What is the difference between the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Sport and Mojave?
One of the key differences between the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Sport and the Mojave is their off-road abilities. Although both models are Trail Rated, the Jeep Gladiator Mojave is the only Jeep vehicle to be Desert Rated, featuring a reinforced frame and axles, iron steering knuckles, and a desert-tuned suspension with FOX 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks and hydraulic jounce bumpers. Additionally, the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Mojave has an upgraded 4x4 system, higher ground clearance of 11.6 inches, and sits on 33-inch all-terrain tires.
Other exterior differences include that the Mojave has power-adjustable heated mirrors, bumper-to-bumper LED lights and turn signals, automatic high-beam headlamps, an optional steel rear bumper, and a winch-capable steel front bumper. It also features a performance hood, forward-facing TrailCam, more standard features, and available Mopar accessories.
The 2025 Jeep Gladiator Sport’s interior is comfortable but does not offer heated leather-trimmed bucket seats with sport bolsters, nor does the base model include additional USB ports and armrests with cupholders.
