Oh, and by the way since you asked and can't do a Google search yourself, the Rivian R1T, GMC Hummer EV, and the RamTRX are all 4x4s which are faster than the 392. Buying a Jeep to race or call it fast is foolish - they're nice rigs, but they are way overpriced. But hey, you be you and enjoy 4th place and losing 30 to 40 grand after a year or two.
Good riddance

I daily a 392 Moab that I picked up almost two months ago. I love it. Don’t let any of the noise in this thread dissuade you, it’s a great daily driver. The only downside is the gas bill, but, as others have said, most JLUs get modded to the point that they’re getting similar mileage to a stock 392 anyways, so why not have 470hp to play with while you do it?

2021 392 Rubicon
My 392 Rubicon is in the shop getting some work done. Ended up getting a 2026 BMW 330i as a rental car.

I can't stand it. My butt sits around 10 inches off the ground, and my head is lower than the top of my Wrangler's 35's. I can't see shit if there is a car in front of me, and for me that is a very uncomfortable feeling. I could drive my 392 right over it with no problem, and sitting next to a tractor trailer in traffic doesn't feel safe, at all. Feels like my safety depends more on everyone around me, which is the opposite of how a wrangler feels.

The BMW doesn't have any features that my 392 doesn't, except exterior accent lighting and power folding mirrors. The BWM feels like I'd have to hit a gas station every 3 to 4 weeks, which is the only good thing I kind of like about it.

I cannot wait to get my 392 back, and this experience made me realize how good it really is. I'm not knocking the BMW, it's a fine automobile.

I miss the days when people didnt feel the need to drive something with less visibility than an M1 Abrams

Daily Drive my 22- 392 on 37s. Over 65K on the odometer and would not complain about shit. MiniTazeJL for RWD. I don't care about gas milage and I'm in the throttle any time I feel like it. It will easily spin the 37" MT BB AT even when rolling.
