Not surprising, V8s can't meet CAFE standards and can't match the performance and power of EVs.

Yeah I saw a final edition launching for 2024 and every dealership will be allocated just 1 lol I hope all the wishers in the jeep care threads see this and take it as the gladiator is never getting the 392 let alone v8 from factory.

Thats good, now everyone can stop talking about it in here.

 

[LouisvEarlleJT]

It'll be interesting to see what options there will be moving forward.

It was a mistake to not certify the 5.7 in the JT from the beginning. Of course it's not happening at this point.

Honestly it's not surprising, I mean, I see wranglers EVERYWHERE, but not 392's. Those are expensive toys that not many people buy.

CAFE has been a failure. It forces bigger vehicles, not more efficient vehicles. Can't make the old 2 door long bed little pickups that were popular for a while. Yea it would get better mileage but under CAFE it would need to get 60mpg or something ridiculous like that. I have a saying I used, "Drive the behavior you want" They are not doing that, they are forcing bigger and bigger trucks to be able to meet the MPG requirement.

I think vehicle size is a direct result of evolving safety standards.

But they work in cold weather and don't explode as violently!

Aren’t most just expensive toys?
I am in a smaller town, and we have 5-6 392 wranglers running around ??‍

Turbo v6 would be nice.

NEVER!! ?

Very sad!

CAFE is part of the equation too.

CAFE standards have leniencies for larger wheelbases, forcing trucks to either become more efficient or get bigger. Well, you've seen the evolution of trucks over the last 30 years, it should be pretty obvious which route the mnfrs chose to take.

CAFE is directly responsible for the rise of the SUV and why you almost can't buy a car anymore.
