The Gladiator is a jack of all trades, master of none...which is better than a master of one.

@ 26:25 if you run out of warranty with a tundra or any other vehicle you pray nothing break$. If you run out of warranty with a jeep you watch a YouTube video on how 100 other people fixed it without going to the dealer. I've own a Mojave for 2 years now and haven't had a single issue.

Great choice, I had a 22 tacoma and trade in 23 Rubi. Driving this thing feels different and very comfortable especially when taking doors off or the roof it just nice.

Love the Mojave Gladiator, they look great and are extremely versatile. Love that you can get a solid deal on them too by comparison to TRD Pro trim Toyotas. The new Tundra prices are hard to justify… nice video man.

Last year I bought a new 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road, liked a lot of the features of that truck, but it was NOT comfortable for me, I came from a 2012 Jeep JKU Rubicon, the Jeep had more interior room, better stereo, better seating angle. sold the tacoma after 1500 miles.. I was glad I still had my Jeep... Now I sold that JKU and bought a 23 Jeep Gladiator Overland... I love I guess I really am a Jeep guy.

Just passed 55, 000 miles on my 2021 Gladiator Mojave which I bought new in 2021. It has been a Great truck. No squeaks or rattles even now at 3 years old. Smoothest riding truck I have ever owned. Original 33" Falken A/Ts on it too! My daily driver.

I'm in my 60's and have owned many makes and models of trucks. After 3 years of ownership with my Mojave, it ranks right at the top with a couple of my F250's as far as reliability, confidence and capability. But my Mojave is a bit more fun to drive with its outstanding suspension.

I will soon put 35's on the stock wheels and roll it w/o a lift. I have no plans to Overland it.

Jeep knocked it out of the park with the Gladiator - Mojave Edition. The suspension is amazing.


Enjoy it. Subscribed.

Good info in your video. Thank You.

Be well.

As you know I love the Gladiator and I believe it’s the best and most capable mid-size truck on the market. I’m a big fan of the Jeep “JL” line (Gladiator and Wrangler) they are just so fun to own and drive! Love your “JOJAVE” !!!

Just traded my 2017 tundra for a down payment on a 2024 Mojave X. Tundra was a great truck, had a lift on it, kooks long tube headers, flowmaster outlaw exhaust, head lights, tail lights, light bar, larger intake. All sorts of stuff. But I love the features on the Mojave X and there’s nothing like taking the tops off. Still does what I need.

We have a 2022 Mojave, AEV makes a 2 inch lift that keeps all of the OEM geometry of the suspension at factory specs. It allows you to run 35s on factory wheels and 37s on AEV wheels. We have been running the AEV 2 inch lift with 2 inch wheel spacers with factory wheels and tires for 22 months and 22, 000 miles with zero problems. The ride is perfect at OEM geometry of the stock suspension. Your Majave looks great.

Interested to see how you manage to sleep in it, a factor for me when buying just in case a situation arises where you had to.

What part of Arizona do you live in, looks similar to my area (Bullhead City). Which Tundra had the squeaks and rattles (23 or 24/both? I was looking at a Tundra but decided to go with the Ford F150/the Tundras reputation for rattles was a big part of the reason I went with the ford. Do you notice and rattles or other noises in the Gladiator. I am looking at a two door Wrangler Rubicon with the Manuel transmission. Anyway enjoy your Gladiator.

There is a 2023 Mojave near me in Hydro Blue that I love. It's $59k MSRP but about $47k after the discounts. Only options it has are LED lights and auto trans which is all I would want. I'd love to buy it but I already have 6 cars and don't want to part with anything. I go to look at it sitting lonely by itself in the back of the dealer lot when I'm driving by the dealer on the weekends. Sounds crazy but I do : )

I have a 21 trd pro and I’m looking at a gladiator Mojave. People are telling me I’d be making a huge mistake to trade but I only tow a utility trailer a hand full of times a year . I’ve used my truck bed 3x times to haul. I only need a truck for occasional depot runs and gas cans /diesel fuel. I had a 21 jlu but I like having a truck bed . My biggest concern trading is reliability. I’ve had two 4 door wranglers and I figure trading would cover two things. The Jeep feel with still having the ability to tow and haul if needed without having two vehicles.I love the tundra but everything you said about it was exactly the same way I think. When you talked about washing it. I seriously thought I was the only one who thought like that. I hate. Hate washing it. Takes me forever with a step ladder. Another thing is I’m usually the only one in my truck 90% of the time. I hate parking it for the same reasons. Great video

[waynehenson]

Im still driving my 07 5.7 Tundra since new and its still very solid. Your Jeep looks awesome.

[ryancarpenter]

Dude I had the ranger lariat fx4 it was a super nice truck, but when I would take off it always had a weird shutter from the drive shaft, and dealer service tried resolving with shims it was a nightmare, traded that pos for a Gladiator Rubicon no regrets!! Love it

[wickedsquared]

Getting my Gladiator soon. cant wait almost have my down payment ready and this Video has made me make up my mind to get this over the Tacoma. Thank for video man.

[dennismudd]

Im looking at a 2021 gladiator overland. I took it home last night on a test drive. Sucked at driving at 70mph. It does have 33x12.5 tires. Might be a 12" wheel.. will that make it handle like shit?

[brandonherber]

I hope they fixed the back glass leaking on the new ones

[chasintrail]

I’m picking up my Mojave Tuesday (Punk’n). Thanks for the video.

[benoliver]

I feel ya, im running a Diesel rubicon gladiator and its incredible as a daily. I run 37s and still get 23mpg. I towed a 5klb trailer across the country easy with it. I dont need a half ton for towing and the glad kills them on the trails so its perfect for me.
