Recent Vehicle Launches and Reviews

Gladiator Mojave: A Solid Axle Upgrade

Diesel Power and the Golden Age of Overland

RAM 1500 Limited EcoDiesel: A Luxury

ARB-Modified Ford Ranger: A Daily Driver's

Land Rover Defender: Practicality Meets

GMC AT4 Yukon: Luxury Meets Off-Road

Nissan Titan: Struggling to Keep Up

Upcoming Vehicles and Closing Thoughts

Host Scott Brady and cohost Matt Scott discuss a recurring quarterly format reviewing new vehicles they’ve recently driven, focusing on pros and cons for overland and off-road use. They cover the Jeep Gladiator Mojave’s desert-focused tuning, interior upgrades, stronger axle components, and tradeoffs versus the Rubicon (no front locker or sway-bar disconnect, different low range), and they also discuss diesel Wrangler benefits and fuel economy alongside concerns about diesel availability and long-term reliability. Scott reviews the Ram 1500 Limited EcoDiesel’s luxury interior, air suspension, strong economy but modest power, and compares it unfavorably for value against the Nissan Titan SL, which they find unrefined, weak off-road, and uncompetitive at its price. They praise an ARB-modified Ford Ranger’s suspension and performance and preview upcoming ARB-Ford collaboration. They revisit the newly available Land Rover Defender’s outstanding interior practicality and ride quality, noting styling reservations and the need to prove long-term reliability. Matt reviews the GMC Yukon AT4’s comfort, payload, air suspension, and underwhelming 5.3 power and traction control in a pre-production unit, and they close by teasing upcoming tests including a Power Wagon, diesel Gladiator, and AWD Ford Transit.
