Jeep confirmed that 6.4-liter HEMI V8 The 392 remains in the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon “indefinitely.” What’s more, new Jeep boss Bob Broderdorf has hinted that HEMI power will be used in other Jeeps as well. "The 6.4‑liter Hemi V‑8 will have a home at Jeep," he said – so no swan song, just more bass lines.

Numbers that don't make excuses

Under the hood: 470 hp (351 kW) and 470 lb‑ft (637 Nm). Acceleration 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 4.5 s and quarter mile in 13.0 s. Top speed? 109 mph (175 km/h) – limited because 35-inch balloons are not intended for the Autobahn.

The V8 Wrangler can still breathe underwater: 34.5 inches (0.876 m) wading and 11.6 inches (29.5 cm) ground clearance. Front suspension as standard Warn winch with load capacity 8,000 lb (3.63 t). This is not a lifestyle accessory; it is "Save the day" button.

For a sense of mass: empty weight ~5,268 lb (2,390 kg), towing to 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg). Big, tall, straight-edge like a box of army boots – and that's the point.

Rubicon, like a Swiss army knife on 35-inch tires

Selec‑Trac two-stage distributor, permanent 4×4, Day 44 wide-gauge axles with electronic locks Tru-Lok, electronic front stabilizer disconnection, half-inch lift and factory set Xtreme 35: 35-inch BFGoodrich and bronze beadlock-capable rims. On rock, mud or Utah red sand – the 392 feels right at home.

A small note about the standard equipment of the “Final Edition”: Mopar triple-loop and 83-piece tool set The 2024 vintage exclusives remain; 2025 brings practically everything else. Thank you, diligent collectors of details.

Cabin: a digital dinosaur that knows TikTok

The 2024 model year refresh has fixed the Wrangler 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 display, new airbags and comfort features – and the 392 packs it all in with Nappa upholstery and bronze accents. That's it: doors down, roof down, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto up. Retro frame, modern soul.

“Gladiator 392?” That’s cooking too

If the Wrangler 392 is a constant, it is Gladiator 392 logical next chapter. Broderdorf confirmed that the pickup is getting a HEMI. In other words: a crib in the back, a V8 in the front, smiles everywhere. Marketing says: signed, stamped, promised.

V8 and ions: Stellantis' double melody

Jeep is also building an electric future. Wagoneer S is a premium EV with up to 600 hp (447 kW) and official reach 294 miles (473 km)No gas, lots of momentum – and an ironically nice addition to the 392: silence or thunder, choose your mood. This is the present of motoring.

Prices and availability

If you search for the keywords “how much,” the answer is in the “bold six-figure” range in dollars. 2025 Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition is estimated by most guides around $100,000-$102,000 MSRP (without destination); the differences between sources are a few hundred dollars here and there. Prices for 2026 Jeep has not yet revealed it. He who waits, waits for thunder.

The broader context: the HEMI renaissance

In Stellantis' orchestra, V8 music returns even more broadly. Ram 1500 officially announced return of the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 for the 2026 model year – customer pressure works wonders. This is also a signal that “old school” will be part of the school curriculum for some time to come.

Conclusion: Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392

Wrangler The 392 is an automotive paradox that works. On paper, it's a 35-inch cube that can reach 175 km/h (109 mph) and hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds – and this with a chassis that still has the roof and doors removedIn practice, it's a memory machine: sound, smell, wind, a little petrol in the veins and a lot of confidence behind the wheel. While Wagoneer S smooth electric future, 392 holds the torch of mechanical primal scream. And it’s this duality that makes Jeep interesting: a brand that’s grown up enough to talk about kilowatts, and rebellious enough to still say “you’re home” to V8s. If you’re excited by options, this decision means exactly that: more music for more ears – on the road, in the desert, or in the parking lot of your favorite coffee shop.
