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

FCA is notorious for aggressive torque management (reduction) programs in 1st/2nd gear on ZF platforms. As such, I think the 2.0/3.0 numbers above are extremely optimistic.

Name a terrain and I can just about guarantee you I’ve wheeled it with both the 3.6/6MT and 3.0/8AT...95% of the time the wheel speed in 1st/4H with the 3.0 is plenty slow to control the rig over technical rock. When I do need 4L it’s more for the lockers than the lower wheel speed. I honestly expected to need the 4.10 in the 3.0 and have yet to feel the need once. The low-rpm torque of the 392 will likely yield the same experience for the huge majority of folks running less than 40s.

If you're wheeling 95% of the time in 4H then the terrain you think is technical really isn't or you just have no idea what you're doing:

Someone with more money than sense will buy this,

I can't wait to have more money than sense.

Awesome!! Anybody want to guess the price. I predict $65K

I hope it's 65K but I'm thinking around 70K to start...max out price 80K.

Any chance they are just re-stickered Mopar 2.5's? Hard to tell from a picture but they don't look any different than mine other than the color. Would be nice to get something similar to what's on the Mojave.

I wouldn‘t be surprised if it is just a new sticker to go with the bronze theme, but thought it was worth pointing out in case someone had more details on it. I did check a number of Mopar parts sites and didn’t see anything new available... keeping my eyes peeled though.

I don't know how you'd add 10k in options. It comes with almost everything unfortunately.

You know...there are two ways to balance that equation. Increase money or...

It’s funny how you don’t wheel a 3.0 on any terrain, let alone what I do in AK, yet your experience is so vastly different than mine and just about everyone who drove it in Utah and had the same feedback about how often they need 4L.

You could update your chart with the 3.6 6MT. Drops the 392 another notch.

I could, but you would still have issues with whatever I post. Do the math yourself.

I'm going with door #3 Alex. I'll just keep doing both so I can prove him wrong.

I actually appreciate your posts and the mathematical approach you take. Was just adding some context and possible data points. Sorry for whatever butt-hurt I inflicted, wasn’t intentional.

So as much as I would like a 392 with a Manual Transmission, I don't think the current one can withstand the power/torque of the 392. The current clutch needs work to be reliable, one of the main reasons why I upgraded to an Automatic JLUR from my JLUS. Don't get me wrong I like the manual on the JL but I have driven manuals my whole life and I never had any problems until I got my first JLU.

The motor has 0 effect on crawl ratio.

No butt-hurt here.

Go on... do the math. I'll even give you a shortcut: the manual Rubicon's crawl ratio is 84.132:1. All that's left is to multiply that by the peak torque.
