Thanks for the education. Looks like these charging stations make EV wheeling do-able
in Moab. Jeep also have their own off-road charging stations, in Moab and Big Bear (close to me).
With 1k miles of trails, I would have to consider the distance from charging stations to the trails.
Now this...
Let's say you spend two days of off-roading at Moab. Going up hills and driving over rough terrain.
Seems to me that would deplete the battery much faster than driving on a paved road.
After 2 days I'm not sure how much battery charge would be left. For me this is where range
anxiety rears its...
My local Jeep dealer has a 2025 Gladiator with only 2500 miles on it, a lease return.
It has my interest but because it's used I can't deduct the interest. I think I'd be better
off buying new.
Sorry for the loss of Tuvak. Two of my cats died while in the veterinarian's office.
One was very sick when I brought her in, the other was in for a routine exam and neutering.
Losing a beloved pet is a miserable experience.
A provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill allows taxpayers to deduct up to $10k per year in car-loan interest
from 2025 through 2028. This applies to new U.S. assembled vehicles. Used vehicles and leases don't apply.
Gladiators are assembled in Toledo, Ohio, so they should qualify for the...
I was surfing YT videos looking for Mojave reviews. I came across this Driving Sports video that
shows the Mojave in action. See the rock course at 18:18 ? That's the limit I would take my Mojave on.
Nothing more extreme than that. And the Mojave did just fine.
I think my first mod would be 35"...
I live in SoCal (San Fernando Valley) and I rarely see Gladiators on the street or parked.
But I see plenty of Wranglers. Tons of those!
When I do spot a Gladiator it really catches my attention. I think they are cool and unique looking.
I hope to buy one in the next few months.
Well I have learned from reading all of your posts. Thanks for that.
From what I've read here I'm thinking the Mojave X would be best for me.
I don't intend on doing any rock crawling or driving through thick mud.
I think more like overlanding instead of extreme off-roading.
One more...
Yes, the smoother ride and better seats I find attractive. If I do get a Mojave it would be the X trim,
for the steel bumpers, trail camera, fender/body paint match, and a few other things.
I also like the stronger frame and steel steering knuckles, although I doubt I will do extreme
wheeling...
Thanks for the comments folks. The only wheeling I've done was back in the early 80s in
a Willys CJ2A. That was a lot of fun.
But back then I didn't go to off-road vehicle parks. I'd travel to isolated areas exploring mountain and desert trails. All by myself. A couple of times I got stuck, but...
If you own a Mojave, have you ever gotten in an off-road situation where having a front locker would have helped you?
I have read that a front locker is useful when wheeling in mud. I have little experience off-roading, that's why I'm asking.
I think the same question could be asked of the sway...
You won't know the out the door price until you visit the dealership in person and negotiate.
Be on your guard - they will try to sell you all kinds of add-on, accessories, and extended
warranties.
Be especially careful of a vehicle tracking device they may want to sell you.
I fell for that...
California, near Los Angeles. Here's the link...

Seems like a good price to me. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and have been following
Gladiator prices on dealer sites. I'm not seeing much in the way of discounts. But one
exception is this dealer selling a 2025 Rubicon X at $9k off...
