2025 Jeep® JT Mojave JOOSE Brings Desert-Rated Power To Mexico
Limited To 50 Units, Finished In Bright JOOSE Orange
The Jeep® brand is keeping its momentum strong in Mexico with the arrival of the new 2025 Jeep JT Mojave JOOSE Limited Edition. Unlike the United States and Canada, where Jeep’s midsize pickup proudly carries the Gladiator badge, the Mexican market knows it simply as the “JT” due to a trademark conflict. For 2025, Jeep has decided to roll out a very special edition of the Mojave, finished in a striking JOOSE Orange exterior and limited to just 50 units, ensuring exclusivity right from the start.
Priced at $1,648,900 MXN (about $98,500 USD), the 2025 Jeep JT Mojave JOOSE is positioned at the top end of Jeep’s Mexican lineup. Its unique color, upgraded hardware, and Desert Rated badge highlight its purpose: to be the ultimate high-speed desert runner. Like the Wrangler Rubicon JOOSE Limited Edition recently announced for the same market, this new JT proves Jeep’s commitment to offering bold, high-impact special editions across the globe.
From the outside, the JT Mojave JOOSE features several design updates that set it apart. The truck sports a redesigned seven-slot grille, a windshield-integrated antenna for improved off-road clearance, and an exclusive wheel design. Bright orange tow hooks, orange accents, and protective steel rock rails underline its rugged identity, while the 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 33-inch off-road tires make sure it can back up its looks with real desert capability. The special JOOSE Orange paint ensures this truck will stand out anywhere it goes, whether in the dunes or on city streets.
What really separates the Mojave JOOSE from a standard JT is its Desert Rated hardware. Jeep engineered this package for high-speed sand running and punishing terrain. Heavy-duty Dana 44 axles with a 4.10 gear ratio, a Command-Trac transfer case with a 2.72:1 low range, and FOX™ 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs come standard. FOX hydraulic bump stops at the front soften big impacts, while a one-inch front suspension lift improves clearance. The Off-Road+ Mode allows drivers to adjust throttle, shift points, and traction control for sandy surfaces or low-speed rock crawling. The rear Tru-Lok differential can even be locked at higher speeds, a feature that highlights the Mojave’s focus on fast desert running.
Inside, Jeep has made sure the Mojave JOOSE delivers comfort and modern technology to match its rugged performance. The biggest highlight is the new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, the largest and most advanced display ever fitted to a JT. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ come standard, and voice recognition has been improved with matrix microphone technology. The interior also features 12-way power-adjustable front seats, a reworked dashboard with soft-touch materials and contrast stitching, and a redesigned center console that prioritizes functionality. Multiple USB ports, including fast-charging Type-C outlets, keep devices powered, and a 115-volt AC outlet provides household-style power for extra convenience.
Safety has also been elevated for the 2025 model year. Jeep now offers over 85 active and passive safety systems across the JT lineup, and the Mojave JOOSE benefits from them all. Curtain airbags for both rows are included, along with front collision warning, adaptive cruise control with stop, electronic stability control, and advanced traction management systems. These features provide peace of mind for drivers who push the Mojave hard in extreme conditions, as well as those who simply want a secure daily driver.
Under the hood, the Mojave JOOSE retains the tried-and-true 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, rated at 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an 8-speed 850RE automatic transmission, this engine delivers smooth power delivery with an emphasis on low-end torque, perfect for off-road climbing, towing, and hauling. Stop-start technology (ESS) comes standard to improve fuel efficiency, though buyers of this truck are clearly more focused on performance than saving fuel.
The 2025 Jeep JT Mojave JOOSE captures the essence of Jeep’s desert-conquering DNA while adding a splash of exclusivity and refinement. Its limited production run makes it a collector’s piece, and its Desert Rated certification proves it can tackle Baja-style runs with ease. At the same time, its upgraded interior, advanced technology, and expanded safety features make it versatile enough to handle daily life in Mexico’s cities and highways.
For Jeep enthusiasts south of the border, the Mojave JOOSE represents the best of both worlds: a capable desert predator wrapped in an exclusive, high-impact package. With just 50 units available, it will not only be one of the most capable midsize pickups on sale in Mexico—it will also be one of the rarest.
