So,....

What was the MSRP on this V8 Wrangler again?

And how does it stop the hemorrhaging of +$41,000 Rubicon sales to +$38,000 Base Sasquatch?
Let alone the upcoming $36,000 Mansquatch?

FIFY. Hellcat is 6.2 and supercharger.

I know, it was a broad generalization. Hellcat Durango, Charger, Challenger, Trackhawk etc

 

[danzy55]

gotta love a V8 outta my price range. Having more options is better than fewer. Just wish Ford would stop with the pre-production hotel parking lot tours and start building...talk about an extended new vehicle launch.....

Man, that was painful. He performed about as well as that SFA did on the washboards.

I'm confused. Are you saying the 392 will useless because it's too heavy? Curb weight on a 4-door Badlands is estimated to be 5,000-5,200 lbs. A 4-door Rubicon is 4,500 lbs.
For all the people on here wanting a V8 in their Bronco, will doing that make it useless off road?

Not curb weight.... GVWR. It's about how much more weight you can add-on.
And compare the Pentastar V6 with stick with diesel and auto...
Definitely throwing a V8 in there is gonna make it even heavier meaning you can haul less. That was my point

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.

I have a 2003 TJ Wrangler and it is a blast. Stone simple, manual tranny, two doors, etc. However, I am getting a Bronco, not to replace it but to augment it and because it is the coolest vehicle to come out in decades.

I gotta give Jeep credit (and yeah I can't stand Jeep). They were smart with this one. Reveal a few weeks before Bronco ordering opens up. Give the customer the V8 that most of us wish we had. Talk about availability in 1st quarter of next year, while Ford drags their asses to production.

So yeah, great/smart move on Jeeps part. My only hope is Ford pays attention and gets us the V8 we want... and to 1 up Jeep, throw it in EVERY TRIM.

They needed to give a price before Bronco ordering starts. They didn't.

I’m heading to Granger to get my new Jeep! Just kidding- yes I am still heading to Granger but I am still bronco all the way.

Amen brother. It is time for some professionally done stuff from FORD. No offense to the many folks who have filled the void with some great pics, vids, and intel.

But then again, hey Albert @Granger Ford what kind of special pricing will you have on the Wrangler 392?

(For those that don't know, Albert is also a Jeep dealer)

I will 2nd and 3rd those motions.
For a reveal that WAS scheduled for March, here we are 8 months later with the same crap. Lack of good photos and lack of better information. Pretty piss poor if you ask me.

 

[Bronco4lyfe85]

Wow that’s 5 pages of hate. Little confused by all the comments about reliability, it’s not like Ford is a world beater when it comes to car reliability.

Either way 392> 2.7L V6

Psst...

Sorry, Ford Marketing is a one trick pony, look at what they are doing to the new upcoming Maverick pickup. They are using the identical pixilated interior image leaks method they started us on for the Bronco last winter...
