Pricing for Jeep Gladiator Mojave has
leaked out in FCA's latest dealer price guide that was posted by a member of
the Jeep Gladiator Forum. It starts at US$ 43,875, plus US$ 1,495 as a destination
fee. This is identical to the base cost of a Gladiator Rubicon. The Mojave goes
on sale in the second quarter of 2020.
The Gladiator Mojave comes with a
3.6-liter V6 making 285 hp and 353
Nm. The six-speed manual is standard, but the eight-speed automatic
adds US$ 2,000 to the truck's price. Both gearbox options come with four-wheel
drive, a two-speed transfer case, and locking rear differential. Inside, black
cloth seats are standard. Customers can upgrade to leather chairs for US$ 1,595 in
a choice of black or steel gray.
The Mojave comes with an overhauled
suspension that Jeep tunes for traveling over desert terrain. There are
2.5-inch (6.35-centimeter) Fox internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs,
and the ride height is an inch (2.54 centimeter) higher at the front for a
total of 11.6 inches (29.46 centimeters). Fox hydraulic jounce bumpers at the
front act as auxiliary shocks for extra damping when the suspension fully
compresses. The track increases by a half-inch (1.27 centimeters). To handle
the punishment, there are frame reinforcements and stronger axles. It rides on
17-inch wheels with 33-inch tires.
Buyers have lots of options choices, too.
The 8.4-inch and Premium Audio Group is US$ 1,845 and includes an upgraded stereo,
automatic high beams, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. There's also the
Advanced Safety Group for US$ 795 that includes adaptive cruise control, automatic
high beams, and forward-collision warning.
