@@bp8171 You are correct. Payload capacity includes what's in the truck bed and cab including people and gear. What you are describing would very likely be over payload capacity unless the driver and passenger weighed 200 points combined and had no gear. It's not a truck to be used to carry a lot of weight regardless of where it's located.

If you wanted to put down the cash getting equivalent suspension on a jlu can be done. Only negative is that if you want to lift a Mojave options are a bit limited without having to replace the shocks you payed thousands extra to get. A bit disappointing not getting the front locker but not a huge deal.

THANK YOU for reviewing a manual transmission, and towing with it! My channel has a lot of videos with my JK in them, and some towing. I have the 6spd manual and love it. It did sound like that new 6spd had to dig a little deep for the torque, which is surprising, because I thought FCA made 1st gear taller in the JL than it is in the JK.

Thanks for the video, I have been driving a 2000 Jeep Wrangler since 2001 and have been leaning towards the Gladiator Mojave over the Rubicon due to the suspension and the fact that the majority of my driving will be on road. I also do enjoy off road driving but I cant spend that kind of money and a vehicle and then grind it over rocks.

Figure out what amount of height you lost in the front. Then get closest front spacer lift to correct the geometry. Not perfect but best bet without spending a lot of money. There is some info on it on the gladiator forums. I have a JTR that I'm about to put King or Fox remote reservoirs on. Good luck with your Gladiator.
@dantimber
@dantimber 3 жыл бұрын
By adding winch and after market bumper (steel I presume?) you effectively permanently lowered the load capacity by that additional weight. Adding a front lift may correct the geometry but would not take away the fact that you changed front too back weight distribution and subtracted from the load capacity. Further I understand the reason why Jeep used a plastic front bumper and removed the rear underside bars was to lower the overall weight and thus not lower overall load capacity even more as well as affect performance with a higher overall weight. The Mojave has a finely tuned suspension probably best left stock, including the wheels and tires

From what I understand, the lower tow rating for the manual transmission is due to the clutch, it’s a bit weak. Also, if you spend most of your time on the highway the Mojave has a better ride than the Rubicon if that matters to anyone, this isn’t a Lincoln town car but either one will have a much better ride than the CJ5 I used to drive.

After driving the Rubicon and the Mojave, can the Mojave do slow trails and be fine? Maybe a dumb question, so maybe I should reword it, how capable is the Mojave off road without a front locker? I'm in Georgia and would love to take a Gladiator out to Colorado one day to run some passes but nothing super extreme. It would also be a daily driver around the Atlanta area and head to Florida beaches. Any recommendations would be appreciated, Rubicon or Mojave. Thank you, and love the work you do.

I feel like this is a great package except for one glaring issue and that is power. If you really do plan to take it out into the sand, you are going to notice how much the engine has to work to get that wheel speed up. It is by no means a deal breaker, but I do feel that for a vehicle of that size and weight, in the sand, this might actually be a bit of an issue. Now if they brought the 392 to this thing then we really would have the full complement. At that point I this truck to be a no brainer if you are looking for something smaller than a Raptor but built to haul buns off-road.

I’ll be towing roughly 4000lbs plus the trailer weight but only once or twice a year 200 miles one way. The Jeep website they set you up on listed my vin to tow 8000lbs, but I’d prefer to keep it under 7000.

Any mildly serious towing over distance and some air bags in the back are a good modification. Weight distributing hitch as well. If your towing bigger stuff a bigger truck might be for you. Power wagon or another full size. Have to make some compromises for the Gladiator unless it gets a v8. I still think a Gladiator 2500 built on the power wagon chassis would be pretty slick.

For the size it does the job it’s designed to do ,I’m always wondering why people want a small truck with full-size specs ,that doesn’t make sense ,a compact truck or these days midsize truck compared to the earlier compacts in the 80s were designed for people doing light duty towing and hauling for the average weekend warrior ,full size trucks are designed more for the person that is looking for hauling and bigger loads (wider stance longer wheelbase bigger frame to help keep its manners when hauling and towing the bigger stuff a midsize really is it designed to do ) .you choose according to what fits your intended purpose .now they could add some power wagon features like stock winch maybe some 60s with 35 inch stock tires to improve off road capability. I drove a 88 ranger xtra cab with some 33s as my first truck and it did everything I asked of it for it’s designed purpose and I didn’t expect any more of it ,it was a dream to cruise around town because of its size and very rarely did I haul super heavy loads or tow large trailers with it .I enjoyed the ranger for 90 percent of my purposes then When needed I rented a full size when I needed full size capability ,what I said could be debated and I would expect it, I also put a 5.0 in that same ranger not so much to handle increased tow or payload but to have more pep with less strain for the 33s The dinky 6 couldn’t provide so there is some options that could improve on the gladiator like the current 6.4 they are dropping in the JL now but I wouldn’t expect full size tow and payload specs but more for effortless power to move up mountain passes and more torque through the soft stuff ,I wouldn’t mind seeing them widen the body a touch keeping with the same design and footprint with smaller flares to increase shoulder space in the interior a touch and give more room in the engine bay to increase possible upgrades as well as making easier to service the engine personally without having to move stuff to get to other things .I’m like tinkering with things and I always will say you can improve on anything to a point without losing the intended purpose but once you exceed that point it’s time to look at moving up in size if you needs to handle stuff past it’s design .

@@WbrookS-jm2bj yea the Dakota was a perfect combo for size and the v8 was just the right amount of power for the size ,the 04 was the one I wanted after my ranger because of the disc rear brakes ,I had a few friends with the Dakota and I loved the 2nd gen ,it was my favorite and pretty reliable to boot ,but one thing that drives me to the gladiator is the top coming off and the straight axle up front ,they been throwing around the idea of the Dakota back and if they keep to a baby ram frame on body look with ifs in the front with the v8 option and a decent off road package then they might be able to grab a good market share of the midsize market with the Dakota being more of a traditional look and with the road manners a ifs offers ?and then the gladiators for the topless sfa simplicity ,durability’and articulation only a sfa can offer . Side of the spectrum .I don’t knock ifs front ends because I’ve had both and until now ifs has been the main setup for midsize/ compacts and have improved greatly over the years ,the old 4Runner I had at one time was the only one I think that had a sfa setup till the gladiator,but that Damn bulletproof 22r was great but longing for power big time lol . Ford is rumored to come out with a pickup version of the bronco but sadly I’m not a fan of turbos and I really feel they missed the mark that the fans wanted not dropping the 5.0 as a option .when and if they build the truck variant I hope they realize the mistake and give the bronco what it’s missing .

They guys thanks for doing what you do, is there any chance of asking FCA to review a Willys gas engine model. At 75k cdn for a rubicon or Mojave and the limitation the both tune suspension for each model when useing it as a truck I am wondering if a lower trim like the willys is a better model

The lower trims seem to have higher payload ratings because they weigh less empty. Also the Max Tow package Option available on the Sport and Sport S will have the highest payload rating of any Gladiators.

I’m green as all get out when it comes to 4WD vehicles but why can’t the front sway bar be disconnected on this vehicle? I get that the Rubicon can disconnect electronically but what’s to stop someone from doing it the old fashioned way? Or is it a structural thing? Sorry if it’s a dumb ass question, I’ve always owned cars and never anything like a Jeep or other solid front axle vehicle.

Anything can be manually disconnected - problem is do you leave it off? Re-install when you hit pavement? Frankly, you'd probably only do that once.

@@TruckKing fair point. just got into my first Jeep, and it’s the Gladiator Mojave. Most of the wheeling in my area in Florida is mostly trail riding with the occasional blasting through mud, didn’t feel like I missed a LOT not getting the Rubi but I was just curious. Thanks for the quick response 👍🏼

tbh going from my 08' tundra to the mojave. all i really lost was 1200lbs extra towing capacity. The payload is only 100lbs differ which is insane considering one is a midsize baja truck and the other is a fullsize work truck. I easily tow my 3500lbs A/T camper with my Mojave, and it really shines on the trail, something my Tundra really couldn't do despite being lifted and on 35s. TBH if i need more payload in the future im sure someone will offer HD springs or i can go with a modest 2in lift kit from Ironman 4x4 or Dobison with +800lbs dynamic capacity increase. however i have easily gotten 1800lbs in the bed with no issues as far as getting stuff from lowes to my house. However i wouldn't offroad with more than 350-450lbs of stuff in the bed, but thats more than enough for a good rooftop tent and other camping gear.
