Do you regret buying a Mojave?

The suspension on this truck is unreal for a factory set up, on the beach I can hit 60mph and it feels like I’m on pavement. Street wise the suspension is great over bumps, I wince when a pot hole is about to be run over but the bang never comes, truly a superior gladiator, should be priced higher than the rubicon!

It is priced higher than a Rubicon now (very slightly). Pricing: High Altitude > Mojave > Rubicon.

it actually isn't. Visit the B&P again. You'll notice the rubicon on the B&P is white at the start of the build. The mojave is sting grey. Now click on both and make them the same color. They are still the exact same price.

If you think this truck has unreal/fantastic suspension treat yourself to a drive in a Colorado ZR2..... The Mojave is fantastic for a Jeep, but not as good as the ZR2. That said I still love my Mojave! But do miss the ZR2 sometimes.

Love mine, the ride/handling trade off is the best I’ve experienced in a stock Jeep. I went in knowing that the most I was planning for suspension upgrades was a 2” lift and 35” tires, if I was planning a crazy trail rig I definitely wouldn’t have paid the premium.

ZR2 was my other finalist, I agree that the Multimatic shocks are epic. Sadly I HATED the seats, found the interior to be bland and cheap, the backseats to be smaller, and honestly preferred the Jeep V6 (though I don’t love either). Plus I can still do Jeep stuff and get a manual transmission. I would never knock somebody for going with the ZR2, but once I drive a Mojave my decision was easy.

The seats in the Mojave are certainly much better, as for the rest of the interior of the Mojave, it really is just better all around. You're right, can't beat the rear seat size in the Gladiator in this mid size sector. I also always enjoy my Jeeps for the roof and doors off thing, hard to beat that feeling. I had the diesel, which was ultimately the reason to get rid of it due to endless emissions issues.

I also appreciated the endless aftermarket support for Jeep products. As an example I wanted to mount my WARN M8000s on the ZR2, but couldn't actually get any bumper for less than 3K, and the install is not reversible without spending tons more money. With the Jeep product I ordered the ARB stubby and installed it and the winch in my driveway with no help and it was only $1000CDN.

Def not trying to put down the Mojave, overall I'm pretty happy with mine!! When the next Gen ZR2 mid size comes out I will certainly be giving it a look but not for the 1st 2yrs. It will come with a 2.something 4cyl turbo and the same 10 speed auto as the Rangers.

Is that the stock exhaust? Sounds sweet!

Our 2022 JL 2 Door has a 70's sweet sports car sound. Love it!

To me at least from my test drives, I felt like the Mojave was the best suspension setup for the street out of all of the Gladiators I drove. I just thought it looked better than the other models too for some reason. If I had to go back and buy one again I would still buy the Mojave.

I drove the Mojave Road in my Mojave.

I preferred the Mojave over the Rubi but for one thing. I could not order the brown leather saddle seats for the Moje.

Doing this year. How many days? How were the crossings?

Yep, I went through this too last year, it is almost impossible to get a midsize truck (beside the Gladiator) with anything other than a pure black interior. And in the one or two cases you can, you cant get a sun roof. Granted F-tops can be a PIA, but when they are off they outdo a sun-roof. And agree, the Mojave interior is just much more refined all around than anything else in this segment. My leather seats are spectacular and on par with my 2003 Cadillac STS leather seats (which I still own and they don't "sag" ;-)).
