Jeep's new #GladiatorMojave is the first-ever #DesertRated #Jeep designed for customers who plan to take their Jeeps on high speed sand dunes in the desert. Building on the #Rubicon trim, the #Mojave adds special #FoxRacing shocks, additional ground clearance, and strengthening under the hood and for the chassis to handle hard bumps and jumps. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Good morning everyone and Happy Sunday, hope you all are having a nice weekend! We filmed this video in a more Vlog style, like our Outback video last week and those of you who asked to see Sofyan's husband in the video, he will be making an appearance here. We originally were supposed to drive the Gladiator Mojave last month in Palm Springs, CA, but that trip got cancelled, so Jeep sent us the truck here in DC. Sadly, all the off-road trails were closed around us, so our off-roading was limited to some gravel/dirt roads. Sorry if that disappoints you, but we hope you all stay healthy and safe during this tough time. Just like all of you, we are very much looking forward to life returning to "normal" around the world because a truck like this will make you want to go on an outdoor adventure ;)
What would it been cool is saying you guys removing the doors.
Hi Sofyan, I want to thank you for the excellent auto reviews you provide and the courage to be yourself. I am also gay but lived most of my life in the closet. I am getting better at liking myself. 👍🌈
@@sachemrock Welcome to the community. I have never been in the closet myself, but after being around for 47 years, the community, at least in the south, is not what it used to be.
Ok so I had an unlimited as a loaner for a month and loved it. You are right about the dead bugs and maybe the hair, they definitely wander, but I actually averaged 24 in it according to the computer. It is so funny how you banter back and forth. Keep up the car vids as I am not a fan of gaming lol.
Proud of you Sofyan for coming out. It took me a long time to come out co-workers and accept it. Thank you for being genuine and the excellent auto reviews. All the best to you and hubby.
For a daily driver the Subaru is a better choice. If you do extensive off-road, the Mojave is a better choice. I think the Subaru was a wiser choice for your lifestyle. I think Cedar prefers the Mojave. Fantastic video!
awe he said husband instead of partner. GOOD! :)
So does he also call him husband or wife?
Thats gay
why does it matter what he calls him!!!!!
@@Shakenunez Wow. You're so intuitive. Thanks for spending some brain cells on that creative comment.
He usually says “spouse”. I think “partner” sounds better, but “husband” is best! :)
Wow....63,000 for the Mojave and no safety features you get standard with most new cars....that is almost price gauging.
It might be on a discount after this pandemic. Car sales should drop at least 40%.
That’s fuckin crazy. The sticker for my Wrangler Unlimited Sahara Altitude was 55K and the only thing it didn’t come with was the cold weather group (No need for it in Georgia, I got the Advanced Safety Group instead) and all terrain tires.
That price is BS, go build one yourself. If you tick every single option including the safety stuff it's $65k. These are priced exactly the same as the Rubicon, expect the ones on the dealer lots to be high $40ks to mid $50ks.
Gentlemen: Congratulations on your marriage, and the overall success of this channel. I don't see the Gladiator as being either a comfortable or practical daily driver for anyone who isn't a hardcore enthusiast. Too much money for too little on-road comfort, but a nice toy if you can afford one.
One does not buy a Jeep because it is practical or comfortable. You buy it for the image.
Chad Wilson , anyone who buys a vehicle for the image and not their own needs and wants is buying a vehicle to impress others. That shouldn’t be anyone’s motivation for buying a vehicle.
@@sachemrock, quite a bit of car purchasing is about image, otherwise we would all be driving beige minivans.
Chad Wilson , I don’t agree but your entitled to your opinion. Spending thousands of dollars to impress others is stupid!
@@sachemrock Stupid or not, we all do it to a certain extent.
The rear view of the jeep still doesn't look right. It reminds me of a model T.
The bed looks so awkward and shallow. Feels like everything can fall out of the bed.
6:57 is the best part of this whole video.
Cute doggie!!!!!
Sofyan: my husband is not a car person
Husband: does a slight burnout 1:08
Okay, I'm so glad you are both finally on camera. Thanks for another great review and thanks for being you!
Great review, Sofyan!! Glad you included your hubby and Cedar in your review. Beautiful fam! Now back to the review: the Gladiator Mojave is a great looking truck but the Outback was definitely the wiser choice!! Lol
Please create more content with your husband - you are a great couple.
I really like the interplay between the car enthusiast and the average driver. You should do some more of that in your reviews.
Finally we met him!!! 🤪 you should include him and the dog too, would be lovely to see redline family reviews 🙌🏻
man im sorry but Raptor any day over this at that price
I agree.
Yeah. A way better, comfortable, option. But if you love being able to modify it, I believe the Jeep has far more options in comparison.
I just don’t like the look of the gladiator
Well, you will actually be able to buy these for like $50k and a typical Raptor is like $75k, so in real world pricing it's not that close.
Happy to see Blake on the channel!!
Yall look adorable together. Congrats on your marriage!
Knock me over with a feather. I thought Sofyan and Alex from Alex on Autos were a thing.
🤣
it's clear they certainly enjoy each other's company....when i heard they were doing a video with matt maran i was thinking matt was gonna be the third wheel, lol
to me it’s a shocking discovery on his orientation.
ha alex has his own husband
@@pashakrai4034 It's just you.
I think it's great that you're introducing your husband and that adorable pup into your reviews! I wish you and your family continued success, my friend!
Way to much $$$$.
Congrats guys on your marriage! Nice to see y’all together in the video!
I really like this car but can't justify having it, also won't fit in my house, but would love to have either this or the Rivian pick up. Love hearing you say "husband" ;) sounds much more natural and you two look great.
Awe! Love you guys! Too cute! Timely review since I’m comparing the Outback, Wrangler Unlimited, and Gladiator.
OK at 7:00 I just smiled and smiled and smiled. That beautiful pup!
Definitely agree Jeep should lower pricing on gladiators and wranglers but at the same time you're getting more than one car with your purchase. The gladiator in particular is a truck, convertible, and off road rig. That's what I like the most about them.
The cool factor on this thing is off the charts!
"...Cuz this is just more manly!" best response ever! 😂🤣
Wow,car journalist in USA is definitely so lucky to have new cars to delivered to them for review.In my place,journalist have to go through hard ways to secure one.
Never owned a pick up and can’t imagine ever owning one, but I get the appeal of the Gladiator. You have a Wrangler with a bed so you can go off road and get a lot of work done. They do look odd in person, almost like one of those custom jobs.
finally i was waiting for this car to be review from you
Cute dog and Smart Husband! Loved his comments. Every Jeep should be available in Army Green and come with "extra" soldiers! You both made the right choice with the Outback. Congrats on your marriage! Stay healthy, and keep the snarky comments about vehicles that "deserve it" coming! We love it!
This is my favorite Jeep! Not this trim in particular but I think the Rubicon one with the red paint is so cool. One of my neighbors had one and it just towers over everything 😂. I think he lifted it a little bit though, not sure. Unless Rubicon is taller than this
My 30yo best friend just bought a wilderness green 2015 Outback Limited with 22k miles on it. He's obsessed with the car but lowkey self conscious that he bought an old lady car. We all love it and think it fits him and his lifestyle perfectly.
I love my 2020 Jeep gladiator rubicon. I love the show keep it up
We need more of your dog!!
Question:
Crash Rating and Safety.
Does the Gladiator give you any concerns about crash safety or crash survivability as a daily driver? Thanks!
Lucas Beradi , it gives me concern as someone who is alive today because I was in a well designed highly rated car in terms of safety when I had my accident in 1998. Safety is an important consideration for me.
@@sachemrock Thanks for sharing your experience.
Lucas Beradi it gives me concern. I don’t want to put my family in anything other than something that will protect us. I like the looks and really like the new Wranglers, but honestly it’s going to be a daily driver safety and crash ratings matter. I don’t off road enough to justify the price and lack of security as well. It sucks because I really want one lol
yes sofyan bey you brought back that old intro music thank you
I’m more looking forward to the high altitude one. I wanna see a video of that one pls!
I work for an FCA supplier Hydro Blue is a really nice colour probably my fav
I did ride in the back seat of a wrangler unlimited on a 6 hour drive and it was horrible. I’m relatively tall and it felt like I was sitting in a preschool chair. It would be less painful to rip my eye from it’s socket than to go through that again😖.
Dope review! 🔥
I love that you're not closeted. Best wishes to you guys.
Honestly I was more excited to see your puppy :D
Such a cutie!
Anyone that I have known that has owned a FCA product: they have gotten rid of it before the warranty ends due to the amount of problems they have.
Nathan Vincent they are smart.
@@chocolatewheelchair ended up trading it in for a Rav4, and they said it was the best decision they made.
Nathan Vincent I had a
Sweet Dodge but I knew to lease it for 36k and that’s it!
I've noticed on the JL and JT... A lot of the bumpy ride quality is from the tires. Like if you have the max tow package with the higher load rating tires... The ride quality is noticeably worse. I rest drove a JT sport without the max tow package and it felt like my dad's old Nissan Maxima.
Don't forget to compare the reliability of the Subaru and Jeep brands. The Subaru would win by far.
Mario Lopez Jeep would still have way more problems than a CVT In the Subaru. Chrysler products (after being bought by FIAT) have been garbage.
I live in DC too. Get a Rubicon. Better low gear ratio for what we do around here. And by around here I mean in VA and WV and western MD and PA. I know all the offroad vids like to show guys smashing shit at high speeds, but the reality of offroading is as slow as possible, as fast as necessary. Especially when you own it and have paid significant money for it. The locking front diff of the Rubicon is an added bonus too for rocky areas. Oh, and the disconnecting sway bar too.
On dirt roads like the ones you have there... would the Outback be just as comfortable?
63k price tag is really tough to get past, considering you can get a better equipped, more powerful truck for less than that from pretty much any of the other truck manufacturers.
The gladiator is a second, weekend type vehicle. If you have that type of money of course
Family drive time, well done review ... Raptor over Mojave ... Outback over Mojave ... Choice$ ... Slainte' ! Cheers !

TH-cam: it's free real estate
Nice puppy! I mean your dog...LOL You picked the right rig with the Subaru. But, wish Subaru would drop the CVT tranny.
A Subaru says you’re a confident secure person. A Jeep says you have a small p*nis and are highly insecure. The Subaru likely won’t have anything go wrong or need any unscheduled dealer visits while the Jeep will have you on a first name basis with the service advisors at your local crappy Jeep dealer. The Subaru will use about half the fuel, have better resale, and be far cheaper to own over the long haul.
Awesome Review Of 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. 😁
my bead hits the D roll bar, Jeep needs to add more head room !
My brother has a new Jeep rubicon all done up and I have a 2012 Honda Ridgeline, we will just say everyone piles into my truck before his Jeep. That being said, 63k is way over priced for basically a daily show vehicle vs a practical one like the Ridgeline for example but to each their own. They look nice though and it ends there.
Great car but probably not a long commuter car, I sure miss stopping at restaurants to eat pre apocalypse days lol.
Me too buddy i miss restaurants. Even to just grab a drink
How the heck did you get a MOHAVE months ago? Damn, it has taken me 3 months to get one ordered! I live in the land of sand along LK MI and frequent NW CO and SE UT each fall. Both places are sand and dust.
Great post. I did NOT see this color in my build. U must be hugely connected.
To me, possibly my last buy. I love convertibles and vehicles that are unique.
I think you’ll find, the resale of this Jeep will endure the test of time. Great critique!
Much happiness to you and Blakely.
Hopefully the Outback is a lease. Your Husband looks much more excited for this Jeep!
I love to have Jeep Wrangler but Scotty said FCA vehicles are money pit!
63k WTF , wayyyy over priced! What is going on with vehicle prices in general?
All of the electronic options add up quick, the mojave starts at around 43k Personally theres only about 3-4k in options i would want/use like the hardtop and bedliner,
Love your reviews...
I wish Jeep made a two-door version of the Gladiator.
with a foot or foot and a 1/2 longer bed.
Great review! Love that you incorporated the family! I’ve owned several outbacks and wranglers. The CVT’s in the most recent outback’s are disappointing..... I miss the legacy wagons of old.. all weather practically and a surprising level of sportiness... as a fellow northeasterner have to say that the JL wranglers make for decent commuters. Especially the 4banger. 22mpg average, zero concerns for potholes, steel bumpers for aggressive parking lot attendants and killer electronics... the electronics are the advantage over any Land Rover product....
How easy are the doors to take off on the Subaru? And the roof?
Gladiator to Subaru is Apples to Oranges. More fair would be Jeep Grand Cherokee to the Outback. I daily drive a JGC, and for me it's the perfect daily city driver that you can off road on weekends. I'd love a Gladiator as a weekend toy if they come out with a Hemi in it. (us old guys still like the sound and feel of a V8, I know the new turbo 4 put out power and torque, but it's just not the same)
That moment you recognize the intersection of 234 @6:40
I want to like Jeeps, working at an FCA dealer in my younger days scarred me for life. Holy electrical issues, water leaks and transmission issues Batman.
Why only 290 HP? Seems way under powered. It should be at least 340HP.
I miss that old redline music that you guys had on 6:40. Wish you guys bought that back. Otherwise awesome video
Same, I really like it. Do you know if you can listen to it somewhere else or its just their own.
Your husband reminds me of Alex for some reason 🤣, maybe it’s the monotone personality.
Yep planning to drive my Gladiator Rubicon into the ground unless a larger diesel or V8 option is available in the future. Mojave is an interesting move for Jeep. Wasted money and effort?
My gay car guy heart is happy. Glad to see you and your husband so happy and doing the thing I also love to do and enjoy cars, my husband is more of an artist and only knows how to check his fluids and take off a tire, but he supports my habit and hobby of modifying cars and enjoy them at car shows. So bravo 👏🏼
I think the Raptor is more fun and more practical and that's why I bought one 😉. Great review though👍🏽
It’s not more fun.
Gladiator would look cool as a 2 seater just looks awkward with the cabin so long.
Great video guys! Cute doggo 😍 overpriced though. Jeeps started intriguing me more recently even though I mainly like cars with tight handling. But why are they so expensive?!
Raptor for the win !
Is the Mojave package coming to the Wrangler?
60k? bad reliability?
Best idea - lease one for 36 months at 10k -12K miles for low monthly payments (Jeeps have high resale values and FCA is always pushing low money factors to gain market share) - use it for weekends, fun trips, fridays and then buy a used Camry or Accord etc for a daily driver. Still would be cheaper than purchasing. You eliminate reliability issues as well as the entire 60k chunk. No equity? Thats the tradeoff for no headaches and huge price tag.
It bigger, more muscular and has much utility then a Subaru Outback! Cost $2X more too! Much more upscale image! Outback is more reasonable choice for suburbs!
It's outrageous FCA is asking $63K for this given the equipment level. They aren't selling anywhere near as many as they thought they were going to - no wonder given the prices!
Nice review❗️👏
I'll take the Subaru over a jeep any day of the week. Yeah it looks good(kinda), but the reliability is still a question mark.
The wheel base is sooo long, it's really not good for rock crawling compared to other Wranglers. This thing is good for mud and sand, but any truck can do that. For much less money.
Waiting for the J6. Proportions look off with a stubby bed.
I do like this Jeep but if I wanted a vehicle of that caliber I would buy the Raptor, I think the Raptor is better for everyday use. BUT, what I would buy for my needs would be the Outback so I think you guys bought the correct vehicle! :-)
Jeeps are getting so expensive now
Getting? They've always been pricey. They do have excellent resale value.
No other truck in the world does what this does. Once others copy , then we can talk.
No steel bumper option for the Mojave?
SO ARE BOTH OF YOU HAPPY WITH THE SUBARU AFTER YOU DROVE THE MOJAVE?
A subaru outback is honestly 10x the daily driver that this would be.
Honestly I love my gladiator it’s such a good truck I wouldn’t trade it in for anything
The are definitely cool looking. If I had money to own several vehicles, I would buy one.
Love the new spin with family reviews. Keep them coming!
My biggest issue with Jeep is how expensive the wranglers/gladiators are! It’s ridiculous that base models that literally don’t come with anything safety wise, tech wise etc start a little over $30,000. It’s why I’m hoping ford prices out the bronco at a more affordable price.
A great vehicle to rent on vacation out west or to the beach. As a daily, not so much. Great for mudding, rock climbing, dirt roading. Great looks, power when and where you need it, except on smooth roads. The ride is too harsh and jittery.
Only one thing keeps telling me not to buy a jeep is the ratio price/quality: low quality, high price.
I don’t disagree but have you checked out the resale value on Jeep Wranglers? One one the best resale value in the business.
Hola me gustan mucho tus videos y te sigo hace unos años y me gusta que no hablas lo que las marcas quieren sino lo que tu sientes como comprador futuro gracias por tus videos
That color of the Jeep would look awesome on the Subaru!
robertfootball1 yeah def, and then the interior of the 91’ Toyota Celica
LOVE. THIS. VIDEO!!!!
Wish they offered that color on the lower trims... :\
Contactless drop off I hope!! 😉 Stay safe. I am in No. VA and going nowhere. 🙁
