392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

[ChrisNLA]

Just buy it new from the dealer with the swap installation included in the sales price. Banks will finance anything on anything. They aren’t shy about loaning stupid money on upside down deals.

*checks around*

$90K for a 5.7 Hemi swapped Gladiator (new truck, in inventory).

Nahhh. I can live the 3.6 life

I can finance a new one a lot easier than a motor swap

But - the ole lady did say if I found a way the AMW swap wasn't the worst idea I ever had....

That sounds like it might be a low bar to clear...

It's not high.

I think my Mojave will get a 392 by osmosis before there is a 392 Gladiator.

2030 is coming along... But, will anyone even want the V8 by then with a bunch of Hurricanes on the road.

Page 128, is it here yet? No, ok back to bed with sweet dreams

Can it tow though?

I could care less to tow.....

 

[HopSlammer]

It’d tow your money to the bank with nominal interest

I could care less to tow.....

So you do care.

Oh Boy!

According to our favorite prognosticator we are getting the 392 AND possibly the new 5.2 V8 hemi which is in development…
Dont shoot me I’m just the messenger!!

We've just been asked to complete a study of what we need for our JL/JT tools to run until MY 35

The JT/JL is gonna be like the Durango. Plodding along like a zoo kept elephant for years to come

It's always a cost thing, if all the suppliers come in low enough on refurb costs, they'll carry on.

I say that with affection as well. It doesn't particularly bother me if a vehicle carries on for ten years with face lifts and little improvements here and there. The parts become more available, the DIY and tech information in the community becomes more widespread, etc.

Probably one of many reasons I could put the ole lady in a brand new Durango right now for $36K. The costs have long been recouped.
