https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-gladiator-392-v8-confirmed-wrangler-392-continuing-indefinitely

On Thursday, at a media briefing Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said the 392 cubic inch V8 engine will be leveraged in the Jeep lineup followed by, “Wrangler and Gladiator fans, and Hemi fans in general, don’t worry.”
After this announcement, it’s unlikely any Jeep fans are resting, as some might be hyperventilating. Who’s ready for a four-door pickup with removable doors, roof, and a huge V8 engine? Prepare your bank accounts.
Broderdorf said “after being out at the Rubicon Trail, it’s clear just how much people love the roar of the 392.” It’s worth noting, people traverse the Rubicon Trail at slow speeds, which means no engines are roaring.
“The 6.4-liter Hemi V8 will have a home at Jeep,” Broderdorf said.

Price would still need to drop way down for me to consider.

Get ready for the waves of idiots who buy V8 Gladiators to tow their 150ft rolling condo of a camper and 50ft off shore racing boat, then take the the internet to bitch and complain "it's a shit truck, it can't tow my stuff and it rides like shit".

Anyone that thought the 392 wrangler was actually going away are likely gullible morons. They are also pissy they rushed out to buy the "final final no realy this is the final edition".

I love this paragraph: Broderdorf said “after being out at the Rubicon Trail, it’s clear just how much people love the roar of the 392.” It’s worth noting, people traverse the Rubicon Trail at slow speeds, which means no engines are roaring.

According to the author, it is impossible to rev an engine at slow speeds 😆

Guess they didn't learn their lesson after they got sued for the lying about limiting Durango Hellcat production 🙃

They finally listened. Would love to see the 5.7 hemi make it in too
It is worth noting that Jeep did not explicitly state that the V8 Gladiator would be a 392, so a 5.7l Hemi Gladiator is still a possibility.

🤪This is awesome news. 392 should be the only engine offered - then price would come down.
