Mojave from F150?

[Matts4313]

Hello! I have a 2021 F150 and I am very very tired of driving a full size pickup every day. I love the Gladiator but my jeep friends and my wife all hate it. I dont get the hate. I want a mojave / rubicon and there are few locally.

Question - anyone come over from full size? I don't tow. I just use the bed for mountain bikes and household stuff. Also, why the hate!??

2017 F150 => 2021 Ram 1500 => 2021 Gladiator Max Tow.

The ride and cabin noise are worse. The driving experience/fun factor is much much better.

ha! my best friend has a JK Rubicon and he just keeps saying "its not a truck. its not a jeep. its...not really anything"

That's like saying the Colorado isn't a Chevy, the Ranger isn't a Ford and the Brat isn't a Subaru. Common sense people know regardless of the model there's still a said maker of the a vehicle. Your friends' comments seem to weigh on the "clickish" and simple minded side. Or just plain morans. IMO

How about rear facing car seat and leg room? My wife is 5’3 and I’m 6 foot.

When my 6'2 son drives my JTRD and I'm in the back seat behind him, (front seat fully pushed back) I still have plenty of leg room and I'm 5'8.

I’m 6’1” and can adjust my front seat comfortably and then sit behind myself without my knees being in the seatback. It’s one of the big advantages the JT has over the Ranger and Colorado.

Me too at 6'2".

I came from a fully loaded 2020 ram rebel and went into a 2022 Mojave.

No regrets. It fits my needs better, and is a lot more fun to drive.
None of my vehicles are practical. A Gladiator. A Wrangler TJ and a Porsche Cayman.

They all serve a purpose and they all work for my needs. More than anything else, they are fun!

Agreed and the back seat is as comfortable as the front. I've driven from AZ to Kansas and back and Az to South Carolina with no qualms what so ever. With the noise defining head liners it's not bad at all and so fun to drive!

OP,
The only person who has to be happy with it other than yourself is your wife. Convince her or suffer the consequences.
Seriously, she is the only one who matters in your life.

I came from a Tundra Crew Max. I liked my Tundra but I'm really liking my High Altitude. It suits my needs better.
