. In this form it's more of a stupidity check than an insult to the XJ.

"Trail Rated" is just a marketing ploy. You could trail rate a Crown Victoria if you really wanted to. Trail rating is a scale from 1 to 10, what matters is the number, not just simply being trail rated. lol I'd have to ask the guys I know at NATC that do the rating but I want to say a Liberty is only like a 5 or something, and the factory built out Wrangler is like a 9 or 10. Don't quote me on that though.
