    For tall folks install the seat jackers from Desert Does it and it makes an incredible difference. A dead pedal is a must have as well and helps with comfort for long trips and as a foot support on trails. Love your truck- the Gobi color kills. I have the Mojave in Snazzberry - love,love,love the gladiator.

I'm 6 4 and still am comfortable. This is my daily driver and enjoy not having to worry about scrapes and scratches etc. I just wish it had a V8, cmon jeep! Nice review!

    New to your channel, I just got myself a gladiator sport a few months ago. I am surprised at your fuil mileage as I get about 20.2 mpg in town and I am getting 27.6 mpg down the freeway. As for the silly door nets, Amazon sells a hard plastic pice that fits there instead of the net.

      If you can find one. Slim pickings. I was going to get a TRD Pro, but the only one in a 500 mile radius was the solar octane color, which is hideous. Almost still got it and was just going to wrap it right away. But, ended up going 2022 Gladiator Rubicon. I would absolutely have gotten the eco diesel, but I they didn’t have any, nor were any available at any other dealerships. Suppose if you want to wait a while. I unfortunately could not for tax reasons.

      @@SteverGarage Just bought a white 2023 Mojave a couple of months ago with black cloth seats and the black top and no headliner. I really like it. I thought the roof would be hot but it's barely noticeable. A couple of other things. I've gotten into the habit of immediately turning off the auto stop/start as it was annoying. I have about 1,000 miles so far and am getting pretty bad mileage (12-13 mpg). The most surprising thing is how comfortable it rides and how easy it is to drive. I'm also a hunter and have taken it to the woods 4 or 5 times. It's been amazing on forest service roads and terrible logging roads. The stock tires have performed well. I'm not risking the brilliant Mojave suspension with a lift and big tires, etc. It's totally unnecessary for my use and I'm not looking to attract more attention. It's cool enough stock! LOL
