  • I review the awesome Jeep Wrangler 392 and experience how the V8 transforms the Wrangler experience. With an epic-sounding engine, and comical amounts of power for a Wrangler, the 392 feels like a budget Mercedes G-Wagon but with even more fun thanks to the raw driving experience you get in the Wrangler. Add to that the best off-road capability of the Wrangler lineup and its cooler looks, and you get a vehicle that's truly in a class of its own. Yes it's $75,000, but with the strong Wrangler resale values and highly collectible nature of this 392 version, anyone that buys one of these probably won't lose much money if they ever want to sell it. Overall, it's easily my favorite Jeep ever made. What do you think of this V8 Wrangler? Thanks to Jeep for providing this Wrangler 392 to review!

    I was a JEEP fan years ago but not this style. Your review gave me some new ideas and for those wanting a truck and a wrangler in the family, this appears to be a great option. On the old Cherokee sadly mechanical issues turned me away. I’m still considering a Bronco but the Wrangler review shows us that it is definitely a big contender in the market.

    I have sat in plenty of Wranglers in my previous job and the seating position and lack of adjustment gets to me, but they seem to make up for it with all kinds of fun tricks. Probably the most fun way to get a convertible type vehicle.
    Always enjoy your trademark acceleration reaction and it definitely sounds good. Hopefully they will put the 392 in the Gladiator. I wonder how much it tows?

      It’ll for sure be around 90k to 100k but definitely will shit on a amg g wagon for half the price

    Nice review. Those cheaper 392 never came to fruition they have only gotten pricier. Can’t get one for under 80 now.

      That won't be long lol. People are buying dodge products at these price's lol. We all know Chrysler and dodge make garbage c'mon. A ten speed bike last longer. Nothing they make gets 100k miles. 4 of my stupid family got tricked challenger, charger, and 300 they have 60 engines but none last and all the interior fall apart. V8 4 runner, v8 landcruiser, will go off road and anywhere else better and longer than this.

      @@kevhun1 there are a lot of Jeep’s out on the road in case you haven’t noticed. I’m sure they do just fine. Sure some probably have problems. But that’s any auto maker now days. Not only that, the wrangler and that line of Jeep’s hold value like tacomas...not sure why? But they do

    This is amazing. I like the defender V8 power plant more, but no removable doors and cheaper would have me going this route!
