I have not driven a Mojave and I am sure it drives different than a Rubicon...it should as it is for a different purpose. Dirt roads are very fun in a Raptor, mud and rocks not so much....probably the same in a Mojave as well. I also find driving the Raptor on the highway, which I do 5 days a week 160 mile round trip each day, is an absolute dream. I can only assume the Mojave would be as well.......
Well, they're super nice...closest I ever got was a 2012 F150 FX4 - early in the V6 Ecoboost transition - and it was a great truck. Very comfortable and fast. I imagine the Raptor is that on steroids!

In what way?
I found that the Rubicon had a rougher ride, slightly more body roll when cornering, and the steering felt more vague / wandering on the highway, compared with the Mojave. It was noticeable.

There is no comparison performance wise between the current Raptor and the Mojave. Get real!! Raptor beats it in any measure of performance by a wide margin. Raptor is in a class by itself... well until the TRX becomes available.

If you'll read carefully, I never said the Mojave "performs" better. I just preferred it over the Raptor. I also said both feel slow, relatively speaking, to performance vehicles. Most of my daily-driver cars have had over 500hp for the last 20 years.

all relative. Your user name looks familiar perhaps from when I was into Corvettes.

Honestly... a truck is a truck. If you want a sports car buy a frigging sports car.

Forget straight line speed (bor...ing!!!)... a sports car will SMOKE any/all trucks when it comes to the combination of speed AND handling.

Yawn.... you may now return to your regularly scheduled program.

Exactly. Every single vehicle I buy or build has an intended purpose. I have zero interest in making a truck "fast". Are there some amazingly quick modified trucks out there? Absolutely. I just don't have an interest in that. I'd rather have fast cars.

Back on topic. The two colors are similar, but the Jeep is just a touch lighter. :)

And hurts it off road...
Off-road if you mean tight trails that a Jeep is perfect for....However that is not what the Raptor was designed for...it was designed for Baja type off road...fast smooth and very stable. Raptor and Jeep...two totally different machines...

I thought the point of the Mojave was desert running at speed?
