[Music] i'm yuri i'm jacob we're going for a drive 1 to 20 jeep gladiator mojave no launch control [Music] manual horsepower and torque 285 horsepower 260 pound-feet of torque from a 3.6 liter v6 we still don't have a v8 in a jeep no and this one's pretty slow especially after driving the eco diesel but this is the raptorist version of a jeep because it is meant for dunes yes this is the first desert rated jeep ever made and i guess this being the first jeep truck is the perfect time to compete
with the raptor kind of yeah it makes sense and it's sort of and itself with the t-rex yeah because this is a mid-sized truck so it doesn't exactly compete with the raptor yeah this is like it's the same idea it's like this colorado zr2 this doesn't feel mid-sized to me fyi it definitely feels mid-size and if you're enjoying this video and it's the first one you've watched from us consider subscribing and if you've watched a bunch of our videos and you haven't subscribed yet just sub scribe what
are you doing yeah what are you waiting for maybe for right now okay so before we get to all the things that make this a desert rated off-roady jumpy dune truck yes the actual mojave stuff let's get to the looks of the mojave okay first of all it looks really good especially with that fake hood scoop up front yeah i mean it definitely looks cooler with it it does like i know it's fake it's kind of whatever it's like the trd pros with the fake hood scoops but it does add t o the front end and then
we've got this cool tan color yes which i believe is called gobi just like the desert never been there me neither i've also never been to the sahara i don't know if i've ever been to any desert well i must have yeah i feel like we did something like arizona or something vegas a desert yeah i think so yeah anyways um the logo mojave that pops how was it pronouncing mojave it looks really good off the side pretty much all the badges look really good with the ora nge accents and the gray even on the
inside on the vents and on the trim on the steering wheel i think it looks really good also on all the tow hooks on the outside which is really cool okay lots of orange yes and then moving on to the side it's a nice long looking gladiator but we've got the soft top that pulls back like a normal drop top convertible kind of yes it looks like a backwards hat and then you need to unzip the very back if you want to take that off super awkward yes defin itely an awkward looking truck and then what
about the wheels we've got on here they're kind of cool definitely like off-roady trucky but are they better looking than a set of blackhorn bh02s oh absolutely not the same wheels i have my raptor i think they look fantastic on here photoshopped by yuri and if you wanted to get a set for your gladiator head over to blackhorn offroad.com right now they have free shipping in canada and the united states five percent off the already affor dable prices with the discount code straight pipes at
checkout and then what would be the continental recommended tire for the jeep gladiator mojave the terrain contact 80 just like your raptor that's right and then we don't have a running board to help get you into this truck no we just have these sand rails aka kind of rock crawling rails so yeah you probably want more ground clearance exactly and you get a lot more ground clearance with this one part of the suspension compon ent and we also have a skid plate up front yes which also protects some
of the suspension components because this has external reservoirs for the fox shocks okay and then at the very back we do have a cover for the truck bed yeah and it's a roll-up cover from jeep which is kind of cool but it's also a little flimsy i actually prefer the one that i have on my raptor sorry for mentioning my raptor again and looks wise at the back it's pretty normal gladiator no tire so it's a weird loo king jeep but what i really like is that the muffler is like tucked up in a way to
provide more ground clearance but it does look cool because it is kind of visible [Music] [Applause] so overall looks wise do you think this looks like a raptor competitor uh kind of but not really the bare bones minimum to b1 yeah i think a colorado zr2 looks more rapturous than this does [Music] and realistically if this was a rapture competitor and or t-rex competitor it would need a dinosaur name do you know what name i would come up with for this um the dilophosaurus oh that's the one from
jurassic park the fake spitting one because when you open the doors and lift up the top it kind of looks like that and it can spit to clean the front camera yeah i could see that because it has to have a dinosaur name to fit in with raptor and t-rex the jeep gladiator the lophasaurus mojave edition all right that sounds like a total marketing disaster and now i'm gonna give it a fast boot through cliche corner before you drive ooh a fast boot this time i'm gonna shift it into second using this
weird shifter which you have to grab from the top like this yeah the six speed is a little weird and the armrest gets in the way we'll talk about the interior and going through cliche it actually handles pretty good we're in rear wheel drive right now and it's not doing anything weird we had a lot of body roll but not that much like no plowing no nothing yeah these shocks are a ctually kind of stiff which i will complain about very shortly and i actually have so much more confidence with such a
big truck jeep than i thought i would yeah totally your turn to get behind the wheel alrighty get behind the driver's seat [Music] it's pretty slow but it's like it's fun to shift a car it's really fun to have this in manual for at least a week you said something that was very correct a car this isn't a car this is a truck which is why i don't find it that fun oh ye ah i mean it's still kind of fun this is one of the cars slash trucks that i would actually prefer to just have it in auto
because the auto is so good in these jeeps yeah that is true i do pretty much enjoy my time more in every automatic jeep then in the manual jeep but it would be fun to do some rock crawling and stuff with a manual i feel like you have so many more things you have to take care of exactly it'd be a lot more difficult and next year this is actually going to get the eco diesel and that is going to be amazing in this so let's get straight into the mojave stuff the really specific stuff okay so first
of all it has a higher spring rate and it's one inch higher for more suspension travel because that's something that you'd want for jumps now the problem i have with that is that that makes this a little bit too stiff for the road where i think the rubicon and every other wrangler and gladiator is actually more comfortable to drive on the roa d than this yeah but if this is built for jumps i'm just saying this is for the road and i haven't been able to jump this yet but cut to the clip of other
people riding it on the desert and jumping and because it is specifically built for jumping and raptoring the raptor is actually a lot more comfortable to drive with also having fox shocks on the road and off the road and easier to keep straight while you're driving on the highways and stuff at higher speeds yeah so basically my c omplaint is that it is possible to make off-road compliance shocks more comfortable on the road and these fox shocks with external reservoirs are specifically tuned for
this jeep yes they have hydraulic bump stops in the front at the back i just saw those yellow things yeah which is cool because the raptor doesn't actually have hydraulic bump stops so that is a first and we also have our reinforced frame axles mounts and suspension components so this is totally different mechanically from the wrangler which is really cool so someone could probably like really send this yes off a jump even with upgraded aftermarket shocks if you wanted to really send it because
the frame's already been reinforced we need somebody to hit it like that first ford raptor jump guy yeah and and for the t-rex too come on yeah and unlike the rubicon which can disconnect its front sway bar we can't actually do that here and we also can't lock the front axle we can only lock the rear axle a gain totally different than the rubicon because that's meant for rock crawling and this is meant for fast off-roading which brings us to off-road plus mode so if you put this into four
high press off-road plus now it's a desert running machine according to what they tell me because i haven't been able to try this on a desert i mean the footage looks like it can do it yeah so basically what it does is adjust the steering the brakes the throttle all your inputs just for desert r unning and jumping and then when you go into off-road plus then you also get your off-road pages which will also have your trail cam to show your front camera while driving but it'll turn off after a
certain amount of time but if you have it in four low and you're driving it seems like you can have the front camera on the whole time because you're going slower and the front camera button will light up on the infotainment where it doesn't in the other modes which is really cool to have all of these features but there is a hack to get the front camera to go while the button is grayed out you click the back camera and then at the top you click the front camera and then you get like eight
seconds of that exactly and that's a lot better than we had on the at4 that you had to dig through the infotainment to find that button this you can set as a favorite right on the bottom and back to the mojave vs rubicon stuff this actually has better approach break over and departure angles and overall ground clearance because this is one inch higher it's weird i feel like rubicon would want that exactly but then you get a little bit more stability for off-roading so you kind of want it to be
like a good balance which is why the rubicon's where it's at so now finish off the mojave stuff for us okay so this includes the max towing package which is really nice to have however i did tow with this only my jet ski which is about a thousand pounds not to o heavy and i had some issues this can tow up to six thousand pounds which is about a thousand pounds less than the rubicon and about fifteen hundred pounds less than the sport s and the sport because of the differences in suspension now
when i was towing my jet ski i really enjoyed having the camera it was crystal clear i could press the button and see that my jet ski was still there which is very refreshing to have because in a lot of cars or trucks you can't really do that such as my raptor now the issue that i had while towing is i was only talking my jet ski like i said but because we have the manual transmission i couldn't leave it in sixth gear while cruising at highway speeds because i would actually lose speed going
up very minor hills so i'd actually have to downshift into third to go up the hill so that i can match my speed on the highway sounds like it'd be a lot nicer to have an automatic diesel yeah exactly so if you're gonna tow with this yes the numbers say that it's capable but it's a bit of a hassle especially combined with the steering because you have to give it so much input to keep it straight yeah sounds like a nightmare and my gas mileage actually dropped by four liters per 100 kilometers or
three miles per gallon which is actually a pretty big hit for only having a thousand pound jet ski to tow that's actually substantial it actually got worse mileage than my raptor while driving around because my raptor doesn' t even feel the jet ski so worked up i know it was just the first time i towed with anything other than my raptor and it made a really big difference so then moving on to this interior really briefly pretty much the exact same as all the other new gladiators and jeep
wranglers we've driven it's exactly the same other than the orange accents yeah we got these cool mojave seats with the tire pattern and stuff and the orange trim which i really like the back seats fold down and they fold up i find the seats to be slightly less comfortable because i think they're actually short kind of for my thighs it's kind of weird for a driving manual but if this was like an automatic i'm sure it'd be fine because it is very comfortable exactly and then we've got apple
carplay android auto rewinding sirius xm satellite radio stations we got a lot of cool stuff in the middle gauge cluster and analog tacks we got heated seats and heated steering wheel with hard button s if it's a cup just fine in the cup holder visor test three two one yes and you have keyless entry on the doors which is super convenient and to finish off this review i'm going to send it into cliche corner let's see how this thing handles and it seems to handle actually pretty well because of
those stiffer fox shocks which i expect to be a little bit softer it actually handles really well because of that so there's a lot less body roll than i thought and it just doesn't have a lot of power but at least you can downshift to kind of get the most out of it i'm just so surprised by the handling of these new jeeps through cliche i know it's actually fantastic all right so with everything out of the way let's get to the price well it's a lot of money at 69 960 canadian nice that's less
than a diesel version of the wrangler yes it is do you think this is cooler than that yes it is okay and then we'll just have to compete with the bronco or not because i don't think the bronco is going to have a truck version no but apparently there is a smaller truck coming from ford which may compete with this that'd be the ranger raptor the echo raptor modeled after the echo sport yes the echo boost it's going to be so cool with mojave echo edition and at this price it's actually approaching
the starting price of the raptor which is kind of crazy and then i guess this would be similar to the colorado zr2 yes it would is that r2 we're american now it's z oh you might be i'm not so after driving this i think you should just get a rubicon instead they're pretty much the same price and this doesn't add enough cool stuff that is usable for me i think i'd end up with like a sport or anything with more roadie tires because just steering constantly on the highway just bothers me a lot but i
do like the overall image of this the image is cool but i think because of the function and stuff rubicon so silly question this the t-rex the raptor or the zr2 which one would you take well not having driven the trx i'm gonna have to go with the trx you put a hellcat engine into a ram 1500 it's gonna be probably pretty unreal yeah the trx is definitely cooler than this the raptor's definitely cooler than this but none of those trucks you can legally drive with the doors off so this wind's there
i guess so yep okay so let us know what you think of the mojave in the comments is it a good raptor attempt is it not even close do you have view
