Not sure on the Mojave, but I have owned two Sport S and two Rubicon 's. On the equipment print out ( similar to a build sheet ) it list two different seat cushions. One is an "A" and the other is a "B". In the Rubicon the seats are more comfortable. I am 6'2" and 285. The Sport S really hurt my right leg after an our or so....and my rear. The Rubicon not so much. I am going to modify the seat track on the driver's side for additional travel. I would suppose the Mojave as well as the Rubicon has the better seat cushion. The side bolster is more prominent on the Mojave and with my 56" chest was too much for me. I hope this helps!

My Mojave was not comfortable for long rides until I added seat jackers. Makes all the difference.

I find the Mojave seats to be very comfortable. I have the cloth seats and they still look almost new after almost 100k miles. Light years ahead of my old JK seats.

Test drive and find out for yourself. Mojave owners always think that their vehicle is the best.

Our Mojave is very comfortable... We've taken it on 8 hour & 12 hour driving trips without any complaints.

It's not as comfortable as other vehicles we've owned.... and not as comfortable as the hubby's BMW.

It's all about YOU and what you're used to, what you expect, and what you're going to do with it.

I know it's an older package that isn't offered any more but, I have the Overland (ordered 5/19, delivered 7/19) with the cloth seats and I find them more comfortable that the seats in my '19 Grand Cherokee Ltd.

I have done very long trips in mine, both towing my travel trailer, and just driving to a place (was over 700 miles one way, done in one day) and they were totally comfortable. The cloth really holds up well too. Of course, the very first thing I did when I get her home was to 'Scotch Guard' the seats.

My Mojave's seats are very comfortable. I've driven over 1,000 miles in a day with zero discomfort. I will say I also don't have any nagging injuries, but if I did I wouldn't buy a Jeep. As far as cloth vs leather, I went with cloth because I live on the surface of the sun.

I just drove to Gatlinburg and back this weekend from Southern Ohio in my '21 Mojave. Zero complaints with the seats. I thought they were very comfortable and I do like the bolstering of the seats. Kinda reminds me of the ones I had in my Mustang and SRT Chargers. But to be fair, I don't have experience with any other Gladiator trim to compare them to...

12 hour drives from Minnesota to Missouri and back in my Sport S, no issues. However everyone is different as far as comfort levels go unfortunately. The truck itself rides like a tank with the lift and 37s but the Bilstein shocks have made a difference as far as that goes. The seats are fine for me for cross-country drives, no better or worse than any other vehicle I have owned.

I'm six feet even, about 210 pounds, and I drive a 2022 Rubicon with cloth seats and seat heat. This truck has the most uncomfortable seats of any vehicle I've ever owned. Zero bolstering, so I slide around all over the place in normal driving, much less offroad. Even slammed as low as they go, the seats are uncomfortably high for me. Too little lumbar support, and it's about 6 inches too high for my actual lumbar (and the little dial to adjust it is squished between the seat and door, making it hard to adjust while driving).

I DO enjoy how high up my back the seat heat goes. That's nice on a cold morning or when my back is sore.

Best seats I ever had were in a 2017 WRX. I wish I could afford to pull a pair and adapt them for the JT.
