The Jeep® brand is back for its ninth year at the renowned Rebelle Rally, ready to showcase the world’s most capable midsize pickup, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. This desert-rated vehicle, known for conquering harsh terrains, will be driven by accomplished off-road veterans Nena Barlow and Teralin Petereit in the 2024 edition of the only women’s off-road navigation rally in the U.S.
Gladiator Mojave: Built for the Desert
The 2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave stands as the only Jeep vehicle bearing the prestigious Desert Rated badge. Designed to master high-speed desert and sand terrain, it features a reinforced frame, strengthened iron steering knuckles, and an enhanced suspension system with segment-exclusive FOX hydraulic jounce bumpers. New for 2024, it also includes side-curtain airbags and a 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen.
Built to thrive in unforgiving environments, the Gladiator Mojave is set to prove its mettle once again. It has been rigorously tested across five categories: ride control and stability, traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, and desert prowess—ensuring it’s capable of conquering unpredictable desert terrain with ease.
Veteran Competitors Ready for the Challenge
Team #129, comprising Nena Barlow and Teralin Petereit, will take the wheel of the Gladiator Mojave for this year’s rally. Barlow, a four-wheel-drive training expert and founder of Barlow Adventures, teams up with Petereit, a seasoned off-road enthusiast. With a combined experience of 14 Rebelle Rallies and multiple podium finishes, the duo has the skills and experience to compete at the highest level.
“We’re honored to represent the Jeep brand once again,” said Barlow. “The rally is tougher than ever, but we don’t have to worry about capability in our Jeep Gladiator Mojave. We never hesitate to chase the toughest checkpoints, and that’s a huge advantage.”
The Rebelle Rally: A Unique Off-Road Challenge
The Rebelle Rally is the ultimate test of off-road endurance, spanning eight days and over 1,500 miles across the Nevada and California deserts. Unlike traditional speed-based races, the Rebelle Rally focuses on precise navigation and driving, using only maps, compasses, and roadbooks—no GPS allowed. It’s a proving ground not only for the competitors but also for the vehicles they drive.
The 2024 Rebelle Rally begins on October 10 in Mammoth Lakes, California, and concludes on October 19 in the Southern California desert. Jeep enthusiasts and off-road fans can follow the competition on RebelleRally.com.
Jeep Gladiator Mojave: King of the Desert
With a groundbreaking desert-tuned suspension, advanced traction control, and maximized ground clearance, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave is made for the dunes. This high-speed desert racer continues to set the standard for off-road performance, making it the perfect companion for tackling the demanding Rebelle Rally.
