Neighbor just bought a 392 wrangler

[Squatch]

Fair criticism. My camera on my I-phone stopped working due to a hardware failure so I couldn’t grab. Picture.

I am sure Zach from Granger can vouch that it is real since he sold it to me neighbor.

Speaking of vehicle manufacturers catering to the allegedly toxic masculinity, I saw a TRX in its natural habitat, the mall. It looked like an updated version of the truck in Back to the Future and navigated the parking garage as well as the Tesla in front of it. So, kudos, RAM!

So, does it seem like a V8 swapped Jeep Wrangler or something more?

How will the ford explorer 10r60 trans hold up to that extra hp after the 2.7 tune?

It won't. Just another of the many ways Ford has found to screw us.

it feels and looks like a regular rubicon with different wheels and hood. when you start it up, the exhaust note barks to let you know it is something more but not radically new or different.

The 3.92 claims 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. The Bronco is not doing that.

Then again 0-60 times are not a selling point for most outdoor adventure rigs.

I have a rubicon today and am still going to do a bronco

Fair point, but I suspect the Bronco will at least keep up a lot better than most people expect. At the tire, the Bronco and the 392 wrangler still put the same max torque, and without launch control, I suspect that in real life they’ll be significantly closer than expected until you hit high speeds

Unfortunately, they have not been running this "powertrain for a few years". The 10R60 transmission was new for 2020 in the Explorer and has been experiencing a lot of problems.

If you are going to go by internet reported problems, you would never buy a Jeep I have read through some of the issues and several of the reports are rental companies or other one off issues. Not that it doesn’t have issues, I just wouldn’t qualify the current information as definitive, for me at least. Lots of people don’t like the 2.710sp in the F150. I have had two and had solid performance and experience.

Since the Ford 10 speeds are supposed to learn driver behavior, it has to be brutal for a rental.

I will say Jeep probably read this forum to figure out that decibels will sell Jeeps and they added a switch to prove it
The reviews I’ve seen seem to say something Like “ it’s ridiculously overpowered and terribly overpriced, but it sounds awesome!!”

Seems to work fine in a Tuned Explorer ST. Getting over 500hp

And that tuned explorer ST runs 35” tires?

And with no Bronco , Jeep would not have made the 392 wrangler.

That is a cool jeep. I am sure the v8 jeep will push ford to do something better them selfs.
