Had a 21 Willy's w/ cloth. Worst seats I've ever sat in. The leather in my Mojave are night and day. Actually enjoy taking long trips now

2025 Gladiator Mojito! Mojave X
I had leather on my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon they were good, but the leather seats on my 2025 Mojave are a notch better. My wife has the 2024 Wrangler Sahara with cloth and they are ok but not as comfortable compared to the Mojave... something she's let me know a few times too.

I have a 2025 Sport S with the max tow package and leather interior, I am 6’1 and I have been on a few couple hundred mile trips and I find the seats to be uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

Test drive and find out for yourself.....
that is the only real answer.
seats, seat fit, seat comfort- we're all different in size, shape, weight, height, age, afflictions of the joints, back issues, you name it.
No one can tell anyone else which seats are best. It doesn't work that way.
otherwise there'd only be one company making recliners and chairs for the home, and only one style of seat in all cars and trucks.

i find my Mojave X seats to be very comfortable - my Overland seats were great.
i prefer leather. my seats sort of cradle my back, help hold me upright on curves and such.
But - that's me!

I could never use seat jackers or other mods - so those who need those are obviously a different body type, size or weight than others are - otherwise everyone would need or have them.

No long drives in my Mojave X yet - nothing over an hour, but the Overlands, we drove both of those across the country and no complaints.

Test drive seems like the right answer, but a 2-4 hour test drive isn’t always feasible.

While that's true, it's also true that seats many will swear are perfect for them will cause some others pain.

For sure. Like buying a mattress.
I went with Saatva because it's like a full year "trial period".
(and my wife HATES shopping, so the decision was up to me and I had to play it safe!)

I feel for you guys on the mainland with long drives 😬 Here in Hawaii there is no such thing, the longest drive would probably an hour or so around the island :CWL: Having said that, I love the stock OEM seats cloth or leather, seems really comfortable to me for a Jeep but then again, I only sit for short drives.

2021 Gladiator Sport S 3.0
I find my 21 sport s to be pretty good. Although at one point early on, I was thinking about seat jackers to tilt the front up a little. Procrastinating and never done it so now I'm use to it.

OH and @MeanGreen, we are better lol jk
