I don’t see the point of driving that fast in a lifted Jeep on 35s with the steering response of a paddleboat.

 

[jeepingib]

Damn son.

Is jeep not allowing video reviews? No one wants to read this crap, we want to see and HEAR it.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term death wobble.

Yeah. In this case, DW stands for Death Wish...!

Dealing with Orlando traffic last weekend made me wish I had the Hemi instead of the 3.6.

From the article: "You can hear the 392 accelerate, startup, and rev in our TikTok video below."

That's cool - if I had the money for the premium gas and the mileage I go to/from work I'd have one in a heartbeat. That thing has to be a beast in the dunes.

Makes we want to restart my thoughts of selling my 392, to get a Recon 392....

I read somewhere that the Jeep 4xe was being pushed as having the same power as the 392 (470hp) and just as fast?????? Maybe this was before people saw the 392 in the flesh but I drove the 4xe and let me tell you, it ain't no Hemi fast. I laughed when I read that headline. Has anyone seen actual 0-60 times for the 4xe?

 

[aldo98229]

Perhaps. But the 2.0T sounds like a blender.

Same mag that got the 392 to go 0-60 in four seconds had the 4xe do it in 5.5.

4XE matches the Hemi for torque at 470ft/lbs, but is 375hp vs 470hp.
