Great review! Thank you! Helped me make a decision to buy one. It’s on order and I’m looking forward to smiling and laughing behind the wheel as much as the reviewer did. Thank you again. Well done!
@@papag5433 my point was how a na v8 wrangler costs more than a supercharged more powerful v8 truck. Both aren't cheap but it's interesting how the less powerful wrangler costs more than the trx
14 MPG. IMPRESSIVE!! I was actually expecting way less than that lol. But I got the best Jeep in the world!! 2015 Renegade trailhawk!! You know why!? It will be paid for in a month 🙏!!
They most likely won't, the dealer markups sometimes brings the prices to over 90k or sometimes even 100k! Meaning yes, this Jeep can be more expensive then a almost Ram TRX with most options! and even more surprising, the TRX starts at 70k, this Jeep starts at 75k.
Thanks to your video five almost six months ago I placed my order on a 392XR. Now the time is finally arriving it’s getting loaded on a train and on its way. Loved your video and the details you put into it. So thanks for that think I’m gonna love it for many years to come.
Of all the Wranglers, if I had the money, the 392 would be my go to. If I had less money but still needed a Rubicon, I'd get the 4XE. Those are the two most interesting powertrains Jeep has right now, save the Hellcat, of course. :P
My first car in high school was a 1976 CJ5 with a 5.0 V8 and 3 speed manual. So many good times and topless chicks. Lucky I didn’t kill myself or someone else too.
Those were the best of times. The music from that era made everything even better. The things we got away with back then would never be tolerated today.
I have the 392 Scatpack and it is an amazing motor. Until these dealerships quit charging 20g over list I won’t be buying one. When I find one for list I will buy it. Might be awhile considering they can’t keep them on the lot.
If you want to be more incognito and have a blast, this is it. If you want the neighbors and friends all to know you have the latest thing, see 2021/22 Bronco. For me, nothing beats the V8. My Promaster van is already jealous. I put a 6.4 Scatpack emblem on the back of it - confuses many hahaha :)
@@CactusJack252 I demo’d a gladiator rubicon this last weekend. Dealer let me take it home for 2 days. Terribly under powered with the V6. At highway speeds it struggled to stay in 8th gear. With just me, no cargo or passengers. I took it back & said no.
@@joebartlett3255 that’s laughable. Mine easily stays in 8th gear and easily can pass and accelerate. Most of the time it keeps the RPM under 2,500 rpm. 8th gear @ 70mph = 2k rpm. Easily will do 90+ mph climbing mountain passes. It’s not a sports car and actually has a slightly better power:weight ratio than a 2500 diesel pickup.
@@joebartlett3255 that’s a joke. That engine can’t power my mother in laws scooter. Pentastar easily cruises under 2k rpm in 8th gear. My brother in laws YJ can’t even do 70mph sustained without overheating and has way less torque at the wheels.
LOVE THE 392 HOLY SH%$ it is sooooo damn killer!!!!! Carlos keep up the good work sir. Very informative and cool for us who love all the details about these vehicles design. Also, I learned a new term, “Hate Watching” I never knew that was a thing. But with all the trolls I see on CZcams it makes a lot of sense. I guess people cannot be happy and needed more attention from mommy and daddy growing up. It’s a shame. I feel sorry for them. No hate here bro. More like envy. Keep up the awesome work fella!!!
there were v8 jeeps on the cj jeeps back in the day. it wasnt meant to be a racing jeep. its about having the power even if you dont need it. the sound, the feel, and then knowing its there if you ever need it. to drive a jeep wrangler fast is missing the point
I can pick up a diesel Rubicon - only 270hp, but 440 lb-ft of torque at 1400rpms - for 25k less. Seems like that would be more valuable to someone who actually off-roads. The 392 feels like something people will buy and try not to get scratched. But... to each his own.
Diesel torque requires a fully spooled turbo, so it typically has less torque and taller gearing than the pentastar. You can supercharge the Penta to 440hp easily though for $7k.
@@KTMcaptain I don't understand. I'm not an expert by any means, but if the torque curve reads 440@1400, that's what it reads. What difference would the spool time of the turbo make?
@@jackcasse It’s harder to modulate torque when it lags and you have to stay on throttle to keep torque up. Also, diesels have taller gearing so they transfer less torque to the wheels. You can literally lose momentum waiting on the turbo boost trying to get over an obstacle.
I’m more excited about this than the TRX or any other insane hellcat powered vehicle. There really isn’t a competitor to this. Maybe Toyota will give us a V8 4Runner without a Lexus badge? Or a turbo V6?
Edmund obviously hasn't watch any other videos on CZcams because the aftermarket scene has been doing hemi swapps for years and asking for a stock V8 option
A V8 Hemi Wrangler, what more could a Jeep fan want... aside from a cheaper price that anyone could afford and not sell a Kidney. Regardless, 2 4dr fast 392 Wrangler in that color gets your heart beating faster. If it doesn't call a local undertaker, you may well be dead!
Carlos obviously the 392 is silly fun in this thing. But I can’t help but think that the 5.7 might have been a more practical idea. You would get better fuel economy and could slot it in between price wise while still having a very quick jeep with v8 sound. Did they explain to you at all why they choose to go straight to the 6.4. At a 30k premium that might be a hard stretch?
I agree about the price should probably be more like 50-60k price range to me but all Jeep's are a little overpriced. The 6.4 and 5.7 are actually pretty close efficiency wise during normal driving though. If you look at a charger for example the 5.7 is only rated 1 mpg better than a Scatpack.
@@jizzyjake6783 the larger point is that the 5.7 as a hypothetical 7500 to 10000 dollar option on a rubicon could be the Jeep’s version of the scat pack engine upgrade. You could get 90% of the experience at a much cheaper price with the added bonus of minor fuel efficiency.
@@mvp1431 yeah it would be a nice option but I think they just had a certain price target as a high end model and the 6.4l could justify it more than the 5.7. I've never really been into Jeep's but if they offered this in a trim for 50-60k I would be intrigued.
Because the hellcat is too much and the 5.7 is too little. At this price range it has to be exciting. A 5.7 would be fun but nobody would pay around 70k for one in a jeep. A hellcat would destroy the stock drivetrain components. 392 is the sweet spot.
But why is it so Over Priced? Starting price over $75,000. You can get the same awesome 6.4 Hemi motor in a brand new Challenger Scat Pack or in a Charger starting at $40,000 ($35,000 Less)
He did say “most” full size. The 6.4 is in the 2500 Ram, the 7.3 / 6.0 (isn’t the 6.6 a diesel?) aren’t in trucks that are the big sellers. Ford sells more 5.0 and Chevy 5.3, trucks than their larger counterparts. That said, I thought the same thing :).
That is a great engine but I rather have it in a Grand Cherokee than Wrangler. No one takes over 70k vehicle off-road. And on road, driving dynamics of Wrangler don’t lend themselves to a grey energine. I take my Wrangler with slow and reliable Pentastar V6.
The point isn't to be able to take it offroad. The point is to say you have a wrangler that can gap V6 mustangs. Since when was the pentastar reliable? This engine is better than the pentastar in literally every single way.
$75,000+. I'm glad you enjoyed it. By the way. Are you buying one? If not. Why since you seem to think having a Hemi makes it the best off-roader ever. High horsepower is for Baja trucks. Not rock climbing or a small family vehicle. If I'm going to spend that amount. I want luxury. Maybe an Aviator. You mentioned refined while saying it not comfortable. And you get both for $75,000+.
haha v8 jeep go brrrr
This is not the comment I expected, but absolutely the comment I needed 😂
I've had my 392 for a month, I've put over 2,500 miles on it, and I'm averaging 15.72 mpg (mostly highway miles). I love it!
Can’t seem to find a dealership in my area that sells them.
@@celgrl28 I believe they're hard to get now due to parts shortages for many brands. I ordered mine last November.
I had the v6 and averaged 13mpg 😅
Luckyyy!!!! Glad you like it my guy.
Not much worse them my turbo 4cyl
Or maybe talk to someone who cares 🤷🏻♂️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is why I like Carlos
Best sounding Jeep ever. The sound track alone….
Love these review videos. Keep up the great work Carlos and the Edmunds crew!
Great review! Thank you! Helped me make a decision to buy one. It’s on order and I’m looking forward to smiling and laughing behind the wheel as much as the reviewer did. Thank you again. Well done!
What do you do for a wage?
Get it! I'm ordering one too
It's crazy how the base price of thus 392 wrangler costs more than the base price of a supercharged ram trx
The base price of the TRX is over 70g. The Jeep 392 is 74g almost 75 base price. It’s not cheap being a jeeper
@@papag5433 my point was how a na v8 wrangler costs more than a supercharged more powerful v8 truck. Both aren't cheap but it's interesting how the less powerful wrangler costs more than the trx
My 2020 Rubicon JLU fully loaded cost me $60k, would I pay another $13k for this V8, ABSOLUTELY!
So the Marketing of Jeep did a good job.
I just did! Mine is on order!!
This is how the wrangler is supposed to be
14 MPG. IMPRESSIVE!! I was actually expecting way less than that lol. But I got the best Jeep in the world!! 2015 Renegade trailhawk!! You know why!? It will be paid for in a month 🙏!!
Based on how many comments about "I wish it had a v8" the Jeep has ever generated.
They should be selling 10 million a year.
They most likely won't, the dealer markups sometimes brings the prices to over 90k or sometimes even 100k! Meaning yes, this Jeep can be more expensive then a almost Ram TRX with most options! and even more surprising, the TRX starts at 70k, this Jeep starts at 75k.
Extraordinary Review 👌.
I’d rather have one of those then a g wagon or a Diesel or anything. I wonder if jeep will put this engine in the gladiator next
If it does well they most definitely will. Just look at Dodge, they've put a hell cat in just about everything at this point 😆
Amazingly crazy fun vehicle I love old school large displacement N/A V8 Topnotch video review
Probably the most fun and capable vehicle on the planet

Amazing Rubicon
Not the first jeep with a V8 by any means but definitely a take on the big brothers of the past
Been seeing gladiator Mojave editions around my area and I would love to see a Mojave with a 392
My first car in high school was a 1976 CJ5 with a 5.0 V8 and 3 speed manual. So many good times and topless chicks. Lucky I didn’t kill myself or someone else too.

I would love to own one of those today! These were the best!
2 door version is a demand 🔥👌🏼
Specially with a manual
Nope, otherwise they’d make it.
4 spd 2 door would be 🔥
God bless the 392!
Now there's a vehicle that looks practical. Just look at it go through that sand! 😀😀😀
Finally a jeep with the right engine 😍 who needs a G wagon.

Filling the void as much as the gas tank
I was surprised by 0-60 time. Great episode. Thanks!
It’s the Jeep we deserve.
Now this is the Jeep to get....
it’s what the jeep has always needed-power. id trade my jku for one if i could afford the payments
Now just give us a 5.7L Gladiator/Wrangler, 75hp and 60 lb-ft less would still be plenty.
I won't even look at the Gladiator until it gets a HEMI. The 0-60 time in the 8 second range is laughable.

6:44, no way that sway bar is disconnected.
Carlos could be a stunt double for Ryan Reynolds!
Why didn't they put a 5.7 Hemi V8 like they put in several other Jeep vehicles? Would have made more sense all around.
Great review, kudos!!
So what is the towing capacity?
Tazer JL mini can defeat the AWD and give line lock for burn outs.
