The v8 jeeps will sell like crazy. People have been asking for those for years and there is lots of people with money that just dont care. I have a feeling that between the Broncos and the New jeeps we will see lots of jks and jls taking a hit on value.

Look at it this way, Jeep comes out with a V8 Rubicon starting at $60k, with more hp than you could ever use or even want in a Jeep.

Two years from now, Ford drops the baby godzilla (6.8L) in EVERY trim level (even @ $10k price tag, it's probably worth it). But they worry more about torque than they do hp. Maybe even provide a stiffer suspension (for towing capability) and in turn hit MORE of the market than Jeep gets from a V8 Wrangler that people are going to flip more than those Mustang coffee shop idiots.

So I say, let Jeep force Ford's hand on this. And let's hope Ford is smart enough to turn a V8 Bronco into something that appeals to the masses!

I reckon there’s zero chance the 392 will be available with a stick, so there’s zero chance I have to justify paying for the damned thing.
We will see tues at noon! Im kinda excited

Why would you want a slow ass 5.7 in a Jeep? No thanks. Also, uh you’re comparing a V6 to a 392 V8. You’re not just getting the engine, you’re getting suspension and many other upgrades for that price.
And hopefully 10 more airbags?

and they even had room to add an ARB air compressor next to the BIG V8.
Anybody see the spark plugs ?

Boooooooo. It has a 2” lift on fox shocks but still has 33” tires. Auto 8 speed only.

video shows 35” tires but TFL said 33” tires. Wonder if they made a mistake?
