Gladiator 392?

[bigfoot21075]

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2012 F-350 Super Crew and a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I LOVE both but just don't drive the F350. I want to keep a truck around for obvious reasons, so I was thinking about selling both of them and ordering a new Gladiator. I have heard rumors of a 392 Hemi Gladiator coming out. Has anyone heard anything either way on that rumor?

I don't know if that's true because, from what I understand, Chrysler is making a push to get rid of the 392 all together. There may be an option later for the Turbo inline 6 but I don't think I'd hold my breath waiting for a 392 Gladiator.

From what I’ve heard from 2 different dealers is that the 23 would be the last year for the 392’s

I had heard the same thing but not straight from a dealer. There is a shop near me called DTO Customs that likes to put V8's in Gladiators, but they also like to add a huge price tag on them. They had one a year or so ago with a Hellcat in it that they wanted $149 grand for.

Damn. I’ll take my factory 392 for what I paid for it.

Don't blame you. We were there looking at Jeeps that I might be able to afford and my son was crawling around on the running boards of the Gladiator. I told him to get off of it because I didn't want to see what it would cost me if he broke something. Looked at the sticker and damned near fell out. ?

Best bet is to order one. There are better deals via factory ordering. Check out the forums if you haven’t done so already

100% CORRECT. Just send an email to Craig Benner ([email protected]) over at Koon's Jeep in VA and he will send you the prices of your potential order in an email.

He got me a FANTASTIC deal on my order.

I went to Chapman in Horsham PA. One hell of a drive there and back but so worth for the deal I got

This was when I was looking for the Jeep I have now. I have a Willys Sport XR on order now.

I ordered from Valley CJDR in Staunton. Got 6% below invoice. Chrysler of Culpeper quoted me 9% below MSRP and both of those places are within an hour from my house. I looked at Gupton but any savings I would have gotten would have been eaten up by having to travel there to get the Jeep.

Everything they have is way overpriced. They put on a lift, tires and few things and then it's crazy price time.

I started noticing that. I actually went there to look at one they hadn't done anything to and they had it advertised at a fairly decent price. I looked at a couple jeeps at Country Chevrolet, which is their parent dealer, and if you looked at KBB and added 4 grand, that's what Country was asking.

yepper, good place to go window shop on a Sunday, if you want to see a set of wheels or something in person.
buy something at their prices, not so much

That's exactly what I did and then priced it all out if I did it myself...shocking. They also don't budge on their pricing. They claim their margins are razor thin and maybe $500 off. Come on.
