2024 Jeep® Gladiator Mojave X Models Are Now Arriving At Dealers
The New Luxury-Oriented "Desert Rated" Model Has Arrived, But It Isn't Cheap...
In a market packed with options, the updated 2024 Jeep® Gladiator Mojave with the new “X” package is making its way to dealer lots. This revamped midsize pickup promises a blend of rugged off-road prowess and premium luxury but with a hefty price tag.
A Tough Year for the Gladiator –
After a lackluster 2023, Jeep is banking on the Mojave X to turn things around. The updated model boasts a redesigned front grille, restructured trim packaging, and an overhauled interior. The hope is to lure more drivers into the premium luxury midsize pickup market.
“Desert Rated” For A Reason –
The Mojave X earns its “Desert Rated” badge with serious off-road upgrades. Specially tuned high-performance FOX shocks, external shock reservoirs, and military-grade suspension fluid ensure optimal handling and comfort on high-speed sand runs. Front hydraulic jounce bumpers act as a secondary pair of shocks, preventing bottoming out in extreme off-road situations.
An Off-Road+ button takes things up a notch, allowing drivers to adjust throttle, transmission shift points, and traction control for peak performance in various terrains. The Mojave X has been rigorously tested in five categories: ride control and stability, traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, and desert prowess.
Luxury At A Price –
The Mojave X package comes with a hefty price tag of $10,000, pushing the total cost to a jaw-dropping $69,535 for this Bright White example at Vaughn Automotive in Kirksville, MO. The base Mojave is priced at $52,995 (excluding $1,895 for destination).

It’s a daring move by Jeep, entering a realm where midsize pickups rarely tread. The question remains: Will the market embrace this opulent take on the rugged Gladiator, or is the price just too steep for enthusiasts to justify? Only time and the open road will reveal the answer.
