It's because our Gladiator Mojave's as-tested price matches the hi-po F-150's starting price. You might be wondering why we brought up the Raptor. According to the EPA's website, you'll save $500 per year on fuel costs with the Gladiator, but we'd happily hand over all that extra coin for the added power and torque. And yet, the twin-turbocharged Ford F-150 Raptor nets 15 mpg city, 18 highway, and 16 combined. With just 285 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque, and an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 17 miles per gallon city, 22 highway, and 19 combined, the Gladiator Mojave is down 165 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque on a Ford Raptor. The other reason we'd opt for a different engine comes down to fuel economy. So yeah, Jeep, if youвЂ™re reading, letвЂ™s get on that. The Gladiator Mojave extends that lead, giving Jeep's pickup truck all the attitude and style of a Rubicon without sacrificing much in the way of on-road livability.ДЄnd if weвЂ™re making wishes, the Gladiator MojaveвЂ™s purpose makes it seem like an obvious choice for a 392 variant. This might be controversial, but the Gladiator was already our favorite member of the extended Wrangler family because of the way the longer wheelbase makes everyday life more tolerable. The Gladiator Mojave doesn't really add much to this formula, but hey, occasionally we need to remind brands that things are cool and they should keep doing them. But after a bit of work, there are few vehicles that can match the elemental driving experience of a roofless, doorless Jeep. Okay, that's a lie, because the doors are heavy as hell and you'll need two people to wrangle (pun intended) the available hardtop. We'll never get tired of yanking the roof and doors off a Jeep. And faced with washboard dirt trails, the Gladiator Mojave proved plenty happy to bound over them at speed, its uprated shocks and 33-inch tires absorbing the worst of the abuse. The Mojave-specific shocks and the Gladiator's longer wheelbase made this inarguably the most stable member of the broader Wrangler family вЂ“ on paved roads, we experienced little of the solid-axle wobble we've come to associate with Jeep's most traditional vehicles. There are practical benefits to these changes, too. From the orange accents, to the meaty 2.5-inch Fox shocks, to specific drivetrain changes designed specifically for the Mojave's desert-running mission, this Gladiator feels like a long-overdue complement to Jeep's off-road enthusiast lineup. With respect to Jeep's popular Rubicon and Trailhawk trims, we're all-in on the Mojave-specific details.
