mojave or rubicon

[COmtnbiker]

From a Consumer Reports towing test and some other reports from the forum, apparently the Mojave tows terribly compared to the Rubicon due to the suspension (if you plan to tow).

I wanted a diesel so the ruby was my only option with Rubicon Or Mojave as my 2 choices . I'm sure the Mojave is kick a$$ but did not come with diesel .

I have been in both Rubicon and Mojave, stock Mojave wins. If you plan to rock crawl or change the suspension then don't get a Mojave.
For a smooth and fast ride get a JT Mojave IMO.

Yes… it’s from 2020, but…

We love our 21 Mojave!!!

IMO,, most people who go off road much will lift and do 35s so the stock ride is gone. My JTR rides great factory and I don't want to go 60 on any dirt road. For washboard I'll lower the PSI down to 20.

Ok I've watched video comparisons, read countless back and forth discussions about this thing. I know what I want.

A MORUBIMAX.

I don't think Jeep will do it because they are Chicken!

That would be a awesome Jeep but I would want to call it the Mojicon Max.

I think it's obvious what everyone wants is the Mojicon MaXtreme Recon 392 available in manual or automatic. Not that most of us could afford such a vehicle

MOJICON. I Think I have found the name of my Overland... can't accuse me of "stolen valor"

Mojave is the best riding and handling Gladiator/Wrangler. Period.

Your answers are Diesel and transfer cases. While the extra cooling the mojave gets can be added to any model with a towing package already, and the frame reinforcement could easily be made a Rubicon feature as well, there's nothing you can do about the engine choices and the transfer cases. A rubi should really have the 4:1 transfer case, whereas a desert runner really wouldn't want a 30mph top speed in 4lo. Additionally, the diesel engine does have heat issues, and would not be suited to a desert runner (which is why the diesel isn't an option for the Mojave to begin with. The only trim that wont let you select diesel).

As to why you couldn't just add SBD and front lockers to a mojave? that creates a defined delineation between the rubi and jave, and I don't think Jeep wanted to imply the Rubicon was the lesser of the two trims. Leaving the two trims as personal preference was almost certainly intentional.

The extra front axle weight of the diesel may be a bit of a liability ripping through desert terrain as well.

Most of NYC’s roads are like gravelly, desert-like terrain. The Mojave is actually very well suited for these conditions.
Traveling at speed on the BQE would be miserable in a Rubicon, but smooth in a Mojave. For my driving situations the Mojave > Rubicon.
