Does the Mojave Trim make the Gladiator More appealing? Special Thanks to my Patreon Supporters for making these videos possible. Also Check out the new "Respect The Drive" Podcast wherever you listen.
I’m 70 and just traded in my 2019 Ram Laramie for the 2021 Mojave. The Ram was great but I love the Mojave. No regrets at all.It’s not ugly it’s brutally handsome.
@@G.Uppercut123 Already traded in my X5 for a 2023 M sport lol. This thing is the opposite of timeless, it’s absolutely hideous. I really hardly know anyone that likes these. They’re overpriced, slow, drive terribIy, and again look not great.
@@mattX5 you clearly don’t understand the word timeless. No one will remember your bmw unless it’s the actual M version. Otherwise BMW this generation looks like a 🐽 You traded in a 2016 for another bland looking one since you clearly couldn’t afford a true M. But yet you clicked and watched a video on the Gladiator, and had to shit on a 70 year old’s comment. Which demonstrates a lot about you. 🤡
I agree with you on FCA. I think they have been doing great from an enthusiast perspective to give us interesting products. As a Jeep enthusiast I love the fact that they finally gave us a Jeep truck after so many years. Yeah, the Gladiator is kind of strange looking stock, and a 5.7 option would be ideal, but with bigger tires it looks good.
Gladiator is a fuckin beast! FCA actually has some balls, unlike so many other companies lol. Love that they’re keeping their products fun and adventurous, even with the compromises that come with that.
Tedward EXACTLY! Wayyyyy too many automakers nowadays are obsessed with chasing trends, copying what everyone else is doing, and attempting to pander to the greatest common denominator. And it shows in the products those companies put out. FCA just goes balls out and they FUCKIN OWN IT! Huge respect for that.
Just the Review that I’ve been looking for. I’ve watched many reviews that complain about how the truck wanders but it is indeed a Truck and not a Sportscar nor a Sportsedan.
I have been looking at these , I drove the Rubicon and it had the typical Jeep sloppy steering on the highway , the Mojave you can drive at 80 with one hand, it felt like my f150.
I think what you are trying to say is that fca has great design language. Each product feels like it knows exactly what it’s supposed to be and what it isn’t supposed to be as well. I have a power wagon. It’s meant to be a big heavy duty off road truck. It feels like a big heavy duty off road truck. Certainly isn’t the smoothest truck on the road but it isn’t just rough for nothing. You can actually feel the strength. I mean is literally called a “power wagon” right on the side
ok, I made it to 11:47. 1- It's not just the Raptor that walks, all Ford trucks do. If their suspension. (F150 and F350 owner) I looked at a Mojave today and fell in love with the stance, the accents, and most of all the suspension. If I got one as a daily driver to run to the store and stuff, it would be a waste of money. If you don't spend a fair amount of time off road with it, it will wait till you go to sleep and kill you. It wants to be off road, it loves off road.
Nice.took me a second when you said " Oh ,Huh ,We must be in phase 3" lol. I have an allwheel drive Mini Cooper has those switches. in the center as well. Never get used to that ,But just fun to drive .
Dodge and Jeep are my favorite detroit brands. I have always loved jeeps since going to the Chrysler drive events as a kid. My family got invinted since my parents bought my 1999 Durango brand new. I have test drove jeeps, including driving my Grandpa's 97 TJ. I will say the new JL manual is not bad on road. It is geared high so you may be using 4 low a lot. However the throws and clutch feel are nice and responsive for a truck. I only drove the four door, but would be interested in trying a Gladiator. A lot of people hate the manual Gladiator and prefer the 8 speed auto. I feel personally a Jeep is more pure with a manual.
Agreed..although an auto can be nice for crawling. But as a 2,000 dollar option, it would be easy to eliminate the Auto from the MSRP for a cheaper spec
You've convinced me, however, do you honestly feel that the 3.6 is adequate in power for running it hard on those offroads? What about camper/topper/gear in the bed, overlanding and such? How does the fuel economy hold up? Thanks for the quality vid, truck is a fckin beast.
I’ve driven one of these before. It was a mojave with the gladiator. The passing power was brutal. With an 8.5 second 0-60 and only 280 hp in a large truck, it really struggles up hill and merging, without a trailer.
If you were really into rock crawling and pushing limits like that, it wouldn't be the right choice. It does not have the electronically disconnectable front stabilizer bar
Tedward it’s more to the toy end of things..for backcountry all year beating on a vehicle it’s hard to top either a taco or else anything costing $5k or under that you never wash and carry a mountain bike in back in case it breaks down. Cathy has fibromyalgia and she spent ten years as wildlife photographer in tacos and FJ...it’s not the same I know but when chosen properly and used as tool for the job, trucks offer a lot...kinda interested to see the reincarnation of land rover that’s called a Gladiator. We drive past a Jeep dealer on way to town most days and must admit they have a nice look..
It’s not 61,000$ why do you guys say that in your videos? 61k would be like fully loaded every option. You can get well equipped for 53 and less equipped but just as capable for 44-45k STOP SAYING ITS A 61k VEHICLE. Like it’s the only price

…that’s a joke right? It’s hands down the worst looking new vehicle I’ve seen in the last few years. Lol. Farthest thing from handsome.
@@mattX5 naw, it’s beautiful.
@@mattX5this will be timeless, your 2016 BMW is already outdated and old looking and won’t be remembered in the history of cars

This is the real review of a Gladiator Mojave that I have been looking for
Thanks Jared!

This is in no way a defense...but it gets about the same fuel economy as my M3 lol..I was impressed

33s are a must. This looks so strange in base trim

I love that they take risk and just put insane things out into the world

Never thought I'd hear you say you like FCA products but I couldn't agree more. They're so hilarious with their business model the last several years

What kind of story IS this?
Lol....i thought he was going easy on curves till he got on the on ramp.
The old Rutland prison camps you’ll see me fairly often out in my gladiator fairly often there.

Auto Diesel probably a good combo, but now we are talking more money
allso yaya the dodge charger is my favourite American car because its constantly beautiful to me
Excellent
I heard you the public subscriber

i like jeeps alot of ww2 veterans praised it
When you turn on the adaptive cruise control, the graphic of the car in front of you is a WW2 jeep lol
@@TedwardDrives lol gota love willys the og icon of off roading
Where is that
Where was this?
I like the look of this one! Is it a Diesel?
It’s not it’s the 3.6 v6
MO-HA-VEEEEE
What town
Better dead porcupine than skunk!
Haha agreed! I’m just glad I didn’t accidentally step on him
Does the Gladiator's longer wheelbase make it less fun to take off-roading than a 2 door Wrangler
If you were really into rock crawling and pushing limits like that, it wouldn't be the right choice. It does not have the electronically disconnectable front stabilizer bar
Less fun? No. More challenging? Yes.
@@johnthibodeaux5189 what would you rather have
@@philliesphan334 I need a truck so, I have a Gladiator.
@@johnthibodeaux5189 I'm sure it's still great off-road despite it being bigger. Do you have anything done to it?
SHOCKingly good, huh?
You get me.
Not sure it’s the trick thing for winter..lack of weather sealing...would wonder reliability...
I’d be curious. There’s rubber gaskets along all the panels but that’s not perfect

@0:23 sounds like chue hit something lol
haha..I have no idea what it was, but my best guess is his hand brake
It’s not 61,000$ why do you guys say that in your videos? 61k would be like fully loaded every option. You can get well equipped for 53 and less equipped but just as capable for 44-45k STOP SAYING ITS A 61k VEHICLE. Like it’s the only price
I've mostly seen the Mojave's around $54-55k, with discounts
TBH some small a** mirrors on that beast...
That’s on purpose! 🙄
@@johnthibodeaux5189 So you can crash easier and pay Jeep for a new bumper...
@@mrcarson7765 no, so you are less likely to rip them off while wheeling
Fca and nice in the same sentence they are good to drive but not fun to own these things are unreliable as hell
Why is it that nobody can say Mojave correctly??????
I said it at least 3 different ways just for you
Horrible steering. Needs correction all the time.
Still a live axel up front. Not going to be perfect but the fear that I associated with jeeps of the past is gone
No it doesn’t. Do you even own a Mojave?
Hummer h1 better that gladiator
