2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 V8 - Specs, Wallpapers, Videos!

[aldo98229]

a big question for me is if this will be a model that will continue to be offered for a number of years (just based on where I am in my buying cycle)?

Also, I understand there is a model refresh due for MY22 - where 35s will be available from the factory (hopefully on this model too).

I have a 4 door due to kids and dog, but if this was ever available in a 2 door - absolutely no question this would be in my garage! Would be insane!!

Hopefully by the time I buy one you don’t have to have the color matched top and fenders, I just don’t like it. Nor the advanced safety group.

The actual big question for me will be the price, given how porked up,it is with options.

As a side note, for any business owners out there it looks like the weight of this thing puts it in the tax deductible category

I am positive this 392 is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

The cost of development and certification alone have to be huge.

Its a halo model - Jeep does expect to sell a huge number of these any more than Ram sells a huge number of Trex's vs the standard Ram. It drives traffic through the showroom.

Jeep better hope Ford doesn't throw a 5.0 V8 in Bronco at a reasonable price. I'd take that over this anyway.

I'm thinking this may have been a preemptive strike. Now FCA can claim Ford is reacting to them rather than the other way around.

Ford’s gone full EcoBoost...

Someone with more money than sense will buy this, will overestimate their skills, not understand physics or vehicle limitations and then end up sideways and wrecked.

It’s only a matter of time. Who’s it going to be?

That and how a buyer will jump on these forums and rant

“I just spent $85k for this car, it only has a few hundred miles on it, the steering wonders[sic], the engine knocks, the A/C is too loud, doesn’t cool fast enough and it’s at the dealer. Biggest regret purchasing. And Jeepcares don’t care.”

LOL that example rant is spot on.

 

[aldo98229]

You'd think. Since the Power Wagon and Raptor are about 55K I hope they'll keep it around that range. I doubt it though since something like the Hellcat Charger comes in at 67K. I don't think they care if they sell a bunch.

Are you quoting in pounds sterling...?

Last time I checked, Power Wagon and Raptor were well into 70k territory.

 

[N8213]

You can get a new Vette for 60k so this has to come in around that...fingers crossed!

Nope. I have a brand new C8 and I'm still trying to convince my wife to trade in here 2020 JLUR for one of these.

^^^ this!

This 392 beast will keep market desirability for our lowly JLs alive and well.

 

[Wheezy]

I wonder if 60's will be a factory "option"?

LOL if you add options they are that high. That's base MSRP for both. The PW I was looking at before buying my JL was $65K. Which is why I expect this 392 to be 60-70K.

I hope so...as is it's hinges on pricing now (really just the differential between my 6 week old JLUR and this). The TC is disappointing, but...it's still pretty much turnkey to drop 37s on. I'd love if a dealer let me swap the TC from mine on delivery. Most Rubicons never go offroad...maybe someone wants selectrac...

Is skytouch top required? I don't want that.

Yes, but the 3.0 gets the 4:1

442 * 4 = 1,812 in 1:1

Yes but how many Jeep owners even understand and care about that.

 

[aldo98229]

I don’t like the wheel center caps.

I’ll pass...

This is tempting, if it comes in around $70k. That's not much higher than the cost of a professional hemi swap with D60's and a 75 or 90 series 8-speed, which would be on top of the original vehicle cost. And I'm glad it comes with 33's. Less value to have to recoup in the second hand market.

I'd switch over my steering, suspension, wheels, and tires. Add a 2-speed Atlas t-case and 60's loaded with big brakes, ARB lockers, and 5.13's, and could still be under six figures.
