All wranglers are trail rated, as far as I know, obviously. as far as the other vehicles? i only really know about the patriot/compass trail rating as that is what I've been looking at. For the patriot that is trail rated vs the normal 4x4, the differences are as listed:

Beefed up suspension/control arms
Oil cooler
tranny cooler
redone airbox to allow a higher water fording
extra sealing around the doors and body to keep water out for water fording.
the CVT-L with the low crawl gear.
tow hooks
skid plates.

I think that's a good list of things to beef the car up over a standard patriot. For the liberty, I think all of their 4x4 models get the trail rated badge, and the GC I have no idea.
