392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

[Chance575]

Might be surprised what cost per mile would be if you really broke it down, fuel cost + filters + treatment + DEF.

Hmmm yeah the diesel is still way ahead due to the huge extra cost of the V8

not all diesel jeeps use def

I always sort of enjoyed the long runs that FCA/Stellantis/whoever they were had for various vehicles.

The Durango for example. The current body style has been around with just some refreshments for an eternity it seems like. I told the ole lady we should get her one when she's ready to upgrade because it checks all the boxes (simple engine, rear wheel drive, third row, comfortable), it's been well tested, and because its so old it shouldn't hold value for shit and we can probably get a good deal on a lightly used one

Well, you'll be able to enjoy it through 2030 along with the Grand lol

Towards the end of the video. Talks about M235 and Dana 50 axles. Hmmm......

He keeps talking about the Wrangler, but maybe the Gladiator will get it. Then again, I don't believe the Gladiator got the fancy floater the Wrangler got.
Maybe that new M235 will allow the 392 to be 2wd from the get go.

Drove by the plant today in Toledo and saw quite a few Rubicons with mojave style hoods sitting in their storage yard. Shouldn't be much longer now.

Really, Rubicons with Mojave style hoods, can only assume they're functional Ram Air hoods for large displacement...

JL extension to 2030 is confirmed.

I thought some 2026’s (non 392) Gladiators were showing up with the hood scoops, on models that wouldn’t typically have the scoop. I can’t remember if they were Sport S’s or Rubicons. It was discussed here a few weeks back.

Don't try to reason with these people.

They're BELIEVERS.

None of the drops have gone into production before announcement.

But they're definitely stocking up on V8 Gladiators for the INSIDERS

I found the nine page thread from December. Evidently there is/was/might be a “power dome” steel hood option that is not a scoop, that I am confusing with the scoop.

Steel power dome dual vent hood on 2026 Gladiator Rubicon.

Steel Non vented hood on 2026 Gladiator Sport

 

[Wcbev]

These were definitely vented and clearly said Rubicon
