392 Gladiator

[hingedthinker]

I know this is a Wrangler forum, but I'm not a member of a Gladiator forum.

We have a 2019 Moab JLU and we love it. When I first saw the 392 Wrangler news I got really excited!! That continues, BUT...

my buddy has a 2020 Gladiator Mojave with all the bells and whistles. I couldn't help but think how amazing a v8 Gladiator would be just like the Wrangler. I would actually love to get a pickup truck again as I miss the convenience of its utility. I like the idea of a Raptor, but not with a v6 Ecoboost engine. I like the Jeep Wrangler styling better than the F150 so my argument is that a 392 Gladiator Mojave would be my perfect balanced truck. Barring ridiculous insurance costs, a Gladiator HellCat would be my perfect perfect truck. A little or a lot depending on the perspective of everything I dream of in one truck. The utility of a pickup bed, V8 power, and experience, Wrangler styling, serious pre-runner off-road chops.

What say you? Should they have launched both at the same time?? Seems like a missed opportunity to me even with typical marketing and sales arguments.

Jeep dropped the 392 into Wrangler primarily to counter the impact of Bronco's launch. And that it did.

I don't doubt if the 392 proves popular on Wrangler, is profitable, helps boost Wrangler's image, and doesn't hurt FCA's CAFE numbers too much, the motor will find its way to Gladiator.
