Bad news, but word on the street is that it's skipping the Wrangler and going straight into the newly redesigned 2025 Renegade Trackhawk. Only the 500HP+ engine, though. Whee!Ok, so what is the latest??? Is this engine coming to the Wrangler?
the only way I see this happening is at some point when they decide to end the 392 and move away from the V8 hemi stellantis could consider coming out with a replacement model of the 392 badging it in some sort of new form to then drop this engine in it! Honestly if you are looking ahead you see that most car manufacturers are all shifting to 4 cylinder engines with turbo etc and hybrid or full electric vehicles so in my opinion I would say the 2.0 or 4xe will be the base model engines going forward for the wranglers platformOk, so what is the latest???

What a shakedown racket...and of course those punishing levies will circle back to the consumer in the form of ever-increasing window sticker prices. Lord knows the Wrangler doesn't require any assistance in that metric, either.Didn't they just get fined $235 million for not meeting CAFE standards? https://jalopnik.com/stellantis-and-gm-must-pay-363-million-for-not-hitting-1850500401
thatās what GM engineers told the executives about big blocks in the F and X body both. Until they went to Yenkos dealership and they had a big block in a nova.I was talking to one of the Jeep Jamboree trail guides tonight in prep for this weekend's Rubicon Trail run. He's been talking to Jeep engineers about the Hurricane and says that it just won't fit. It needs about two more inches, so we won't see it until the Wrangler iteration after the JL.

The 392 is two cylinders shorter.Call me old, but I remember when they said you couldnāt fit a big block into an A-body Dodge. A dealer did it, and then drove it to Detroit to show the engineers it could be done.
If they can squeeze a 392 into a JL, I have a hard time believing that they couldnāt squeeze the Hurricane in there too.
IMHO, I think it was a bean counter decision to wait until the JM due to cost.
