392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

[Jrgunn5150]

So nothing changed almost correct ?? Am I ready that correct.

5.7 Jobs Per Day bumped up by 20 units or so.

There is no news about any new engine availability in any new chassis.

It looks like the new 2.0L EVO is definitely ramping up. I wonder if that will be migrated into the JL/JT platform.

To me it makes sense to slide it into the LB chassis to get costs down.

Fleets and volume were what moved Chargers before, not Scatpacks on TikToks doing donuts in intersections.

But, I've heard nothing about that either.

If I want a Jeep with a V8 the Wrangler will have to do.

That's what I did.

That's what I did.

Which do you like better the gladiator or wrangler.

That's a tough question honestly, I loved my Glady and the setup, so much room for camping/overlanding even rock crawling the truck was so capable. But every time I start up my 392 and/or hit the gas it brings a smile to my face. The 392 is way more fun to drive and once I get it set up the way I want it'll be sweet!!

If I could do without a truck bed (or could deal with the lower towing capacity) I'd be thinking long and hard about the Willys 392.

But, I need the bed, and I really want the 'comfort' with 5,000 pounds behind it on occasion - so Gladiator it is

Truck bed is a must for me. The whole reason I am even in a Jeep to begin with is I wanted a naturally aspirated V-6(at least) in a small truck and Nissan was the only other alternative. When I test drove a Frontier some years ago the seats were so narrow that the bolsters pinched my rib cage (I’m a biggish human).

So JT it is for me too. I would love to have a V-8 in it.

Awesome, understood completely. I have a duramax for all my towing needs.

We only have a Gladiator because it rides nicer, if a Willy's 392 had been a thing 2 years ago, I'd probably own one.

Still crossing fingers for the Sport S 392 to get it down another 10k lol.

Maybe a Sport S 345.
I found the window sticker for my 1997 Dakota Sport Club Cab the 5.2L was a $589 option. lol

Why not have both??? We do!!! Both are Rubicon Diesels. I love them both, but if I had to get rid of one, it would probably be the Wrangler. The Gladiator rides a bit better on longer trips. Plus, I like having the bed for wet, dirty, nasty stuff when needed. The Wrangler with the extra trunk space is nice, but I have a DiamondBack tonneau cover that gives me secure dry storage with the Gladiator.

The fact that there's not a Mojave 392 is comical. The purpose of the Mojave deserves a V8.

My 3.6 Gerbil I mean V6 works it's ass off in the desert..... a V8 would make it perfect. Never needed a V8 ' rock crawling '. lmfao that the Rubicon Wrangler trim is where Jeep thinks a V8 is needed. Mall crawlers.

The Mojave is built to handle while hauling ass in the desert..... nah we don't think people want the 392 there.

Make it make sense.

Crazy engine games and packages....

CAFE drove most of it.

Same as it drove the ever increasing footprint sizes.
