I just cannot build a Mojave for what this lot is asking for the one I was looking at.
$45k it has remote start, cloth seats (I want these) tow package and hard top. The only things I would add would be heated seats. I would probably try and find a used soft top down the road.
To be honest if I was ordering one now I would only add heated seats to that one and maybe little things like engine block heater and/or auto transfer case. Neither of those are really deal breakers for me though.

If I build it like this:
Sting-Gray
premium black sunrider soft top
Remote Proximity
Automatic Transmission (I would get manual and save a few bucks but payload sufffers too much)
Cold Weather Group
Tow package
$50,910

I love the heated seats and steering wheel. Cruising down the highway in winter in a Jeep lets is some cold air up top (and I have the hard top). Nature of the beast. Having the seat heat on low and the heated wheel on is super nice. Like sitting around a fire on a cold night!

Recent cold temps have me appreciating the remote start as well.

My little car I have now has heated seats just on/off and I use them all the damn time. My sister bought a brand new tahoe and it has heated steering wheel and its pretty nice. I even use them in the summer, get out the gym and put the heat to the ole back lol

I mean this one looks pretty good honestly.
here
Max Tow, heated seats, prem stereo, engine block heater. just doesnt have remote start but not a deal breaker.

Mine doesn't have Max Tow but, like you, I don't plan on towing anything of consequence.
And I didn't pay anywhere near the sticker price.

Have you test driven any of them? If they hold up is options then your best bet is to build them or to wait and keep looking. Test drive one with a soft top, and one of the hard top to see the differences. When towing you never want to be close on capacity.

Lemme ask something. Maybe ive been wrong the whole time.
Do ALL the gladiators come with dana 44 axles front and rear but max tow/rubi/mojave come with a slightly wider version with 4.10?

I have not gotten to drive one yet. I have driven alot of jeeps though, I had a 2003 Rubicon, a 2011 4 door. I have a K5 blazer now thats just a huge ass truck. Ive been trying to get time to go test drive and take wife with me but she is a school teacher and usually not home until 4-ish and it doesnt leave a ton of time.

I do not know. I'm certain that someone here can answer that question.
I see you were looking at the Performance dealer in Columbus. That's where I got mine. Good folks, so far. By the way, they no longer show the 2020 you were looking at as being available.

You guys better get back here and shitpost some more soon :D

Gladiators come with 44 rears, max tow, Ruby, Moja have lower ratio and wider axles. I priced up starting low and loading up, if you want most of the extras on a higher level truck and you are not planning to take everything off and build it up , the higher level trucks do very well then. I could not get several options at the time on lower level trucks. I'll check the on edealer by me they had a bunch of Gobi gladies a while ago incuding severalMojave, including a basic Mojave soft top......Jack

Another little thing, I signed up for Tread Lightly donation, they give you a FCA Jeep control number that in my case dealer showed me that it saved me $475, cost $100 tax deductible to a good cause, and I ended up saving $375 net.
The one Jeep has a leveling kit and 35" tires on it with 3.73 axle ratio, a lot of guys post here that is not always an great setup power wise, my Mojave is on 32.8" tires with a 4.10 ratio and I do not consider it a powerful setup, but good enough.

"But max tow/rubi/mojave come with a slightly wider version with 4.10?"
