Off-road capability

To achieve high-speed performance and capability off-road, the Jeep Gladiator Mojave is equipped with these standard features:

  • 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs
  • FOX hydraulic jounce bumpers (industry-exclusive)
  • Suspension upgrades to brand’s legendary 4×4 system
  • Reinforced frame
  • Silver front skid plate on 1-inch front suspension lift
  • Cast-iron knuckles on axles built to be stronger than ever
  • Integrated upper bolsters on front seats
  • 33-inch Falken Wildpeak All-terrain tires

According to FCA, “With a push of a button, drivers can adjust throttle, transmission shift points and traction control for peak performance on higher speed passes on sand terrain, as well as during low-speed rock crawling.”

Off-road power

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 features engine stop-start technology to help with fuel efficiency and performance. It pairs perfectly with the standard six-speed manual transmission or the available eight-speed automatic transmission.

“With the standard six-speed manual transmission, Gladiator Mojave boasts an impressive crawl ratio of 57.3:1 and 52.6:1 on Mojave models equipped with the optional eight-speed automatic transmission – both of which make cresting a dune or scaling any obstacle on the trail easy,” FCA reports.
