FNG introduction

Hmm doesn’t the Mohave have the 4.10 gears standard, the 3.73 don’t even look like they’re available. But what’s the max tow, tow package? I don’t see myself towing anything but if there’s other benefits. I love ACC, awesome feature.

The Sport comes standard with the 3.73 gears. The Max Tow is a package on the Sport that adds the 4.10 gears and wide axles. Mojave and Rubicon come standard with the 4.10 gears and wide axles.
Don't confuse "tow package" with "Max Tow".

Mojave is better suspension. Better on rutted roads, dirt roads, dunes, etc. Even better than other models on road. Rubi is better for slow speed rock crawling.

Gotcha! Okay so I’m right in my thinking, Mojave is what I want. That makes more sense, I’ve updated my first post to say I’m looking at the Mojave, I didn’t realize I forgot to add that.

I wish I would have checked the leather box when I ordered my Rubicon. Pain in the @$$ to get mud out of the fabric seats.

Sorry but someone has to say say it, someone as a joke named a desert Mojave, but pronounced it Mohave, and to make matters worse the "J" is next to the "H" on the keyboard so people accidently mispell it sometimes.
Going from a Scat pack as a daily driver to a Mojave with limited off road roading might be the way as suspension is excellent all around, if you decide you want to do heavy hauling , over heavy towing, the soft rear suspension is a liability. I have a nicely loaded leather Mojave but regret not getting the aux switches and prox door locks. when buying a car and keeping payments low is important, some things just do'nt make the cut.....Jack

Welcome, Challenger85.
From your description, I would get the Mojave w/all the electronic goodies. In settings you can adjust things like accident avoidance to your liking.
My biggest advice is drive your new Gladiator for several thousand miles BEFORE you do any major modifications. Some people have the dealer install 35’s or 37’s before they take delivery, and never have any idea what they have lost in performance. Then complain it never gets to 8th gear. It’s not going to be like your Challenger, but stock it’s a damn good package!

Ah man the leather is really nice but I didn’t know if I wanted to add $1,700 plus I have dogs. ?

I was going to say, as Jack did, it's best to correctly name the Gladiator trim as Mojave.

You can add aftermarket Katzin leather over the cloth seats.

Ah hell. I’m a stickler for spelling and being correct, I don’t even know how I missed that! ? Interesting thoughts on the suspension. I don’t think I’ll be doing any towing or hauling to be honest.

Yep, I asked for a quote an hour ago. I’d rather just cover the front and have a special cover for dogs in the back.

Thanks! That’s how I was leaning. As far as all the safety stuff I’m currently not planning on adding it. I have it all in my Challenger and it all works really well but it bumps the price up significantly on an already expensive vehicle. I’ve used the ACC probably once in my car and that’s only because I wanted to test it out. Cool tech but it’s a weekend warrior not a daily driver so I don’t know how useful it truly is to me. I will keep it stock for awhile I’m sure. It looks good on 35-37’s but it also looks great on just the 33’s with that 1” lift. I’m weighing my options on this and depending on the discount I can get will dictate what I want to spend. Being around 46-47 after the discount is about where I want to be so my financing can me around 38-40 after a down payment.

My only regret is that I wish I had purchased the proximity unlock as the key fob is big and catches on other stuff in my pocket when I pull it out to unlock the door. My wife's car has the proximity key fob and she can keep the keys in her purse the whole time.

Same here! Still walk up to it thinking it will open like every other car on the planet these days!

We had the proximity on the Q3 and you get used to it pretty quick.

Would it be nice to have it on the Gladiator? Yes. Do I regret not getting it? No.

I'm actually happy you can change the settings when locking it, since I hate the horn beep when it locks.

OP:

You need to hit up pixeldecals.com for on-brand stickers. They'll add up to 2 optical inches on your ride and make it capable of all 6+ rated trails. ? But seriously, if you want a bit of flair for your very own rig, order from them.

A good phone holder (I got one I saw on Instagram, it's one-handed operation and doubles as a cupholder; totally blanking on the name).

Awesome! I got some 15HP stickers online for my car and it was way faster afterwards!!

Proximity can be added for around 300-350 after the fact if you dont mind pulling door cards.
