Live Reveal: Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392

[2Jeeps&PatriotX1]

At the end of the day, it's still a Fiat.

Funny thing is...my wife’s fiat grand cherokee hits more moderate to difficult offroad trails than 95% of the future broncos will ever see. She’s on her 2nd GC now and between the 2 of them 80k miles with the only 2 issues being a blown turbo cooler line and the navigation unit freezing. My ‘17 f150 had 18 items on its list the last time it went to the dealership.

i also own one of the last true wrangler before they converted into minivan motors and soccer mom shuttles.

I don't know, great for mud racing I guess, they will probably sell 4 maybe 6 ?

Surprised they didn't just say the hell with it and put the Hellcat engine in it. Cool for Jeep that they are putting a V-8 in the wrangler. Still have 0 desire for a Wrangler

To those casting the stones about instability, don't forget the last SUV that Ford made using a Ranger frame, 2.3 L4 and 2.8 V6 (sound similar to the 2021 Bronco?) called the Bronco 2 had a rather notorious history of rolling and killing people at a higher percentage then just about anything else, even more than the 4 door replacement version known as the Explorer. Maybe give the tribalism a rest and see how it plays out? It can only be good from a competition standpoint for the consumer

Stability index and death wobble are quite different things. Not sure the current Ranger/Bronco design has any relevance, but I get the desire to stop taking shots at Jeep's challenges.

Getting a Bronco. I dont like the way Jeep looks and i did not like the ride.....i can go and whine, i stayed away from jeep from years and will stay away.

Going with Bronco.

Oh look... Half Doors!

Also with the numbers that companies like 5-Star Tuning are getting out of the 2.7 EcoBoost is it really worth the price considering the potential negatives. If I want more power (babeh) then I'll the Bronco tuned and still have a better on road and off-road all around ride and drive.... Oh and a better looking rig overall.

Man, a lot of hate for Jeep in this thread. My YJ was the most fun vehicle I have ever owned, though it was also the least reliable and the most unpleasant to drive. I plan to test drive a Wrangler or two just to see where they are now.

To be honest, I am more impressed with the 4xE than I am with the 392. I am always of the opinion that V-8s are more for showing off than they are for practical usage, though I do really appreciate the water-fording tech they put in.

Truly Great,
Making a great platform of Competition for Ford, to help get them off the couch!
And provide us with what they've visually offered in the last 5 months!! No Holding Back!!
Multiple Color Interiors available for all - across the board!, Painted Exterior parts & Accessories Tops, Mirrors, fender flairs, Donut Doors Etc.... More Optioned Part as advertised on B&P, the list is long..

Or do nothing and watch Jeep satisfy the over whelming apatite of the Ford Reservation process.. Watch them Vaporize

Clearly this project by Ford is leaving food on the table for others in competition to eat.

I am more interested the plug in 4xe (which still also has an ICE engine). I would love to have low end torque once in a while and the ability to store the power in that battery to power a fridge, lights, etc when I am not driving. Seems like a perfect solution for Jeeps/Broncos.

i could see myself cross shopping this is i was in the market for a wildtrak. but im too cheap (smart?? finally??) to spend that kind of money anymore, im way more excited for my 2dr BaseManSquatch at half the price lol

 

[MannyG20]

But does it have a 7 speed manual transmission?

But does it have a navy pier interior??

We are gunna spill the tea... Ford nor Jeep had the first V8. Cadillac did! I tell you what tho when I watched Ford Vs Ferrari I was glued to the TV. Racing they def got some cool things going on! I def see Ford doing something cool. Shelby didn't fight for the right for going fast and winning races for nothing! I'm can't wait to see how the Bronco R does in the Baja 1000 this year too! As for Jeep I love the funky exterior colors, I love they can customize, I love the aftermarket following. It's all in healthy fun this is going to get us way cool vehicles in the future! I think the years to come are looking bright!
