What does it mean to be Desert Rated? This first-ever label for the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave is your assurance that the off-roading pickup is ready for the toughest conditions you might find in BC and beyond.
First, the Mojave must have excellent traction capabilities to earn this badge. And it certainly does so, thanks to its strategic delivery and management of the powertrain, wheels, and driver assistance features.
Next, the Mojave must withstand gravel, sand, and the intense heat and sun found in unforgiving environments. At the same time, it has to handle it all while staying stable on dunes and in valleys—and it certainly does, courtesy of the finely-tuned suspension with reinforced axles and FOX front hydraulic jounce bumpers, cast iron steering knuckles, and more specially-crafted features.
Finally, this pickup must be manoeuvrable while also maintaining excellent ground clearance around BC at all times. In fact, it's been raised by 2.54 cm to ensure that it remains well away from hazards. Of course, the 2021 Gladiator Mojave passed with flying colours, and it proudly earned the Desert Rated badge.
