The Jeep Wrangler say goodbye to your V-8 option after the 2024 model year, with a limited edition model as the last hurray.
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition is the latest iteration of the Rubicon 392 version. It adds an 8,000-pound capacity Warn winch, Mopar grille guard and rock sliders, a half-inch suspension lift that creates 11.6 inches of ground clearance and 34.5 inches of water fording ability, and Final Edition hood and front fender decals. The Final Edition also includes the Xtreme 35 tire package, with 35-inch tires and 17-inch beadlock-capable bronze wheels.
Inside, the Rubicon 392 Final Edition is distinguished by 12-way power front seats in black nappa leather with Mayan gold stitching and Tupelo highlights, as well as a special shift medallion and tailgate information plaque. A folding table, tool kit and air compressor are also included.
Launched in November 2020, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 is powered by a 6.4-liter V-8 that produces 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system with a 48:1 crawl ratio, the V-8 takes the Wrangler from 0 to 60 mph in a factory-estimated 4.5 seconds and travels a quarter mile in 13.0 seconds. .
However, Jeep parent Stellantis is discontinuing V-8 engines. The V-8 Dodge Charger and Challenger ended production after the 2023 model year, to be replaced with a new charger with turbo-6 and electric power. The Dodge Durango is also about to lose its V-8 and is getting its own series of specials starting with the SRT 392 AlcHemi.
Production of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition will be limited to 3,700 units, including 3,300 for the US, 300 for Canada and 100 for other markets. Prices start at $101,890 and order books are now open.
The Wrangler itself has received some updates for the 2024 model year, including a new infotainment system, standard side airbags, and some mechanical changes to improve off-road capability. The current JL Wrangler is expected to stick around for a few more years, with a replacement called the J70 arriving in 2028 with plug-in hybrid and all-electric power.
