The Jeep Wrangler 392 is the V8-powered beast that we’d been waiting for a long time, and it's here to elevate the Wrangler experience to new levels of performance. This top-performing Jeep combines the off-road capabilities of the familiar Wrangler Rubicon with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. But they didn’t just shoehorn a V8 into the engine bay of a four-door Wrangler Rubicon and call it a day.

This is a complete rethink of the Wrangler platform and it now combines a powerful engine with the very best suspension and off-road hardware to create an unstoppable performance Jeep. Thanks to that strong engine and impressive suspension, the Wrangler 392 is no slouch on the road either making it a fun vehicle on any terrain.

2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Performance and Capability

The Jeep Wrangler 392 has a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine that produces 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This mill is exclusively mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels via a four-wheel-drive system.

The 392 can sprint from 0 to 60mph in only 4.0-seconds and crushes the quarter mile in only 12.9 seconds at 104mph. Jeep achieved these impressive performance figures while using heavy 33-inch off-road focused tires.

Although its performance is impressive on the pavement, where the Wrangler 392 really shines is during off-roading. It comes standard with 2.0-inch diameter Fox Racing shocks specifically developed to handle the abuse of high-speed off-roading.

This Jeep also benefits from an impressive array of armor to keep critical systems safe during tough rock crawling. The 392 uses the 4-door Rubicon as its base and retains much of that model's off-road performance including its electronically disconnecting sway bars.

To feed that V8 with enough air, Jeep developed a unique hood scoop intake. This interesting design helps the V8 breathe cool air while also helping raise the engine's intake to the top of the hood which increases water fording capabilities to a depth of 32.5 inches.

Jeep even engineered the hood scoop to divert water away from the engine if the hood is slightly submerged. To complete the unique hood scoop the Wrangler 392 is also home to a quad-tip exhaust system that is switchable between both loud and quiet modes.

For customers looking for even more performance Jeep offers the Xtreme Recon Packaged which adds a 2.0-inch suspension lift, 35-inch tires, bead lock wheels, and upgraded axles. This additional package creates the most capable Wrangler ever built that is sure to be the envy of other Wrangler owners around the world.

Jeep Wrangler 392 Specs

Exterior Design

The Wrangler 392 only comes in the four-door body style from the Rubicon. You get a unique front hood scoop that has the 392 badges on the sides of the scoop. Body color fenders which are optional on lesser Wranglers, come standard here . The standard 33-inch off-road tires wrap 17.0-inch wheels that are bead lock capable and unique to the 392.

The 392 is also the tallest Jeep available when customers tick the optional Xtreme Recon Package. In standard form, you get 10.3-inches of ground clearance and 11.1-inches of ground clearance with the Xtreme Recon Package.

Besides these slight updates, the Wrangler 392 looks like a normal Rubicon making it a bit of a sleeper. That is until you see the quad rear exhaust tips and hear the rumble of the massive 6.4-liter V8 engine.

You can buy a 392 across the U.S. as this is a full production model meaning Jeep will build as many as they can sell. While this highly coveted Jeep may be a normal production model, it can be difficult to find due to high demand. Many dealerships are even adding markups to capitalize on the buzz around this exciting off-roader. Thankfully, Jeep will continue to build the 392s in large numbers which should help prices stabilize as it becomes more common.

Main Competition

The Jeep Wrangler 392’s main competition is the new Ford Bronco Raptor. While the 392 may offer a muscle car bred V8 and impressive off-road capability, but the Ford Bronco Raptor isn’t going down without a fight.

For starters, the Ford Bronco Raptor offers an adaptive Fox suspension system and comes standard with 37-inch tires compared to the Jeep Wrangler 392’s factory 33-inch tires. That means the Bronco Raptor boasts 13.1-inches of ground clearance compared to the Wrangler 392’s 10.3-inches.

When it comes to power, this Jeep's 6.4-liter produces 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This wonderful V8 beats out Ford's twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque. The Jeep Wrangler 392’s V8 also sounds far better than the Bronco’s boosted V6 which adds a fun factor to the Jeep’s more exciting drivetrain. Check out our detailed Ford Bronco Raptor vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 comparison.

So to sum it up, the Jeep Wrangler 392 has its fair share of competitors to take on the high-performance off-roader segment that continues to grow. Luckily Jeep has decades of experience building some of the most capable off-roaders. Couple that with a drivetrain that proved itself in Dodge’s muscle cars, and you have a reliable package that’s hard to beat.
