2024 Gladiator Mojave reviewed in Moab, UT by Motortrend

[PuddleJumper]

The only beef that i have with the gladi is the front leg room. That along with the shape of the seat, squeezing my junk.

Yeah, I'm skinny. 145@6'5". And why I love the Mojave side bolstering. The seat base cups in an awkward way to where even I gotta find weird ways to put my leg so my junk ain't one good pot hole away from misery. However it does feel like the most spacious midsize for a tall person. I'm one of the few that is glad it didn't come with a dead pedal. I can fully stretch my off leg to the firewall for long trip comfort

I can't get past the article showing a Gladiator plowing through sand. Mine can't go a half mile on the sand without the manual transmission throwing it into limp mode. But it's "operating normally". Desert Rated my foot.

Glad I didn't get a manual. I'd have limped mode it in the dealer parking lot. pin throttled and clutch dump on my way out to just get a big no no from the Almighty Jeep Nanny. I still want a 2 door manual wrangler tho.

User error…..

naw man i read his posts. Bro was babying it across the sand, clutch ain't even hot yet and the computer just rained on the fun for no reason. and his initial dealer couldn't even figure out how or why. Jeep Problem

that’s funny. It was the first thing the dealer said. Then the pulled all the metrics and apparently I was driving it “within spec” but was still exceeding the capabilities of the clutch. Jeep needs to own that the clutch is garbage, and put better ones in.

I probably would have screwed up because I like to keep my rpm up. Not sure if that's smart in sand. Snow and ice that's different, I go for highest gear possible but most other stuff I give it throttle. Maybe in sand I'd bury myself.

Adding throttle, it will either fix the problem or end the suspense

Article wasn’t bad but where did they pull the 0-60 time? 5.8 seconds on the V6. I wish….

i wish i got 400 mile out of a tank of gas. I am luck to get 15 mpg in my Rubi

You'd be surprised what I've hauled - more than "a sheet or two", etc.
The tailgate half down I believe is good for 500.
Consider that only one end of anything is on the tailgate, the other 2/3 is supported in the bed and as far as "on a couple of 2x4s" consider how they are oriented and what they rest on. The bulk of all weight is actually still on the truck bed.

I hauled an entire pallet of vinyl flooring in mine. Pretty sure it rode on the bump stops.

even the 16 footer will fit - open the rear window, drop the windshield and your in business! Try that in a Taco!

This is true, although you can also do a 16 footer with the windshield up and the board laying across the rear headrest and tailgate

I don't understand why people complain about the JT's short bed - there's always this option for hauling longer stuff -
