If you were in Jeep Management, what changes would you make to the Gladiator?

They didn't make diesel Mojave to my knowledge.

No they didn't to my knowledge either. I misread your post. I was saying that the Mojave suspension would have to be reworked to have about 1000lbs more forward of centerline with the diesel to keep it working the way the Mojave was meant to.

35" Tires for certain, Bluetooth TPMS sensors should be standard, these 433.92 too much interference. GCWR printed inside the door, there seems to be enough room. Door Side Pockets revamped, at least a plastic molding with Cup holder, this netting is useless. Tow Mirror Option. And Really important, Make the Secondary battery on Top and accessible without ripping have the truck apart.

Mojave Orange Paint code.

They'd have to change the suspension in the Mojave to accommodate the diesel, I think that's why they didn't offer it. The diesel and transmission change is about an extra 1000lb over the 3.6. Mojave is a dune running suspension, soft to the touch not great for weight (no offense intended), look at the Rubicon number between gas and diesel, that 1000lbs gets taken off the tow rating

This thread mentions a curb weight of +400lbs and -200lbs less payload for the diesel against comparable Rubicon model.

A la cart……..

Everything and anything that Jeep produces and/or options on ALL their vehicles…should be A LA CART on any of their vehicles… with additional options to add 35’s or additional hard/soft tops,etc.

Granted….. you’d get exactly what you wanted but it would probably cost you TWICE it did before.

I want everything the Grand Cherokee limited has, but in a Gladiator on 35’s please.

I didn’t realize the diesel weighed 1k more. Thanks for the info. I had no idea. That would definitely change the ride of the Mojave. No offense taken at all. I knew the Rubicon diesel tow rating was less, now I know why.

Other things to add to my list…
A hard top where the back window doesn’t leak.
A transmission dipstick.
Hood locks on all Gladiators

2 door short and long bed variants, heavy flywheel and solid clutch manuals standard on all trims. V8 factory options addable to any trim, 345 for 6k extra, 392 for 14k extra. Dana Upgrade packages on the axles, I.E you can factory order super 60s (+8k) and any gearing of your choice (800 buck). Base price starting a 26k on a sport. 52k max base price with no add ons for the top trims. Any color all years. if Jeep offered it once, its available till that generation is retired.

A model/trim level without all the removeable top stuff. I do enjoy taking the top off 3 or 4 times a year, but if I could just get a model with a permanent top that has less road and wind noise, I'd much rather have that.

Or maybe the The Freedom top with a hinge so it just flips over the back.

Search Labs | AI Overview

Generally, an inline engine, particularly an inline-six, is often considered to produce better torque at lower RPMs compared to a V engine due to its inherent design advantages like smoother power delivery and better balance, making it a preferred choice when prioritizing torque production.

Key points about inline engines and torque:

• Balanced design:
  Inline engines, especially inline-sixes, have a naturally balanced design which minimizes vibrations and contributes to smooth power delivery, leading to better torque production.
  
  
• Firing order:
  The consistent firing order in an inline engine provides a more even torque curve, while a V engine can experience slight torque fluctuations due to its angled cylinder arrangement.
  
  
• Crankshaft length:
  Inline engines usually have a longer crankshaft compared to V engines, which can contribute to better torque delivery.

However, it's important to note that:

• Engine specifics matter:
  While inline engines generally have a torque advantage, the specific design and engineering of both the inline and V engine will significantly impact the final torque output.
• Modern technology:
  With advanced engine technology, the gap between inline and V engines in terms of torque can be minimized.

Stop using AI for search results, it's been shown again and again that they are very wrong. This is the quality of data you get when you train AI on social media posts.

The argument over engines can go on until doomsday. That said I would rather have the 4.0 out of my TJ any day. My TJ is 20 years old easy to work on and still runs like it did when new. In 180K it has been tuned up, the brakes replaced, and a new AC compressor. Instead of removing the intake to tune it up it takes less than a hour to do the job.

There's no real argument.

Some people believe the longtime shadetree myth that inline engines make more torque than Vs. It's one of those things that just gets repeated and passed down without any actual thought or experience applied. They use groupthink and personal anecdotes as proof.

And those people are simply wrong.
