I know there are some real trail warriors out there. But any Wrangler or Gladiator on 35/37s will do more than most people will attempt.

I was trading in a 15 Rubicon and had a great trade value so I bought a Mojave so I could slap on 35s with no other mods and have a soft suspension for the crappy streets in New Orleans. If you want to run 37s you can carefully on stock suspension or do it with a 2” lift that keeps the expensive shocks and look super dope.
The package protected fenders are definitely really appealing but isn’t make or break. I live around New Orleans as well witch dealer did you end up buying you’re Mojave from? How was the buying experience?

Community motors in Hammond. With Covid protocols they just tossed me the keys and let me roam around. Their worksheet is pretty clean. The “fees” are all separated so you know what you are actually paying. They don’t sneak extra fees in there and no fake addendums with vehicle protection add ons.

Community motors has some good pricing on Mojave’s currently. How much did you get you’re gladiator for if I may ask.I might also go out of state looking around Texas and Mississippi

Got it right at 50. I think there is 1,000 cash on all Gladiator models so that 49 on the website probably includes that. I was looking for the black satin grill. Pretty much all of theirs have that.

I would buy the Mojave just due to the much stronger frame under it than the rest of the Gladiators. This is my preferance due to towing a side by side, and a travel trailer 3500 lb at different times thru the yr.

Hey everyone new to the forum and jeeping I Have been looking at buying a Jeep gladiator for my next vehicle and have narrowed the 2 models down to a willys and mojave. My biggest hangup on the willys is not having a rear locker. I know it has trackloc but it’s still not the same as a rear locker. Can any willys owners tell me how there’s preformed off-roading or a argument for getting a Mojave with the locker and more luxurious options.

I have a landscaping and grass cutting company so towing capabilities is something I’m concerned about but my trailer weight with equipment is not even close to the capacity of the Mojave.

I searched the web for days, if not weeks! Eventually I found a new 2021 Gladiator Mojave (6 speed manual) for $41K. Needless to say I purchased it that day!

Awesome! That seems like a phenomenal price! Option-free or did you add any extra stuff? They certainly come with everything you really "need"!

I love my Mojave. I’m not sure if it was mentioned but the Mojave has all of the max tow package specs without the label. Yes, the Rubicon can pull more weight (as well as the overland), but the Mojave is very capable for my needs.

I think I’m gonna replace the mud terrain tires with A/T. I’m not a fan of the road noise above 70mph.

You aren't able to tow 7650, like the Max Tow. You don't have the progressive rear springs. Do you have daytime running lights? Do you have the hitch zoom? Max Tow has those.

My Mojave has DRL, hitch camera zoom, 240 amp alt, heavy duty engine cooler.....so it appears to be max tow specs but with lower tow weight capacity.
