2024 Jeep® Gladiator Mojave X Models Are Now Arriving At Dealers

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).
