Actually have found a Moab 392 at the dealer we got our Glad from marked down to 78 on the website, might actually get out of this thing sooner than later.

I was just on the Jeep website to look up gas mileage on the Moab 392.

“Not available”

It’s listed for the other Wranglers.

I used to get 20 avg mpg on my 2017 F150 FX4 SuperCrew 5.0

gearing?

Here you go.

Here you go.

thanks. my ‘25 JT Rubicon says 17 and 22, avg 19, but it’s more like 16 actual for me.

so I guess I could expect around 12 with a 392

For reference, I pulled up my sticker and did a screen shot of my fuel estimates. Pretty much accurate.

I have heard people on U tube mention that the MPG with the 392 is very low. Lower with 37s. It starts to limit the range.

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

If I had any reasonable place to store a utility trailer, I’d sell my Gladiator for a JLU or low mileage clean WK2. It’s especially frustrating because we have an acre and a 3 car garage, but also have too many cars. I’m down to six and they all are staying. Lol

I really liked the WK2 I drove a few years ago. Almost replaced my JK with one.

But I'm pushing the ole lady to replace her 20 year old van with a Durango when the time comes, which is basically the same thing shaped different.

Wife hates the Moab, hates the Wrangler, and doesn't care that her Gladiator is slow AF lol.

Guess that's that.

My lame 3.6 with 37s and 4.88s gets me going just fine. A big V8 would just get me in trouble.

To this point, it's not often I get into my SS Camaro and not touch uh, back road Mexico speeds once on a drive.

It's probably best that my Gladiator is anemic

740 rwhp,

560 rwhp

I'm aware of what fast is, and that Moab 392 ain't...

It is capable of holding gear uphill while pulling a modest load, but like I said, wife doesn't care, so she can drive it at 60 mph in the slow lane at 4000 rpm.

I'll see her when she gets to the campground

My fastest car is two liter.
