I’m kind of in the same predicament. I’m getting rid of my F150 this week while used car prices are high, and I’ll be buying a gladiator in October. My wife and I are taking a trip to the smokies and Gupton will be an hour away. So once the 2022's come out I will be ordering. I'm hoping that Jeep will bring Gator back, and would really like to see if Jeep will be releasing the newer version of Uconnect.
But anyways I am torn between which trim to get. Sport S max tow, Mojave, or Rubicon. I use to have a 06 TJ, but I sold it when I bought the truck b/c I had to become a big boy and buy a house as well. So to pay the truck off, I sold the Jeep. Didn't want a truck and mortgage payment at the same time when I first became a homeowner. Jeep released the Gladiator and I get the benefits of the Jeep and truck all in one. I always told myself the next time I bought a Jeep, I would just opt for the Rubicon. The amount of money I spent in upgrades and time I took to do it was just worth it to get the Rubicon next time and be covered under factory. So thats where my predicament is. In reality the sport s would be fine for the type of wheeling I will be doing. I have been in situations where a rear locker would have been nice, but I think the front locker is overdoing it. But I love the look of the highline fenders and the Rubicon hood. Something about the regular fenders and hood doesnt flow with me. But its only on certain vehicles if that makes any sense, it looks better with certain lift, paint, and tire combinations. However, with the mojave it would be nice just to have the rear locker, but I would hate to waste that nice suspension since I will be lifting it. Mostly likely 2.5in clayton overland plus. The reinforced frame and knuckles would be nice too, but personally Im not as much of a fan of the mojaves hood vs the rubicons. I would hate to purchase a vehicle solely based on the hood lol, but if I have to look at it everyday I would rather purchase something that I am going to like. And now that I am a bit older now and have an actual job and family. We will be taking more camping/overlanding trips and going to various offroad parks. Main reason why I wanted the Rubicon out of the gate was for the time it takes to do some of the upgrades. Idk its a big decision when you are spending that much money.
