The Ultimate 2021/22 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Review After 4,000 Miles! 

Enjoyed the video. I have had my 2021 Mojave for about five months and have 2700 miles on it. I liked your in depth discussion of the features. I got the MT cause I love to shift through the gears. thanks

Excellent review dude!! You went through "everything" I was wondering about. Thank you!!

Sweet rig. I have the 3.6L E-torque in my 2021 2Dr Rubicon and it is seriously quick! Gets 22mpg as well!

Big thumbs up for a comprehensive review!!

excellent review. I just picked up my 2022 Mojave in Sarge Green. absolutely love the vehicle. now looking for a place to take her to have serious fun. thanks

Dude, best Mojave review ever. You just sold me on upgrading from my current JL! Exact color and wheel combo that I want minus the manual gearbox.

Very nice review. Your details shared as a real owner after 4K is much appreciated

another great video. keep it up as i am learning a lot from you. cant wait to see more.

Great and honest review, i might be getting one and this will be the model i get. I live in AZ, i never did the rock climbing thing and have no interest to but this one will be perfect for my line of work. I'm all over the valley and hit some nasty dirt roads. thanks again.

Great video! The “Desert Rated” decal is very cool!

great review, thanks !

Good 4k mile follow up. I bought a Sting Gray Mojave back in Jan 21. I got the all black wheels with faulken all terrain tires. I love this truck, just got 3k miles on it. I have owned a LOT of vehicles over the years. This is my first Jeep and I can say I am very happy and wish I paid more attention to Jeep in my younger years, lol. I love the Mojave and really don't know if there is anything I don't like. One thing I say to people is make sure you know what your getting before you buy it (ie bed length , tow capacity etc). Seems I have seen a lot of people complain about this after they already have it... Strange..

This was the best most detailed review i have seen yet! Nice video!

Love these reviews!

I love my Mojave. One thing that I dislike about my Jeep is MPG. I'm getting 20.3 on HWY and in city, 15.3 mpg. 12k miles review, I hate auto restart system and auto air recirculation system. So far, I love it.

Solid review. You’re an excellent presenter.

Great video

Great review of the Mojave! I recently purchased my 2021 Mojave in the same color just 3 weeks ago and I love it. Let the mods begin!

Just bought the same in a 2022, love it! I’d swap ya rock guards for the oem steps!

I’ve had my 2021 Jeep Gladiator High Altitude since August 29 of 2021. I have 7k miles on it! 90% highway miles. 2 inch life and leveling kit. Falken Wildpeak AT. So far she rides smoothly and handles good. Solid little truck!

Love your truck (Jeep), exact model I hope to get one day!

Great review and helped me confirm the Mojave is the best Gladiator if money is no object. I couldn’t tell if your truck had the Select Trac option. I like the option especially with those tires on wet pavement. Would you let me know what you think of the Select Trac option? I don’t want order one with it if there are any drawbacks or other issues. Thanks Dan

Wow Mojave what a great car although I would love to get my hands on to Jeep Wrangler 4xe. Great review

Extremely comprehensive review! Thanks a bunch.

The Gladiator is actually a very good rock crawler. The approach angle is the same as the Wrangler and with a lift and 35's and a hitch skid, it does just fine. It actually has some advantages with the long wheelbase, particularly with hill climbing. I've got a Wrangler and there wasn't anything in Moab I did that my brother's Gladiator couldn't do. Both were lifted with 35's. Nice video! Love the Mojave!

The Manual Transmission is not an available option for the Ecodiesel, it will not handle the torque output.

Best Mojave review I've watched. Why don't you like the adaptive cruise control? I think it's one of the coolest options. But I have not driven with it a bunch either. I'm going to test drive some mojave's today and might just buy one.

I love the manual transmition

Great video, the manual Diesel is unfortunately not available yet. Don’t know if I can wait and will probably go for the manual gasser.

I got a new Mojave a couple months ago for 26% off MSRP. Love it, just ordered seat jackers. Just want a tad more leg support. I recommend a Bestop Sunrider. I've had a '15 Ram since new that made me love the ZF8.

I just buy the same as yours this week same color same specs ❤❤❤

Great video! Sucks Diesel engine is not available for the Mojave trim in 22.

Do you still have this? Would love another longer term review video.

Very nice video! Thank you very much. Am the owner of a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. (Lived in Springville, Utah, so it had plenty of rock crawling---but not the exotic stuff--while living in Utah. I've been thinking of buying my wife a Gladiator. I was highly prone to wanting to buy her a Rubicon Gladiator, as I'm of the opinion that the Rubicon is "the best Wrangler." Your video, yes, this video I just watched, has convinced me that a Sport S package Gladiator, with appropriate options, of course, will work superbly and save us a good amount of money. We live on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai. Your video is THE video I'll show to my wife prior to flying the approximate 40 mile flight to Kahului, Maui next month for our twelfth anniversary. (We sold my wife's Grand Cherokee Overland diesel, a 2014 model, prior to moving from Springville to Molokai in March 2019. So it's now Debbie's "turn" to get the new car.) It'll be a Gladiator Sport S---thanks to your video! Thank you very much! Andy McKane, 20 October 2023, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

These are really cool trucks!

Hey I drive a 2002 PT Cruiser I bought for $1000 as a work vehicle! Great video! By the way the Cruiser is my 5th vehicle, but I do like the 5spd and 25.2 MPG on my 1 hour commute to work.

best review yet. I just ordered the exact jeep lol.

I believe the desert hawk renegade has that desert rated badge

Just watching this 2 years out. Does the auto trans have a tow/haul mode or does the 8 speed just not shift all the way out when towing?

Looking for the day they build a single cab long bed v8 option.

This is one of the best full reviews I’ve seen. Need something for the Midwest snow and towing a small teardrop trailer. Just wish it had the Hemi

I'm hoping to putchase my first jeep and I think the Mojave is what I need. Gets really hot in S. E. Georgia.

LOVE my Mojave! :D

Definitely too soon to slap a 392 V8 on the gladiator due to the 100 years the wrangler waited lol but maybe a V6 turbo option to push 380-400 hp so it doesn’t feel sluggish?

MOPAR makes a electronic brake controller replacement module for the 12v cigarette lighter. Also, 7,000lb towing with the Rubicon. My 2020 fully optioned Rubi came with the rims shown in this video, they really are not that bad, I figured a replacement will happen with new tires. If you're building a mall-crawler, you'll never use the fwd facing cam, it's speed limited. Buy and install a high-mounted rear facing camera. When your tailgate is down your rear cam is useless. Now all I need is the $20k for a Hellcat swap - ha! Or is it a Demon swap now? 1000HP is needed for crawling...

Great review!!! I guess I’ll wait another year when the v8 is an option on the gladiator across the board and get one. “Fingers cross” 🤞🏻they do that….

Awesome review! One thing to note, you can’t get the diesel with a manual trans. They only let you pair it with the 8 speed. Also you can’t get any engine option other than the v6 gas with the Mojave trim. I’m with you, I wish they’d put the 392 in the Mojave. I’d totally buy one!

Any tips on keeping the fenders from fading? 2020 and it gets detailed by me but the plastic fenders are already getting sun UV waves in them now which i have never had with such a new vehicle

Hi! I actually just traded in my 4” lifted wrangler in for a gladiator with a bunch of other mods And none of my warranties were voided. Not even my extended warranty. I used a rough country lift, dv8 bumpers front & back, roof rack, teraflex steering stabilizer, led lights all around, light bars & pods & rock lights. And nothing was voided.

I use the Curt bluetooth brake controller.

I just wish you could get the eco diesel in the Mojave.

I have to find a manual diesel gladiator. When building your own on jeeps website, it will not let you select the diesel and manual so i dont think that is an option. I would get a manual diesel any day of the week.

new subscriber for life. BTW, you have beautiful taste for music (Chris Stapleton + Bryan Martin)

I think you might have swayed my decision to get a Mojave over a Rubicon.. I really don't care to rock crawl. So there's no need to pay for those extra options. Great informative video. Nice jeep you have there too.

Great car's review. In Brazil we just have this car in Rubicon version. Success! Just adding a wish from Brazil "espero que o inter perca"

Being able to take ruff off is cool.

Have you noticed the heater not melting ice from the windshield like the TFL guys?? They say it only melted and kept clear the center of the windshield.

9:58 WE SAW IT!!!!!!!!!

Whats a ruffrack ?

The Mojave has the max tow package by default, that's the big fans etc. The capacity is hurt by the suspension and even further by a manual gearbox. You might wanna brush up on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act too. You do a pretty good job at reviewing. Good luck on your YT career.

I went to discount tire to buy 35’s/12.5 and they said that they would rub

What part of Minnesota are you from? I’m an hour north of the cities, I bought same color Mojave as you and friend of mine bought blue version Mojave. It would be cool to get a pack of Mojave’s together and do a trail video! Thanks for starting local channel.

Im looking at getting a gladiator hows the leg room with the car seat in the back?

You spoke about the sound deadener on the roof. On the hwy does it really make a massive difference and can you actually have a normal volume conversation? Hard to tell from video. Thanks.

Good review, but why get a rock crawler over the Mojave? I didn’t. I bought a Gladiator Rubicon because I wanted front locking differentials along with rear, not necessarily a “rock crawler”. That’s why I did it. In South Louisiana we have some real swampy muddy areas where I hunt and I just wanted that extra umph if I need it. But to each their own. Still, a nice video you made.

Have you seen the video by Casey 250 who recently posted his sting grey hellcat mojave...over 800 hp lol

what are some must ride trails in Minnesota we live in Rochester. thanks Mike

Now we need the 392!

I'm on a stick and in L.A.... ( yea, I know).... and I love the stop start system. I only turn it off when I'm off roading.

You can’t get the diesel on a manual. 8-speed auto only.

Nice review . I was torn between that and Gator. Obviously glad I went gator but you have a beautiful Jeep ! Any tricks to not getting wind noise in outside audio?

Hi Jay! I have been following you since I got my Mojave last Saturday. Still learning all of the features and you have helped me a lot. There is one thing I was wondering about. When the radio is on, you can see the clock at the top of the screen. When it off, there is nothing on the screen. No clock, no nothing. I feel there should be the time when the radio is off. My Wrangler had the time even if the radio was off. Somethings I will not take my phone when I go out. Other times, I like the silence. Am I going to have to turn on the radio every now and then just to get the time? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2018 Ford F-150. Shortest bed is 6.5 ft and long beds are 8 ft. Still will trade it in for a Mojave one day, beautiful Jeep brother.

For a guy that does not rock crawl, you have a strong opinion about what rock crawlers should drive. Rubicons have 4:1 Transfer case, enhanced armor, front locker and a disconnecting sway bar. Rock crawler or not, the disconnecting sway bars make 4lo smoother. The Mojave is a neat package at a similar price point to the Rubicon and out of the box, it drives way better than the wallowing stock Rubicon. 14:15 What??? A 3.6 is more reliable than a 3.6?

Really like the Mojave & ended-up w/ a Rubicon JL. Only reason I chose the Wrangler instead of the Gladiator is that I already have a truck: Ford F-150. Good looking truck & color!

Do you like the bolstered seats?

I wouldn't mind a purpose built Mojave with a supercharger.

13:57 That's not the way the law works. Companies have to prove that the aftermarket part that you installed is the reason why it has whatever problem it has. They cannot void your warranty for using aftermarket parts.

are those tires stock

I see a lot of complaints about wander steering. Your thoughts?

Mojave or High Altitude? I don’t rock crawl at all. I do go off road though

Regarding the headliner, for the ridiculous price jeep charges, you’d be better served to spend the same-ish $ on the hotheads headliner setup. Better quality and can cover the rear side windows for a bit extra. My rubicon jku came with the headliner option and while ok, it was waaaaaaay overpriced for what you get.

Why did you sell it? What didn't you like?

You'll be sorry you purchased a Gladiator! I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland and my wife had an accident with it back in November 2021 and the front differential was damaged so now it has been sitting at the dealer from then because the dealer can't get part's to repair it so if anything ever happens to your Gladiator and it needs parts you'll never get it back. My dealer has no idea when he will ever be able to get the part's to repair my truck so i'm making $600 a month payments on a paper weight!

I llove the jeep l going to by one nex year

How this one drives on roads? Like daily drive

sweet shirt

21 Mojave, my front Fox shocks are being replaced under warranty terrible creaking sound. Made in China. Fox shocks also require maintenance depending on usage. Disappointed, about a 8000 dollar claim in Canada. Well done review.

Why can’t all trucks use tundras back window design? Get with it

ME: left and came back You: Still reviewing the mojave

No Bluetooth?

How about Carseats? I have a kid in a booster and a kid in an infant seat. Great review!

Why do mention the regear but not give the ratio?

Things SHE did not say, "You dont lose alot in that 6 inches"

3mo/4k miles is not really a "comprehensive review." While I realize that the JL is miles apart, in terms of reliability things can still go wrong beyond 4k miles. Yes, I also realize, this was 2 years ago.

leds should be standard

I was going to subscribe until you said you hate the Red Sox. Good vid though nice truck 👍

My MOHAVE IS NAMED "DEBBIE" A 21 TOO

I regret to inform everyone that I have sold my Gladiator at 10k miles. But loved every mile.

you can NOT have 6speed with diesel only 8auto
