Desert Runner vs. Rock Crawler: Jeep Gladiator Mojave vs. Rubicon Off-Road | TFL Truck

Published on TFL Truck 3/28/2020 by Grant Davis

TFL got it hands on FCA’s newest truck, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. Specifically tuned for high-speed desert runs, the Mojave is Jeep’s attempt to showcase the versatility of the Gladiator platform as a competitor to the likes of the Chevy ZR2. While we don’t have easy access to a wipe open sandy wash or desert track that runs for miles, we do have the Ironclad, our signature off-road test-course, and Gobi, TFL’s own Gladiator Rubicon.

In this side-by-side comparison, we pit each truck against the Razor Rocks, which tests a truck’s approach angle, articulation, breakover angle, and traction. Then we compare each truck’s crawling ability to determine which one can go the slowest. And last we mapped out a roughly quarter-mile high-speed off-road track with bumps, mud, snow, and dirt for speed runs.
