The best turbo I6s don’t burn gas. Lol

I still have 1 v8 out in my garage.

I do and I wish everyday that they had V8s under their hoods. Lol They have more power then most V8s , but lack the soul and feel of a v8. ‘I have even tried to find specialty shops like there are for the Jeeps to try and see what it would cost to drop a 5.0 v8 in one of them. Lol Doesn’t...

They just need to add one more little bullet point to that list and I am in. Being it needs a 392 Hemi V8 added to that list of contents. LOL

The V8 rumblings is what gives a lot of vehicles their soul. Without that incredible V8 sound rumbling under the hood, I just never get that same feeling or enjoyment out of a little turbo 4 or 6 banger under the hood. I could care less about the screaming little small displacement 4 banger...

Was thinking the exact same thing. I know I for one have 0 interest in it without a V8 under the hood.

Time will tell, if all it has is that Hurricane 4 banger in it, my interest would be gone as far as wanting to own one. It used to be speculated that the new Dakota and the Gladiator would be built on the same line on the same chassis. Which given that the Gladiator is due for refresh soon, I...

I don't think it is really known what the new North American Dakota is going to look like. Most of the pics I have seen are either AI generated as a guess, or a global market version that is not ever coming to the US the market. I do hope that it looks a lot more like its big brother then what...

I doubt I ever tow much of anything with it, I still want it to be a 392 V8, just because I want it that way. LOL .

Based on the redacted clues about the Jan 2026 Duck drop, there is no chance of confirmation of V8 Gladiator till Feb 12th 2026 at the earliest. The Jan 2026 Duck clearly seems to be another Wrangler package of some sort. Now that I spotted these Ducks, they seem to be spelling out more clues...

Well there is always next year. Bummed no 392 option . :( Was looking forwarded to ordering a 392 Gladiator.

Saw this cool video comparing a custom swapped 392 Gladiator and factory 392 Wrangler. Both are lifted and lots of custom off-road goodies, man those 392s sound oh so sweet.

Exactly!

Yea, I am not really even a fan of the fact the Gladiators doors and roof are removable, just makes the cabins noisy. I never had the Roof or doors off any of the Jeeps, or the Bronco that I have owned. I would honestly be more interested in a 392 TRX style Dakota then a 392 Gladiator, but...

Tow rating on smaller tuck like this would really make very little sales difference. I really do not see tow ratings on trucks like this really mattering to a lot of people. There is a lot of trucks sold in this country that never tow anything.

I suppose they could and maybe should rate it a bit more conservatively then 7k. I know I would not want to tow 7K with a mid-size trucks regardless what motor is in it. 5K is probably more than max that I would ever want behind a mid-size truck. My Ranger Raptors are mid sizers with plenty...

Oh, I am aware there is a lot of regulatory hoops and hurdles they have to jump through. Which they showed just how fast they can jump through those hoops when it took what 6 months to get a Hemi back into the RAM. As far as Cali goes, I am not in Cali nor care past what the libtards out there...

If there is multiple companies that have been Hemi swapping the Gladiator for years. Apparently with any hemi you want. Why is going to take over year and half for Jeep to get it done and on the market? Especially with the Wrangler already having done most of the groundwork with the 392...

I am going way out on limb here and post something I saw that is, wait for it, wait for it. Almost related to the topic of this thread. LOL :LOL: :CWL::rock:

LOL Any chance this thread ever gets back on topic. LOL Being it is about the V8 Gladiator. I get alerts multiple times a day with nothing at all being posted about the Hemi v8 going into a Gladiator. They can keep them 4 bangers, hybrids all that crap. I am only interested in Gladiator if...
