FCA is on a mission to keep the ’21 Jeep Wrangler on top of the off-road market despite a new threat from the upcoming ’21 Ford Bronco. Recently, the Jeep brand showed off a concept that shows that V8 power will come to the iconic off-roader. The Jeep brand introduced the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Concept—a four-door version of the Wrangler powered by the 6.4L HEMI V8 making 450 hp and 450 lb.-ft. of torque and capable of a 0–60 mph in less than 5 seconds. Now, a pre-production prototype has been caught on the street. Expect the production model to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and stay true to the concept.

While it looks like a standard Rubicon model, this one features a similar ram-air scoop to the concept shown only a few days ago. A pair of Beadlock wheels also show that this prototype stays true to the concept. It looks like this vehicle could be coming to production sometime in 2021. It will join a lineup with the V6, turbocharged four-cylinder, diesel and the upcoming electrified 4xe model that is scheduled to debut later this year.

A 6.4L HEMI Wrangler would mark the first time that the off-road manufacturer would offer a V8 option since the ’81 Jeep CJ.

If FCA can keep the curb weight around 4,400 lbs., 1,000 lighter than the SRT Durango, the Jeep Wrangler 392 is going to be a blast to drive.

I would like to see the Jeep in a long wheel base 2 door version. Like the LJ back in 08 and 09. I have one of those and it looks better to me than a 4 door.

Hopefully there is more of an exterior refresh. The bronco is a knock out in the looks department contrary to what I thought when leaks photos were emerging in the past.

Totally unrelated, but we have two brand new F350's at work that both have the death wobble. <10K miles on them. Didn't believe it until I drove one of them.
They still have that issue 20yrs later?
