Just purchased my first jeep, a 2023 gladiator Mojave fully spec’d. Have to wait a week as it’s being delivered to me from out of state. Couldn’t find the exact one I wanted locally. Found mine in Texas. Took advantage of year end discount. I rented a rubicon for a few months and fell in love. I chose the Mojave because the suspension, frame and engine cooling, to name a few, have some upgrades. Beefier frame, upgraded fox suspension with reservoirs and heavy duty cooling to name a few. I live in the country down a 2 mile dirt road that gets messy after rain. This jeep will snarl at this road when my Silverado felt like it was falling part on my road. I spent a few months with a gladiator and glad I did. Waited for some good sale and was happy with the results. I got what is considered low Apr in todays market so that also makes me happy. And thankfully, I got retail for my duramax diesel I traded in after I spent 80k miles with Durby, my 2500 Silverado LTZ I traded in. I’m excited to start up-fitting!

I thought the Gladiators were ugly. And then I saw this Gobi Mojave a year ago in your video and I feel in love! I bought this Jeep 2 months ago now and I'm completely in love with it!

Great review on the Mojave. Just a side note. The 7 slots didn't come from conquering the heardest trails in 7 continents. The 7 slots was a trademark move in the mid-1940s to differentiate Willy's front grill design for their Civilian Jeep (CJ) from that of Ford's 9 slot grill on the GP (GP...Jeep...sounds familiar?) that dates back to WWII.

I think I’d prefer the Mojave over the Rubicon for the Gladiator. With that long wheelbase and bed, you cannot do the crazy rock crawling you can in a Wrangler. So the Rubicon model is kind of pointless unless you mod the hell out of it and put giant tires. The Mojave setup seems to match the truck better.

Just bought a 2022 Mojave today. Man these things are dope lol. Thanks for reviewing it

Really appreciated the clear, calm, detail-oriented review. I'm looking closely at a Gladiator in the coming year and this is one of the best reviews I have seen. Thank you!

I bought a 2020 Jeep Mojave used with 2K miles. I saved about $10K over a comparably equipped 2021. I am very pleased with the truck. It will never be a rock crawler unless you lift it 4 inches and put the 40s on it...even so, I doubt it would fare well in the rock crawling environment. Its wheelbase is just too long to be a good rock crawler. So I opted for a capable off-roader that could soak up some of the abuse on the trail. I have no real plans to be a technical driver with my current vehicle. I will tag along on trail rides and take the easy bypass when necessary. I will use it to go camping in remote areas where it can help me negotiate the trails. The extra ride height and width will help stabilize the truck while a locking rear diff will get me through most of what I expect to encounter. I plan to use mine for weekend camping getaways and for ski trips and while exploring in the Rockies. A good winch and recovery set will ensure that I get where I am going.

I have the identical twin of this Mojave you reviewed! Same model/year/color/trim/etc. Absolutely LOVE IT!

Great review, the best I’ve seen. Thanks!

Best auto review I’ve seen so far.

You have such a relaxing voice to listen to. Thanks for this video.

Nice review, keep it up!

Great review, got another subscriber

This showed up in my suggested! Glad I saw it as I follow you on TikTok. Subbed!

Almost a year ago is this video, but if you don’t know, the back seats also flip down from the back to the front, more storage, but you can lock them with the key. So when you do have everything off, put stuff back there you don’t care to have stolen and lock it up. Glove box locks as well.

awesome review!! i love the Gobi color with the black wheels and orange accents

That jump was awesome man lol I was like WOW - very nice suspension right off the bat

Awesome video bro!! Thank you

Great review as always man!

Man, that looks like fun! Enjoy your youth while it lasts. Keep 'em coming.

It's by no means a Raptor, but it doesn't need to be; and, we don't want it to be. I like the idea of dropping a 392 in it with at least 35's.

This is one of the best reviews of the Mojave I have seen. Thanks for your attention to detail.

Great review

Best mojave review out there！

Awesome breakdown.

oh nice holy jim road! right in my backyard there. Used to be all offroad before they paved it and put the gate up a little ways up closing most of the trail.

Excellent .....Filming footage of the Mojave!!!!

Nice truck man.. congrats

I miss Trabuco! So much fun in that canyon. Kind of a bummer they paved it. Excellent video. Thanks for the detailed description. I'm going to be shopping in the next year for a new vehicle. Your channel is helping me decide on what to purchase. Thank you.

I don't think that dead space needs to be filled on the bed. But then, I don't like needless lines or stickers for the sake of having stickers and lines.

I love how your videos are so so soothing and calm thanks to your voice and the lovely background music. I just love them so much. Review my car, please! 😂 I will give it to you whenever! 🤗😂

As a Gladiator fan this is my favorite review. I must have watched it 10 times.

Gorgeous!!

Sweet looking vehicle! Love the Mojave. I have the 80th anniversary model, wish i had a Mojave

Awesome 💯 indeed love review love that Mojave!! How do I get one oh I wanted to ask about

Dude, you should’ve used your front facing camera for that obstacle. Nice review though.

Imagine they put the 392 in it like the upcoming Wrangler. Then it's definitely as good as a Raptor lol.

Something that I found is where the wipers go the holes in the wiper looks like the front of the jeep

great review... QUESTION: are those rock rail / steps the option or are these the rails that came with it stock? thanks!~

I definitely would not be riding with doors off in the desert. Why get dust and dirt all over the inside of a $60k Jeep?

This is the exact Jeep I want in the trim and color. Maybe I’d have it in a manual. Looks like you had fun!

I've owned 2 raptors both were the 6.2L v8. I'm definitely buying a mojave gladiator!!👍

This drives SOOO much better than a Rubicon JKU. Amazing truck.

Love the color.

Hey great job on the review. Man i would love to get a mojave but them $$$. Would be great to put a dirtbox camper on it for a bugout vehicle.

Bro. Your vids changed so much. Now you do all this in 30 seconds lol

Great color. Sometimes it looks grey or tan or green

This is definitely for us

Great vehicle. However you are wrong about the origins of the 7 slats on the grill. The 7 slats were there from the beginning before the vehicle ever came close to leaving USA. The 7 slats is the results of concern over copyright infringement.

Have you ever operated a motorcycle? Also where did you store the doors?

Definitely want this in a manual!

How tall are you looking at getting a gladiator wonder how it would be for me I’m 6’2

Great review and a nice truck but for the price I’d go with the raptor.

the car is just super and you can drift on it without problems I have in GTA 4

Excellent

Damn that Jeep is SEXY!! Take my money now 💰 💰

I think it’s only appropriate to say this when you own his jeep “AUTOBOT DISASSEMBLE !” Get it because you can disassemble the whole jeep 😂

Great review including the small details and photography. There is not a cooler truck on the market (at least right now).

phew what an anger many times close call again lol

No, it's not "designed for rock-crawling" -- it's not a Rubicon (that IS) with its locking front differential and detachable sway-bar. -- BR

I think the gladiator would have looked better with a shorter bed. I know that would defeat the purpose of a Jeep truck.

Where is that dirt road located at??

It's not designed for rock climbing whatsoever. That's what the Rubicon is for. The Mojave doesn't have front and rear lockers, different gear ratios, different shocks, stiffer frame among other things.

I’m still confused if it’s a mid size or full size truck

All that jeep did was extend the chassis of the wrangler to add a bed. The original gladiator was actually badass and a REAL work truck. Not a long body wrangler.

TOOO COOOOL

I wish it could be diesel hopefully in the future they will make it possible

Throw a 4x4 striker on there

While your review is accurate overall the one comment that I think you should be aware of is, simply put, without a front locking differential the gladiator Mojave is not a capable rock crawler.

Sorry I really wanted to ask about monthly payments also thanks

Looking good! But is it a offroader or a truck, like some comments say?

Anyone on here supercharged theirs?? I think that would be the only way I would consider driving one. Any opinions owners on here with the engine?

12.7 mpg???? Dang.

I would probably choose this over the Rubicon for overlanding. Just wish front locker and swaybar disconnect were included.

this is much better than the bronco raptor

Sure cost as much as a Raptor. lol

You're not doing high speed anything on any kind of bumps with a solid front axle.

wow?

Zr2 Colorado costs 15k less same type of vehicle

I wouldn't want to go high speed desert racing in any vehicle with solid front axle.

Jeep has had 7 slots since WWII, if the 7 slots mean anything it's to pay homage.

I own a Gladiator Rubicon in red . IG Chino.Geeks look me up

I just test drove a Gobi one that looks just like that. Cadillac ride on the road but the steering was a bit dead.

kia mohave ^_^

Seems pretty pointless. The only real change is the fox shocks, but that solid axle setup is still going to suck at high speed. There is a reason real race trucks have independent suspension. Also the lack of a front locker is kind of crazy. Same price as the Rubicon but you lose major capability? Yeah, no thanks.

Check out the review from Exodus. Much better.

1:40 "It is built for things like jumping..." Uh, no it's not. If you start jumping that thing you'll destroy the axles.

I prefer the Mohave! I like the Rubicon don’t get me wrong, but I’m not a rock crawler. The Mohave can handle a lot of crazy trails as it is a Jeep. I would like the the auto disconnect and front locker but if I’m honest with myself I need those things like I need a hole in my head. I love the stance and the suspension of the Mohave. That Gobi color is fucking awesome! Only thing I’d do is throw some 35’s on it.
