Review: 2021 Jeep Wrangler 392 V8 - Hilarious Fun!

Күн бұрын

I review the awesome Jeep Wrangler 392 and experience how the V8 transforms the Wrangler experience. With an epic-sounding engine, and comical amounts of power for a Wrangler, the 392 feels like a budget Mercedes G-Wagon but with even more fun thanks to the raw driving experience you get in the Wrangler. Add to that the best off-road capability of the Wrangler lineup and its cooler looks, and you get a vehicle that's truly in a class of its own. Yes it's $75,000, but with the strong Wrangler resale values and highly collectible nature of this 392 version, anyone that buys one of these probably won't lose much money if they ever want to sell it. Overall, it's easily my favorite Jeep ever made. What do you think of this V8 Wrangler? Thanks to Jeep for providing this Wrangler 392 to review!

I was a JEEP fan years ago but not this style. Your review gave me some new ideas and for those wanting a truck and a wrangler in the family, this appears to be a great option. On the old Cherokee sadly mechanical issues turned me away. I’m still considering a Bronco but the Wrangler review shows us that it is definitely a big contender in the market. Matt you almost had that Mustang Bullitt smile driving this new mini beast.

Matt with the Dad five o clock ⏰ shadow, enjoying a badass Dad vehicle with 4 doors and tons of noise and curb appeal. I have sat in plenty of Wranglers in my previous job and the seating position and lack of adjustment gets to me, but they seem to make up for it with all kinds of fun tricks. Probably the most fun way to get a convertible type vehicle. Always enjoy your trademark acceleration reaction and it definitely sounds good. Hopefully they will put the 392 in the Gladiator.
