I hope they wait like 4 to 5 years on this because I would love to buy a 392 gladiator too eventually hahaha ?

I owned a gladiator rubicon prior to this 392 wrangler and I actually enjoyed having a truck bed more than the cargo area on a wrangler!

What are everyone else's thoughts on this?

Problem is I don't think big V8's in production vehicles will be around much longer. They will probably be dying out sooner than later due to up coming government regs. May not be a factory option in 4-5 years.

Used market maybe or I need to convince a friend or someone to buy one for me to buy off them in the future hahaha any takers?

Obviously it is hard to predict what the future will bring. Electric vehicles are coming, but maybe not be as fast as some think/hope/fear. It will be a slow transition, not an instant switch. Gas vehicles will be around for a long time. New gas vehicles are soon to be an endangered species, but there are millions of gas vehicles on the road. They will not be obsoleted over night. I have no inside information, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the 392 will be with us throughout the JL run (another 5 years or so). I doubt a 392 will be available after that.

Some day, we will look back at this time period and say: Why were we so resistant to electric vehicles? They have instant torque, they are less complicated, and they have crazy 0-60 times.

If they kill off the 392 before the end of the JL, then you'll have to look to the used Jeep market, but by then, you may not want a 392, you may want that crazy fast, torque-monster electric Jeep.

For now, I would love to have a 392!

Interestingly, my sales guy told me a couple of months ago that his parts manager was searching for a Gladiator part in their system and stumbled across an ‘engine code’ for a 392 Gladiator.

He said that lead them to believe it’s possibly coming sooner than later. But, he also said they have no idea-

Hopefully it's a 2025 or later jeep gladiator Mojave 392 launch edition, I would love that for driving on beaches or sand/desert terrain and then keep my wrangler rubicon 392 for rock crawling terrain, like the best of both worlds there! V8 in a desert runner truck! Whoa

Agreed on having a truck. Hope they make the 392 gladiator as well though I love LOVE my diesel. But I miss having a four door’s departure angle.
