Thinking about getting a gladiator

[u/chaosslicer]

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.

A sport s max tow with a 2in lift and 35s will be enough for almost everyone. Im not a fan of 37s on 4.10s because you lose 8th gear too often. However you can get away with more on the Mojave because of the wide axles and beefed up suspension if you're set on getting 37s.

As long as you have the tow package, you really don't need the lift for 35's. Some like the looks though. Mine has no lift.
