Its great that everyone who’s getting one or thinking about ordering one is excited and happy.
But there’s no way this 392 is worth $75K plus whatever dealer markups will be in the first few months of release.
It’s insane how much Wranglers have gone up in price just over the past few years. My fully loaded 2018 JLUR MSRP’d at $54K...now I read fully loaded JLUR is near $60K or more. $15K for just an engine upgrade is crazy...what else do you get if anything.
When you consider a base Sport model costs like $35K does adding all these extras cost another $35K!
Maybe if they put a 392 in a Sport S I’d consider it, but forcing everyone to buy the top tier Rubicon in order to get the 392 is a cash grab by FCA.
At $75K lots of other options out there. And yes I know those options aren’t a direct one to one in regards to capability but really how many of these 392s will even see dirt let alone a real off-road trail. Pay $75K to get the upgraded engine but you’re still dealing with the quality and issues that come with a $40K vehicle. At $40K those issues and quality are in some ways expected, but not at $75K.
