Test drive: The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is a V8-powered king of the hill
Fox News
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is the first V8-powered Wrangler and the most expensive. The off-road SUV starts at $74,995.
It borrows its 392 cubic-inch engine from the Dodge Challenger RT Scat Pack, Grand Cherokee SRT, etc., and sends 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque to all four of the Wrangler’s wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission as it screams through a dual-mode exhaust that allows drivers to crank up the volume. The Wrangler performs just fine with its selection of V6 and turbocharged four-cylinder engines, but plenty of customers have been swapping in their own monster motors, so Jeep decided to get in on the fun and throw in a warranty. Unlike the street-focused Grand Cherokee SRT, Jeep decided to pair it with the Wrangler’s most off-road capable Rubicon trim. Its 10.3 inches of ground clearance is a half-inch less than Rubicons equipped with the other engines, however, and it trades the hardcore Rock-Trac 4x4 system for a Selec-Trac version that sacrifices extreme crawl ratio in favor of full-time all-wheel-drive capability.
