No more 392?

[Stuckinthesand]

Not unexpected but saw this article and it confirms the 392 is dead.

Yeah sorry, very biased source there.

Time to cram more electric BS down everyones throat

Yeah sorry, very biased source there.

I agree it is biased but it was based off the interview with Jeep execs from this article which solidified it in my opinion. According to this we probably won’t see trackhawks anymore either.

I think the context is missing. I read that as the author is anticipating and advocating it to be ended, not that FCA is doing that yet.

Read my other link posted a few posts down. It is in fact coming from Morrison.

“In the Motor Authority interview, Morrison provided a very clear picture of the future of Jeep powertrains. Morrison told Motor Authority that V8s are dead in performance Jeeps, and there are no clear plans on how to proceed with the Trackhawk nameplate.”

Welcome to old news. All this was revealed before. This article does not point out that they have already admitted to finishing out the run of V8's in current platform vehicles through 2023. Clickbait article that is rehashing a bunch of older articles from a month ago and more.

That makes sense. I didn’t consider it that way.

It's not dead now, but if they put a HO Hurricane or HO Hurricane 4xe, who's gonna care. Just the HO Hurricane is like 500/575.

 

[MacombRoger]

One more thing. Bronco and Bronco Raptor may change Jeep's plans too.

Yeah I think this has been known for at least a month but the question remaining is what year is the last year of the 392?

Just to be a lil' clearer. A few months ago, the execs admitted that they were closing down the lines that make the hellcat and 392's and those engines would be absent come 2024. This article just hyped it up a lil' more and made it seem like it just happened. The 392, for all intents and purposes, should be in the 2023 Wrangler for one more year.

That makes more sense. That's a huge investment to be throwing away after only 2 model years.

the new inline 3.0 twin turbo will be taking over for the SRT line. I hate seeing this happening since you know. electric batteries just dont last and then they get stuff in the earth to ruin it more than a little C.O emissions. anyways i wont get into that. The Ceo's have already said full electric will not come to jeep for a very long time if it ever does. Hybrids are good but still ICE will be needed as our power grids cannot handle the increase of power production to keep up with the demand. California alone is already telling you, you cannot charge your car between 2PM-9Pm daily due to grid restraints. and currently we do not have the water source to make more power via Hydro. electric. this whole ordeal is stupid
