Rubicon vs. Mojave
For ultimate adventurers, the Gladiator Rubicon and Gladiator Mojave trims are engineered to meet the demands of extreme off-roading.
The Gladiator Rubicon features the exclusive Rock-Trac® part-time 4x4 system with a 4.10 rear axle ratio and an 84:1 crawl ratio — ideal for low-speed crawling and maximum control over grueling obstacle-laden trails. The Rubicon also includes rock rails, FOX 2-inch shocks, Tru-Lok® electronic locking front and rear axles, and the sway bar disconnect for maximum wheel articulation on uneven terrain.
The Gladiator Mojave is the first-ever Desert Rated Jeep, designed for cresting the desert dunes at high speeds. The FOX 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks with front hydraulic jounce bumpers provide maximum damping for uncompromised comfort and control over sand crests. The Mojave also includes a 1-inch suspension lift and a Tru-Lok electronic locking rear axle.
Both the Rubicon and Mojave feature 33-inch all-terrain tires, high-clearance fender flares, and underbody skid plates.
