The Gladiator Mojave is the first vehicle in Jeep’s lineup to be “Desert Rated.” And like the name Mojave itself, the Desert Rated badge has credibility, too. “So, when we decided to do the truck, it felt natural because this segment of customer (midsize truck) has a passion for it.” ![]() “There’s always been the segment of our fanbase that wants to go fast in the desert,” says Milosavlevski. The Gladiator Mojave’s mission is just as hardcore, but the terrain is a little different. When the company puts those 3-inch tall R-U-B-I-C-O-N letters on the side of a Wrangler or Gladiator hood-it not only means those vehicles can tackle the Rubicon Trail itself but also just about any other slow-speed trail in the country. Jeep has a tradition of naming its most capable vehicles after places that push 4X4s to the breaking point. “We were looking for a codename and so the engineers naturally landed on ‘Mojave.’ It became the nomenclature within our ranks and just stuck.” “We spent a great deal of time testing in the Mojave Desert,” says Gladiator chief engineer Pete Milosavlevski. But if the history of the “Rubicon” badge is anything to go by, Jeep’s name for the desert-proven version of the Gladiator pickup carries more weight, substance and authenticity than most. These days, that’s no small thing: Names used for most new vehicles are superficial-focus-grouped to sound cool, or at least inoffensive. ![]() The place was such an integral part of the new Jeep’s development that it took the desert’s name. It’s where the brand’s first “Desert Rated” offering was developed and honed, to start. It’s the perfect setting in which to test out the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. If you’re testing in these desolate parts, you’d be wise to bring along another Jeep, along with a Warn recovery kit, Maxtrax sand traction boards and enough bottled water to fill a kiddie pool. It’s a friendly reminder that this is a remote chunk of the Mojave Desert and if your vehicle dies out here-so might you.
