BORN 2RUN
THE JEEP Wrangler has set the bar in the off-road world for decades, and its reputation as a capable trail rig is undisputed. But when the Gladiator JT debuted in 2019, the brand’s first pickup in nearly 30 years, it rattled the industry, receiving praise and persecution. The cynics cited its length, wheelbase and reduced breakover angle simply didn’t fit the bill for serious fourwheeling. But for truck guys like me, a Jeep pickup was long overdue. Comfortable seating for four adults, live axles, a nimble suspension, vetted drivetrain, and room for heaps of gear … what’s not to love?
While the Rubicon model is crafted for the rock-crawling crowd and the Overland is ideal for adventure seekers, the seven-slot powersthatbe realised the JT might be the perfect platform for dust-loving dirt aficionados that like to go fast in the desert. Enter the ‘Desert Rated’ Gladiator Mojave.
