I bought Mojave to attack modern city obstacles for my daily drive and loving it.

I bought a 2021 Mojave off the lot in Sarge Green. I LOVE IT. I live in Montana and it’s the perfect vehicle to get absolutely ANYWHERE.

I own a 2021 Gladiator Mojave in nacho color. It gets a ton of looks and compliments. It is truly a beast of a truck. I live in SW Florida and we get hellaous storms. The Mojave cuts through it all, no slippage, no hydroplaning. I have yet to take it off road but I primarily bought it as a convertible truck and its ability to plow through really bad storms down here. Taking off the doors and top, this thing is like nothing else on the road.

I just picked up my first Gladiator Mojave 2022. The ride is a lot better then my 2018 Wrangler “Willy”. I love the new truck style Jeep.

Got my Mojave 12 days ago in hydro pearl blue with 33” A/T Falcon and I love it!

[danleas]

Have mine for 3 months, this review confirmed that I made the correct choice. I love mine and many have told me it looks sexy,

I put Fox 2.5’s from a Mojave on my sport with Rubicon springs. Almost rides on road better than my f150 fx4 did. Off road it beats my f150 and trd pro tacoma. Love these damn trucks. Jeep did well

[BBAB]

I got my Mojave 8 days ago and I love it!!!!

[MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

I have my Mojave for 5 months now and I love it. I test drove both the 2022 Rubi and the 2022 Mojave. I pulled the trigger on the Mojave, such a better ride IMO. I wont be doing any rock crawling, so I felt this was the better option. I didnt know the max tow package was standard lol.

Just the information I have been looking for.
Great job in explaining the key differences between the two models

[timmurr]

I have the Mojave and I love it rides great on the highway.

[basedinstinct]

I'm sure the Mojave could do a bit of rock crawling and the Rubicon could go pretty fast in the desert.

[madmonster]

I fall in love with the look of this new Mojave model it feels like a beast with lots of potential and power, right now I have a Pajero 2018 but I’d switch to this new Mojave as soon as possible. I’m in love with this suv and so keen like I’ve never been towards any vehicle in my life, specially the price is reasonable as compared with all new tundra’s and chevys.

Great to hear this review. Unfortunately we’re only getting the sport and overland here in Germany.

[baggerjm]

Awesome . This is exactly why I'm buying a Mojave tomorrow and not a Rubicon. Here in Michigan, we go to Silver Lake Sand Dunes a couple times a year

[kevinadams]

I ordered an electric blue w silver steel leather seats. I've driven it off road for my job as a land developer...it's been airborne many times. It handles well at 75km hr and spinning and turning in the semi arid terrain.
We've driven it to Miami beach and back, kelowna, bc...and it handles so well on the hwys...smooth.

The look of this vehicle is slick...with the hard, soft or no top on at all...I added hydraulic steps for easier access for my wife...the 6 speed is a great additional while slamming in the dirt and hills...give it a go...it beats my jaguar xjl any day!

You can use the rear locker in 4x4 high on the Rubicon. Off-road+ is needed, turn on traction control, then turn off and hold for around 5 seconds. Now engage the rear locker.

[brianmuckey]

I bought a 2021 Gladiator Mojave love the ride

[pkoz]

Great overview! Unfortunately the hood scoop isn't functional for cooling. You will note it is a solid piece without holes and when you open the hood it is closed off underneath.

[johnkraft]

Tazer JL allows my rubicon to run in 2 wd or 4 high with locker engaged.
