Gotta love those dreamers

I'd love to see maximum articulation of a well-configured Jeep (even stock, for that matter) to that of leaf springs.
And you add all of that weight and want the same front end as the JT has now - and cool that beast? Really?

Would also love to see the tow and payload rating of a V8 JT - they can't keep the diesel cool in these things, and they pretty much maxed out cooling with the 3.6 and a much heavier JT with a V8 is going to run cool with the front end of a JT?
Sure, they have the 6.4 in the JL, but what's the towing ability? If left pulling 7,000 pounds in harsh conditions, how cool could it run?

Sorry, I've had all different configurations in many different vehicles. Leaf springs with any capacity ride like shit. The Ram doesn't use leaf springs and it tows just fine.

FCA already has a fair chunk of the market with a vehicle that can tow quite well - it's called Ram truck.
The JT was never intended to compete with the full-size heavy haulers.

(BTW - I can't tell you how many leaf spring issues I've seen over the years, including sagging, squeaking, bending, axle-wrapping, busted joints and more.)

Late to the game in responses... But I only wish my JT diesel would stay cool when towing my 3k lb trailer lol darn near hit the derate temps in late winter (28f in moutian passes, doing 55). Other than that, I love my diesel. No regerts! V8 would sound cool... But meh

Great,,, that will take another 10K$ off the value of mine.

If the 392 option was $15-20k above normal price they would sell everyone that they built.
I have a long paid off 2020 with 70k miles that I am considering a $35k 392 swap on instead of buying a new one when they come out.

What about swapping to a cool 2.0 liter turbo 4 cylinder motor? How cool would that be?

Been thinking..... If the 392 hits for '26 I might just do it. I can't take it with me. Money in the bank is just a number .

I can promise two things.

1. It won't.

2. Youtubers will just keep making videos about what's coming soon and people will keep sharing them.

I have a 2021 with only 25k miles on it and was contemplating the 392 swap or a 392 Wrangler. Now that the Gladdy's gonna get a 392 I'll probably wait. Comifornia would be a nightmare to smog.

Toothless TK's Garbage says it's coming. He even boasts how he's always right.

Indeed, just look at all the 5.7 Hemi's being built in Trenton for the Charger and Gladiator right now.

Who said it was? Is there a quote stating that?
OR, speculation based on certain words being used, and assumptions made?

I'll believe it when it happens. So far, it's still like the woman believing a certain man had promised to pay her mortgage while he was talking in Florida.

If they don't do something, other than the 3.6 in the JT for 26 they won.t need to make a bunch.

Agree 100%. My comment was based on speculation on certain words being used, and assumptions made?
