New Wrangler 392 Rubicon Most Capable Wrangler Yet
Brought to you by Charlie's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
Whether crushing a 4.5-second 0-60 time or conquering steep hills and sand climbs, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is designed to deliver wild off-road performance and a new level of on-road performance.
The most capable, quickest, most powerful Wrangler yet carries a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8. Mated to the crisp-shifting TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic and Selec-Trac full-time active transfer case, the powertrain rockets the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 down the quarter-mile in 13.0 seconds.
"This is the most powerful, quickest, most capable Jeep Wrangler we've ever built," said Jim Morrison, Head of Jeep Brand - FCA North America. "The factory lift and abundant low-end torque from the V-8 makes the Rubicon 392 the king of the hills, whether you're rock crawling at low speeds or powering up an incline. And, when pavement replaces dirt, Rubicon 392 makes quick work of the road."
It's got a Hemi!
The addition of the 392 cubic inch engine marks the first time in nearly 40 years a V-8 has been a factory option for the Wrangler. Tuned specifically for the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, the Hemi engine is rated at 470 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
The design of the engine is based on the latest performance technology. Starting with a cast iron cylinder block and aluminum heads, it comes with an active intake manifold, variable camshaft timing, twin spark plugs per cylinder, sodium-filled exhaust valves, and hollow-stem intake valves.

Geared for performance
A high-torque capacity TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic transmission delivers crisp gear changes during both normal and performance driving conditions. This transmission also enables the driver to change gears via the steering wheel-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, a first for the Jeep Wrangler. The TorqueFlite tranny features on-the-fly shift-map changing. This sophisticated transmission software relies on several input parameters to determine the appropriate driving conditions and adjusts the shift patterns in response.
The heart of the drivetrain is a Selec-Trac full-time, active transfer case with a 2.72 low-range gear ratio. The transfer case has four driver-selectable modes: 4WD Auto, 4WD High, Neutral and 4WD Low. This full-time two-speed transfer case is intuitive and allows the driver to set it and forget it.
To keep all this power behaved, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 chassis includes upgraded frame rails, front upper control arms, and cast iron steering knuckles. The 392's off-road prowess is delivered by wide track, heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles with thick axle tubes and Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials. An electronic front sway-bar disconnect maximizes suspension travel for demanding off-road conditions. Suspension movement is checked by specially-tuned high-performance FOX aluminum monotube shocks, and heavy-duty brakes.

Loud and proud
An active dual-mode exhaust is standard to deliver an unmistakable sound. The system engages automatically, opening valves in the exhaust system, under higher engine loads to reduce exhaust back pressure. The driver can also activate the system with the press of a button. The dual-pipe performance exhaust system is finished off with unique quad exhaust tailpipes.
Bronze identifies it as special
The Wrangler Rubicon 392 carries bronze accents to mark the most powerful Jeep Wrangler ever. Bronze traces the "Rubicon" graphic on the hood, covers the front and rear tow hooks, and FOX Shocks' decal outline. It also outlines the Jeep badge and the Trail Rated badge.
The leather-appointed interior includes unique bronze stitching. The leather seats with Rubicon 392 nomenclature keep drivers comfortable with performance-inspired, integrated upper bolsters. To accommodate new engine specs, the gauge cluster receives all-new numbering and design. Available on the Jeep Wrangler for the first time, the leather-wrapped, performance steering wheel features wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is available in nine exterior colors: Black, Bright White, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal Metallic, Punk 'n Metallic, Sarge Green Metallic, Snazzberry Metallic, Sting-Gray Metallic and Billet Silver Metallic, all with a black interior.
