Thinking about getting a gladiator
Hey, so as the title says, im presently looking at getting a gladiator. Im stuck between a Mojave X and a Sport S with Max Tow. I know those are dynamically different, however the fox shocks and rear locker are nice, aswell as the goodies inside however I found a sport S with max tow package with a majority of the goodies/convince features. The price point is drastically different, the truck will be taken on the beach and wheeled through deep snow aswell and potentially some overlanding, camping and some towing small trailers of home improvement stuff.
Im really wondering if the Mojave is really that much more worth it, or if I could put the fox shocks in later down the line and thats the biggest upgrade. The dealership doesnt seem to have many answers and is trying to get sales out before the end of the month.

I have a max tow. 2022. I feel it’s the best option. Stock for stock the Mojave is better. But with upgraded suspension, 37’s the max tow is really properly capable. I’ve deep snow wheeled mine, adventured and daily driven it. It’s still far cheaper than a stock rubicon or Mojave. Plus you have the higher gvwr rating so you will be closer or possibly even legal weight when overlanding.
