I just want to get the message out and for people to stop being in denial and talking about how great the Mojave rides because it doesn’t, don’t want anyone new to make the mistake of getting a harsh ride by choosing to get a Mojave.
Yeah, but you are trying to 'get the word out' for something that appears to only be an issue for you and your Mojave. You are the only one complaining about Mojave ride quality. I don't remember any posts from any other members saying anything negative about the ride of a stock Mojave. Just because we don't share your opinion doesn't mean we are in denial, we just don't agree with your opinion.

Well that explains it folks "Simply physics" - thank you for clearing some of my questions up about you.
I know yours doesn’t ride better than something that isn’t lifted and less aggressive, no denial here

I’m not the only one, there have been others

It wouldn’t be only for me either because mine is identical to every other Mojave stock

How about we take this down a notch and get back to what the op wanted answered.

Ride quality is subjective, meaning it’s all personal opinion @JET_83 likes overland and sports. That’s okay. Not everyone is going to share that opinion because it’s subjective. Other people like the feeling of a lifted vehicle and that’s okay. I thought my old Chrysler 200 rode amazing, reviewers and forum people disagreed and thought I was an idiot. You know what it doesn’t matter though because I was happy and I didn’t let it get under my skin. Let’s all just let differences be differences.

@Azelja To your question. I think considering an auto is your best bet. I really wanted a manual but I ended up going max tow because of all the payload and towing math others have already stated.The Rubicon isn’t for everyone, it’s capable, but sometimes, like in my case, the lockers and sway bar disconnect just weren’t a need as much as they were a want. I put 33s on the max tow and I love it and is more capable than I am at the moment. Whatever you choose I’m sure you’ll be happy and will fit your needs, or your needs will mold to the vehicle.

That’s fair but I know about the ride quality of the Mojave and know mine is identical from every other one so no one is gonna tell me the ride quality is great because I know better.

That’s fair too, you have experience with it and others should respect that your opinion is valid. Some may love how theirs feels to them though, so to each their own. The best advice we can give a prospective buyer is to go do an extensive test drive of multiple models to see what model will fit the ride quality and capability that they desire.

They do in an overland because it’s not lifted nor does it have the aggressive ATs
You should look into a Ford Maverick. Will give you that comfortable cushy ride you are looking for and give you a truck bed.

And better fuel economy too but I don’t like the looks of them, I thought about the ranger too because that engine with the turbo is sweet, but I like the versatility and looks the most when it comes to the gladiator.

The overland is cushy enough for me more so than the Rubi and Mojave

Ok. Well at least you have established that you like the versatility and looks of the Gladiator and you hate the ride of the Mojave. Personal choice and experience. I get it. Most people who didn’t like the drive of a Rubicon and then a Mojave would just bail on owning a Jeep. You have established that you know what you want and it’s a stock Overland. You hate the drive and comfort of your Mojave. Totally subjective! Be sure to post your new Overland and how much you love it.
