Besides the emblem of course. Body lift? Tow hooks? Skid plates? etc. Just bought it. Can you tell if it's lifted? I don't see tow hooks and haven't checked for skid plates yet.

You summarised it perfectly with the emblem.... probably something someone's bought and stuck on.
It might be a dealer upgrade, have a look underneath and see what's there, there don't appear to be any tow hooks but it's got the tow receiver that was added to provide protection for the fuel tank.
Stock ride hight is 19" from the wheel centre to the underside of the arch flare, less than that = worn out suspension, more would suggest a lift. It looks fairly stock in the pictures.
Stock tyres are 235/70/16 these look like standard alloys with a set of fairly new tyres.
Low spec trim was cloth, the Limited and some special editions had leather. I'm guessing that's a fairly low end car as it hasn't got spotlights in the grill or body coloured wheel arch moldings.
The common rust spots are inside the plastic trim on the sills / rockers and the lower rear arches. Also check the roof, they go around the 3rd brake light. If it's rust free that's a major point, a lot of them have melted in the salt!
The bodywork on it looks nice and straight + the paint looks good too so I would think it would sell quite easily.

I think trail rated just means it is 4x4.
Most other things are trim level upgrades,Limited,Renegade,Rocky Mountain Edition ect.
