I have owned one going on my 3rd year. Its lifted on 37” tires, canopy, rtt, winch and steel bumper. Just rolled 50kms. Zero, I repeat zero days in the shop. Its been the most reliable vehicle in my. 20+ years of driving. Its through hell n back and tows a 2500lb overland trailer often. Its not a Raptor competitor, never will be. But its half Jeep, half truck and gets that job done very well. The 3.6 is very reliable and very easy to maintain. Aftermarket parts are also easy to come by too.
I had a raptor and loved it. Recently got a Mojave and love it even more! No brainer for someone who likes trucks and loves jeeps. Is it worth 70k? Probably not but I get nothing but joy out of it and that is kind of priceless. No regrets.
That's awesome! Both the Raptor and the top-tier Jeeps are absolutely incredible vehicles and you you really can't go wrong with either of them... glad you're enjoying your Mojave!
I'd considered buying one myself but after feeling how underpowered it is I changed my mind. The crazy thing is that my 2 door Bronco with the 4 cylinder 2.3L engine blows this away! Now that I also did the Ford Performance tune, it has 330 HP! The Gladiators constant clunking off road would drive me nuts!!!
After seeing the engine bay of the Bronco, I immediately knew it was a ticking time bomb. It’s just a bunch of PVC piping with an engine somewhere in there. Give me a simple, slower but all around cooler vehicle any day.
You've got a different mindset my friend. To me.. a 3.6 V6 with just 285 hp says large UNDERstressed engine that will be dead nuts reliable. its not all about performance. its performance AND reliability when you need it past the first 30k miles.
I have a JT Rubicon with Fox Factory 3.0 internal bypass, hydraulic bumps, 16" of rear travel etc and it does good at speed offroad, rock crawls. It was over 100k though; I would buy a Ranger Raptor over the Mojave. I dont know who is buying the Mojave to be honest.
It's certainly nice to have to worry less about it (although we'd still get in trouble if we break it), however we treat all vehicles as if they're our own. :)
We're picking up the Ranger Raptor tomorrow - do you think it'll be able to beat the Gladiator?
@@GCCarsCA It will SMOKE the Gladiator!!!
I have a feeling it will do. The raptors just hit different 😫
@@mikebromelow8514 lmao... I hadnt seen one yet that can keep up with me across Hwy 421 or on the trails..

That sounds like an awesome truck! Glad you're having such a great experience with it.

Imagine a Mojave with 392?
That'd be amazing
🙏
Dein english is so krass mittlerweil junge, mach weiter so mit den videos! Geiles review!
:)
They'll be on sale soon, thanks to Stelantis.
I heard that good sales offers are coming, so that should dampen our biggest criticism!
@@GCCarsCA i bought a 2024 rubicon X for $59,550 and the sticker price was $71,460. The rebates are insane right now

The turbos in the EcoBoost really make a huge difference during faster off-roading. And I love that Ford now offers tunes for them!

@LootGoblinArmy It's supposed to be a performance vehicle! Performance is what I expect from a vehicle that is their high speed Desert Rated model!

An upgraded Rubicon does sound like a perfect combination of slow and fast off-roading capabilities!
Raptor killer if more hp😊
We wouldn't mind a Jeep Gladiator 392 👀
Looks like I definitely made the right choice by getting the Bronco!
“The Curved Pipes”
Ha, nice one.
Ok I’m dead. I’ll laugh at my own expense on this one 😂😂
It must be awesome to drive the snot out of it, and if it breaks, you just hand it back and say, "You guys need to work on that."

Do the jeep 392
It's on our to do list!
Overpriced Stellantis Fiat Mojave. You are paying for the CEOs severance package.
That’s why you can get $15,000 off now because no one was buying them
