I bought the CHEAPEST Jeep Gladiator Mojave in America!

Im a Jeep family man , seriously we all have one. I waited years for the Gladiator to come out but then as it did i got hurt and had surgery and had to heal up , get working again before i could fullfil that dream . Once i was back @100 i really wanted it but that price tag was killing me , started having big paint issues with my JLU and heard the JT's price was dropping and i started looking & boy was it worth the wait !!!! Got JTR about a month & a half ago and you never feel like you did good when leaving the dealership but i truly did ! 2023 JTR only option i didnt get was the Aux switches but i got it all !! sticker was just over 69 grand i paid 52,700 after discount and getting more than i thought id get for the JLU .... The build has begun and i freaking love having a Jeep with a bed again !!!! let the first one go and never got over it ! this one is with me until death !!!!!

Saturday I bought a new '23 Mojave for $43.5K with the 8-spd and cold weather package. It felt like they just wanted it off the lot. They even said it was a slow day during negotiation. I haul my Yanmar tractor(5300lbs incl trailer) once a month. I'm using the same Tekonsha P3. Kids and wife love the Mojave. I can't wait for warmer weather. I'm coming from a 2015 Ram 1500 5.7L. I handed my Ram down to my father, so I can borrow it if needed.

Great review and price information!😊

Hey man! glad i stumbled across your channel! Here in wichita as well, just picked up a gladiator for myself. My ears perked up when you mentioned local dealers (i used to work for MHF) small world!

New subscriber. Great content on my favorite truck.

I scored a $62,100 MSRP JT Rubicon for $47,500...... Love the thing.

Great looking Jeep, I really like these in white. I currently have a 4Runner, but I've always wanted a Jeep, and I've never had a brand new vehicle. These discounts really have me tempted.

Looking forward to the content. I have a manual transmission 2022 mojave. Love mine. My wife has an overland gladiator and my father has a rubicon gladiator. I think once the 23s sell off and the 24s hit the lots, the values will jump back up.

Just bought a '23 JTR FarOut diesel in PunknOrange. Sticker was $78.5k...bought it for $60k. Still a tough pill but couldnt turn it down because of the diesel.

Loving my Mo-chine! We were going in for a pickem up truck, heard a lot of cool things about the Ram 1500, so that's what I was going to look at. My kid liked the Sarge Green and asked if we could consider THAT one. I put $500 deposit on it, informing the sales lady I needed time to come up with the down payment. Meanwhile I watched YouTube video reviews. Every reviewer who actually drove it LOVED it. Came a.way giggling like a child! I decided that's the kind of fun I should have. It was expensive- yes, but now that they're coming out with real trail savvy trucks, the Gladiators are running cheap. Plus taking the top and doors off- BONUS. You wind up with enough money for the lift and tires your thinking of! Love that truck!

Congrats on it! I just bought a 2023 Willy's edition, stick shift. It took a while to find one (stick shift), but finally found one and in black! Lovin' it more and more every day!

I bought a Freedom Edition with a 60,800 MSRP that checked all my boxes except aux switches for 42,550 as Jeep had a 15% off incentive and the dealer I went to was one of the few in the country matching the Jeep incentive for 30% off. One thing MOST lot darlings do NOT have are one a limited slip differential and almost never do they have the Selec Trac full time 4WD. I found a dealer that always orders them with this feature and limited slip because we live in the NW Montana/Idaho and he understood the value of those two things. So, that and a few other things that checked my boxes. I saw Scotty Kilmer and his review put me over the edge... At first he was like, ambivalent but he did one later where he saw its core and agreed. But he did note it is a "lifestyle" vehicle and not for everyone. You bring up good points. And I was sorely tempted by a limited time color called "Earl" manual because of all the reasons you noted. But at 68, a manual can be a literal pain and I kept hearing people say that after awhile, they were less enamored of the manual than when they got it...particularly those who used it as a daily driver. It is a Toyota manual tranny and with the fix they did time will tell. Good luck and I will watch you as you move down the pike.

Wow, great deal, awesome gladdy 😊

You can add an EL locker to the front. But the stiffer frame that’s stronger in the better suspension. I think it’s worth it.

I came from a 2019 Colorado zr2. I was always leery of Jeep due to a poor quality reputation. Yeah… the Chevy went through 2 transmissions, 3 full AC replacements, 3 center console hvac control panel replacements. 1 transfer case failure, and 2 rear axle brake issues in 70k miles. I jumped over to Mojave in May 2023 and it’s been great so far. 15k miles and 0 issues. Off road the thing is very impressive, especially here in the southern California desert. The gladiator break over angle is noticeable, but everything else is fantastic! You hit the nail on the head with the value proposition now that jeep has discounted them so much. As far as I can tell, there isn’t another 50k sh truck that even comes close :) I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have enjoyed ours so far and happy jeep trails, man!

Found this vid at the perfect time! I just got a 23 Gladiator (white automatic sport trim w/ max towing, hardtop, few other bonuses) for 28% off MSRP! Priced at $56k originally, we left the dealership paying just under $41k. It does seem like they are oversupplied. Also, agree that full MSRP would have been tough to justify against a Bronco, Tacoma TRD Off Road, Tremor Trim Ranger, or ZR2 Colorado but w/ the discounts that Jeep/Stellantis + dealers have been adding, it felt like a no-brainer. Can't wait for summertime!!!

The gladiators also have much better back seat room than the other midsized, resale on gladiators is in the toilet, my 22 Mohave loaded I bought 15 months ago waswas 63 599, it’s worth 36k in trade right now only 20 k miles with hard top leather

Great video, I’ve been looking for a new off-roader (currently in a Hemi Grand Cherokee Trailhawk). I like the gladiator but hate the power train. I would like to replace my Grand Cherokee within the next 6 months and the Colorado ZR2 is my current top choice but I know the Ranger Raptor will be out soon along with the new taco (although I don’t think I could ever actually spend my own money on a taco). I also know the Ranger Raptor will be bang impossible to get and have huge markups that I’m not willing to pay. The frontier also just doesn’t really do it for me… top three options for me right now are 1. 24’ Colorado ZR2, 2. 19 or 20 f150 Raptor, 3 Gladiator Rubicon or Mojave. Not sure there’s a question in there but I do appreciate your video.

So, you said they upgraded the clutch and flywheel. Was that because of the recall and issues they were having on previous years? That was my pet peeve about the one I had (2022 model year). The clutch felt inadequate for the power and weight of the vehicle and it would over heat if backing up on an incline for too long. Great review btw!

Great video! What is the bed cap brand?
