- We review the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 with Extreme Recon Package. This $80,000 Jeep pushes the limits of price and performance. While the idea of throwing a V8 in everything has become a joke, this really is the last of its kind. We talk about engineering, fun, and more. With the Ford Bronco Raptor coming out, which would you choose?

Авто/Мото
Finally, a decent car I can pick up my kids with.
There’s so many speed bumps in that school zone. My old Silverado just couldn’t keep up
It’s unfortunate Chevy took so long to come out with the Silverado ZR2. That thing will handle speed bumps too when it finally hits the market.
Wow, this intro is intense, Geese. You're making me wonder if my wife's boyfriend will have this on pre order. My Murano isn't holding up the same anymore. Exciting!
Ha
Yeah I’ve got one on order, will be here next week. She’s going to be moister than an oyster
Wife's Boyfriend? 🥴
Best part is....he drives her around, you pay the bill.
🤣🤣 LOL
“Just buy one. Either collect it, or beat the absolute piss out of it”
Nice final thought 👍
I missed my morning protein shake but my T levels are still at max after experiencing the Jeep 392.
After I opened my third CrossFit, I bought one of these.
My first car in high school was a ‘76 Jeep CJ5 with a V8 and 3 speed manual. It was so much fun and I’m lucky to still be alive.
I’m surprised you didn’t roll it!
@@keithgatzke5390 I almost rolled it several times!
@@johntyson not surprising! They were dumb to put a v8 in something with such a short wheelbase and a high center of gravity.
More importantly I can’t imagine your experience driving a V8 with only 3 gears ⚙️⚙️⚙️ I’ve been driving a few 4 gear L6, which gives a great rev roar🦁 Your 3gears must’ve sounded like a dragon 🐉
same, Levis Renegade with headers and side-exiting glass packs spitting flames - it was stupid, and it was a blast
I’ll never need or buy a Jeep, but Savage’s content is so good that I have to watch.
11.1 MPG? That’s still better then my work box truck, maybe I can write this off for business
Wow, that’s like $60 now to go just 100miles. Now we understand why Europe always had little engines.
@@aussie2uGA because their governments intentionally oppress their people with as much taxes as they can take to fill their pockets? Yeah that's probably why they have little engines. I'm sure they want weak little prius gokarts
@@THESLlCK The taxes are specifically to drive down fuel use. They have to import all of it and that's a big drain on a nation's economy. When they started those taxes big and powerful cars were strictly a luxury product.
@@markmiller3279 yeah I'm sure everyone is much better off paying inflation-level prices for everyday goods. They've done so much good, surely. You can tell because everybody walks and bikes in europe by choice.
.....right?
@@THESLlCK Pretty sure that 19,000 people didn't die walking and biking in the EU last year, to say nothing of the proportionally much-worse 43,000 people who died in passenger vehicles in the USA. And those numbers speak in no way to 300,000 obesity-related deaths that Americans suffer because they're too scared and unfit to walk to the train station (that doesn't exist).
I’ve literally never looked twice at a jeep but this would be an absolute riot. I had a charger 392 and I’m glad to see those crazy bastards shoe horned a 392 into an off-road vehicle
There's companies out there that will put a Hellcat or Redeye engine in this too.
@@TheCobruhAlienat0r God bless America
@@jonathanboggs24 the hellephant was literally the first engine swapped into the gladiator. 1000hp 426 lol
"What am I, chopped liver??" -Trackhawk
For someone who considers the G550 too flashy, this is a great vehicle at a $70K discount. Yes, it is not a Mercedes, but that’s the whole point.
It also has real offroad tires and wheels. Not some ridiculous 22" rims that can't withstand an Illinois pothole.
@@dougrobinson8602 you do realize you can just... change out the wheels, right? But i do agree, no one is gonna spend 200k+ on a car and actually use it for offroad. But the history, and luxury of the benz is what makes it expensive.
ive been inside the jeep 392, and the interior quality is horrible for the price.
Hells yes!!!!! This would be perfect for my Beef and cheddar Arbys runs!!!!!!
Arbys!
Seen the vehicle and knew this was going to be full of pedal stomping fun🤣🤣🔥🔥
It's insane! 😅
*Saw* the vehicle…
2 minutes in and I'm pounding my chest like a big ape. I like it
Been waiting for this review, and you guys didn’t disappoint!
The last time I have them giggle like this was the Durango Hellcat.
That laugh at 4:39 sums it up hahaha
Just in time. Just picked one of these this past weekend. What a beast, it's a muscle car jeep. Insane. But I love it while getting 9mpg.
This jeep is so stupid I had to have one. Ordered a 392XR back in October and hoping it finally shows up at the dealer next month. What is there not to like. 0 to 60 in 4 flat. Can throw kids in the back, great retro looks, and can get it a little dirty. Perfect urban car for me. A working man's G Wagon.
@@navminhas412 V8.
And I say this as a 4-door Jeep/Fiat-Chrysler hater.
@@Mecharuva Yup. The engine just takes it over the top. The Bronco would actually probably be better for my purposes, but not so much better that I am willing to give up the V8 392 performance.
I initially was considering a Bronco Raptor but decided against it for a couple of reasons. The first is that I think the design is too clownish. Design wise, it just looks over done with those massive fender flares. Had they say just offered a v8 or even a higher performing v6 in a Badlands spec, then the Bronco would be more appealing to me.
@@navminhas412 a wimpy v6 isn't better than this
@@navminhas412 imagine buying a ford vacuum cleaner
Put the kids in the front seats and the 392 will literally throw the kids in the back for you
LOL that “‘peak” comment had me laughing 😂
Once again, the intro gave me chills. And the sound of this engine is orgasmic. Wow, what a way to begin the weekend.
I poured myself a coffee and sat down to watch this video. After watching this I just poured my coffee out, I was already beating my chest!
These things are the silliest and most badass vehicles that have been made in the last 10 years!! Love it!!👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is one of my favourite SG videos, thanks guys
Looks like the smiles per mile are ringing the bell with this one too.
Wicked intro too guys!
It's funny how for many years, Jeep loyalists have been begging Chrysler to offer a V8 option, and they finally do right around the same time Ford re-launches the new Bronco. That aside, I love the 392 option, and love the review. Kudos to Jeep & Savagegeese.
I'd argue that they made the 392 and the Recon edition specifically because of the Bronco. If Ford never brought the Bronco back, you'd have only the V6 and 4 banger turbo Wrangler. And probably the 4xe.
@@FullySpooled Fully Agreed.
I got a chance to ride in a 392 Wrangler calibration vehicle a couple years back. It had a 4" lift on it, and it honestly rode really well. If not for the typical Wrangler road noise, it was a legitimately nice car to be in. I never thought I'd say that about a Wrangler.
"Its so stupid, its amazing" is the best quote in the video lmao
Perfect for urban cruising. Thank you, whoever did this. ♥
I think I was smiling and laughing the entire time. Very fun review.
"60's muscle car in a Jeep" - sign me up!
You guys never disappoint.
11 mpg, just in time for $8/gallon gas
Please keep updating their $8/gallon price as it comes up :)
Tyrone (my wife’s boyfriend) have one of these in order, he said if I don’t make any late payments, he might let me sit in the driver seat!
Tyrone is such cool guy for such cool ride
If you're trying to get rid of him, buying this deathtrap is a good way to do it. Make sure you have insurance
My böner became its hardest when I perchanced to notice this JL392 video you dropped.
Omgosh 😂 that delay! You hear the gas pedal hit the floor and even Waldo was like 😒 "what's happening" then it finally takes off, wow
I totally see this being used as a serious 4x4. People often load them with 500lb of gear inside.
"If you peaked in high school, buy one of this"
LOL
Just what a Ding Ding champion would say
Me imagining the job of your average high school peaker. "Press X to doubt".
nailed it - it’s a V8, roof comes off and seats 4 in comfort + no silly tech - Long live Jeep and SG..
Perfect vehicle to go get groceries with in an energy crisis.
Now I can go to the local mall and confidently tackle my weekend clothes shoppeing in my sparkling, pristine rubicon 392. Thanks SG
This is the only Jeep I would trade my 21 Bronco Outerbanks 2.7 for. Awesome off roader
I have to give Mopar credit. They're sending the ICE out with not just a bang, but an atomic blast.
The best description of Jeep
Now THIS is the perfect Blarney's Island slore vehicle!
I want one of these and I absolutely loved this video!👍
As a '22 4Runner TRD ORP owner, that LOVES his 4Runner, the 392 Rubi is the ONLY vehicle i would trade it in for
We have the Landcruiser 300 Series diesel available where I am. . .
the fact that you're both wearing Patagonia tops makes this even better.
First, great video gents! Second, we wanted a 5.7 at about 50k. Not a 6.4 at 70k. I don’t see many of these on the road here in the south where you’d expect to see them. It’s cool but no thanks.
Add in dealer mark ups and its pushing 100k
Production limitations more than lack of demand. And i think it's meant to be more of a limited-run seller, too. Stellantis is already buying tons of emissions credits from Tesla
tbh it doesn't really need to sell if it gives FCA bragging rights over ford. They'd much sooner sell you a wrangler 4xe
@@ShaiyanHossain which is an impressive drive train. But that starts at $54k, 58 if you want a rubicon and 66 if I had my way with it. Would be a long time before I recouped that initial cost of the hybrid drive train. Considering I bought my first fully loaded 4dr Rubicon at $43k back in 2013, I’m just not that into these prices.
My thoughts exactly !!
Mark bringing it back. Well played sir.
How are people out there just dropping $80k on a Jeep like this?? - clearly, I'm not living up to my full potential.
They are either making a lot of money or being irresponsible
Just take out a 10 year loan
People Can't Afford these! They are Leveraging their whole Budget or Taking out Home Equity to Buy.
BTW I'm a Lender who sees this Personally!!
It's ridiculous!
It's like 10 mpg too. Imagine $5+ a gallon to fill up that tank, non-stop
I'll stick to my Tacoma and dirt bike..
@@SuperSonic_868 and it’s premium fuel only!
The sounds with the doors off and windows down I can’t imagine
Uhhhh....do you mean the roof down?
@@normwetherbee3403 yes lol whoops
Monster engine, lifted, unstable platform at speed....what could possibly go wrong?🤣
😂😂
Stellantis needs to bundle this with life insurance.
U 2 found each other .... love these comedy rides .. THX, THX, THX ...... have to smile and lough ....
Ford: Our new Bronco has a 3.0L turbo
Jeep: cute
Savegegeese - thank you for a fenomenal high quality video!
This is my current dreamcar. If I had to live the rest of my life with one car - this is it😎😄!
Future classic indeed.
Mark looked actually terrified haha. that's impressive.
Whimpered like a little girl
Big Wrangler fan here. I’ve owned six brand new Wranglers over the past twenty five years. I’ll trade in my current 2.0L JL pronto as soon as Stellantis adds bigger/better brakes and reduces some of the body roll; done! Thanks for the review. SG is the sh!t, Cheers/B
Shouldn’t brag about being an idiot and idolizing such trash vehicles 😂
I love mine. Lots of smiles for the gallon!
You guys need to make a movie. I just love your videos.
Bad ass review fellas
You kinda described my car. My spirit vessel. In repair, pseudo-idle. Like me. First car I ever owned. Tuned. Owned two others after that, and a motorcycle. Those are gone now. The Corolla E11 is still waiting for R&R (Rescue and Revival). ... When I was driving with company, it was well-received how the rev meter needle went into the red and then twitching out of it on the other side. 😄
My motto: *Torque steer is not a problem, but a feature.*
When you mentioned Stellantis, I wiki'd a bit and realized, unexpectedly in these times of business fusions, that there is a brand I hadn't known before: "DS" - Citroen luxury brand. Now I know what that weird car badge was that I saw here recently.
Quality as usual.
Not a Jeep Wrangler fan…but damn that V8 sound does put a smile on my face
I appreciate that they did this. No harm it it. It is ludicrous in a good way.
Jeep/Dodge is the true MAGA
This intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This thing is awesome..also helps with over landing with extra loads..wish it came in 2dr version..lol
Wow that thing sure is Xtreme!
If only it was the 5.7; making these affordable would’ve moved so many units.
I have never owned a Jeep but I want a Wrangler Rubicon 392. Or maybe a Cherokee Hemi. Thank you Stellantis for V8's and excellent interiors in the Cherokees, Wagoneers, and the RAM trucks.
Sometimes it seems like Stellantis took Lee Iacocca from the grave, gave him an unlimited supply of hemi engines, and put him in charge of the product planning department.
The jacked up 392 Pacifica is going to kick ass. Especially with the fine Corinthian leather interior.
Well Lee Iacocca got his name making affordable cars for the masses, not Jeeps with aircraft carrier engines
I do t know if he would have approved of a $80k jeep
Cannot wait for the 392 Jeep Renegade
EV piles - accurate. 😎
Funnest vid that you 2 have created in my opinion... Watching you guys drive that 392 beast, floating on the road, reminds me of an rc car just tearing it up... Pure fun and enjoyment from you 2🤗🤘🍻
Now to the bronco vs wrangler drama... Love my 20 wrangler Rubicon, but i really wanted a Bronco. Cooler heads (and economic conditions helped) prevailed because Jeep has had decades to perfect and you would think Ford would learn the lesson... Nope. A turbo engine? 👎... Quality issues with hard tops 👎 dealer markups 👎, etc, etc. Maybe in 5 years when the bugs are worked out as use🤙
my v8 jeep.... 4.7L WK ... gest 11mpg driving around city too. this seems like an improvement haha
Is there a 4/5 point harness option with this beast? That would be the box to check off as these things are going to be rolling over around corners like Hot Wheels when you set up the track wrong....
Don’t need it. Still going to be slow and uncomfortable to drive. No one’s going to be going fast enough to need harnesses
This thing is cool asf but I wish there was a 2 door version with at least the 5.7
Patiently waiting 392 hemi minivan!
I have never been a Jeep off road guy, and I don’t think I ever will be. However, if I had to choose, it would definitely be this Jeep Wrangler with the V8 OR the Jeep Cherokee Track Hawk. The guys at Jeep build what customers want! With that being said, WHY THE FUCK can’t Acura and Honda build what customers want! Give us the Accord TypeR, Give us a REAL Integra, give us a TLX TypeS with a 6spd manual make it 3200 pounds, and make it affordable. I need to start making my own car man. Excuse the rant. Great Video again guys. Love it!
Honda doesnt want to invest the cash to do so... they are so stuck up their asses in badge engineering, parts bin raiding just like GM in the 80s... together with focus on eliminating warranty claims.... Honda & Acura are the Fridgidaire of automobiles
I remember back in the good old days when the integra wasn’t just a more luxurious civic
@@SantanKGhey1234 Honda doesnt have the funds to do any of this. In the current corporate world, they are a rather small indpendent brand.
@@kenim They absolutely do have the funds. They’re a massive auto giant
All the way!!! Keep the V8 coming!!!
Impressive!
I love this Jeep, and I'm glad it exists, but at 75k there are too many other vehicles that I personally would rather have. However, if you have the funds and it strikes your fancy, know I'll be a tiny bit jealous when I see you driving by.
That's before dealer markups. Don't expect a 392 or Hellcat motor for anywhere close to MSRP outside the Ram 2500.
Tractor with terminator factor....work partner that every cowboy ever needed...
Pure and true love right thier
Over-the-top, impractical and likely unreliable but damn, I am happy that Dodge listened to their customers and put the 392 in the Wrangler. That's a proper send-off for the ICE.
That MRSP makes me chuckle. These are going for nearly $100k in Northwest Arkansas.
I bought a 392 last winter to replace my LJ (another classic). Everything they said is absolutely true. And 76k is a steal compared to what these will cost in a few years.
Can you guys review the 2022 updated Silverado LTZ Z-71 with a 6.2 V8? Your reviews are second to none!
Call the package crazy Bigfoot, More horsepower out of the engine tighter suspension and the funny skinny front tires. A jeep wrangler for the street
I think most people wanted the 5.7 Hemi. Especially people who overland these vehicles and add extra weight with mods. The normal V6 was just becoming underpowered.
This will sell to the same people who buy Hellcats, Charger 392s, SRT Durango, and TRXs. I don't think many overlanders will want to swallow the price premium and the fuel economy hit. The first one of these I saw was a guy who's wife loved her aftermarket turbo V6 Wrangler, but wanted to have the V8. The second was nearly the same story. People with fast cars in their garage that want a fast Wrangler.
I rock crawl and overland with my Rubicon with 40s and live in CO above 7,000ft above sea level and never felt the need for more power since I average 3mph when crawling LOL.
@@mtnman1984 yeah IDK, I think they could have chosen better but went the way that would bring more profit by charging premium. Also it could have been a decision to not hurt the sales of the V6 if the V8 offering was too sensible.
@@kenim there is some marketing in the price premium, but this truck has some special engineering in it too. This is the sixth available powertrain for the Wrangler and it's even more niche than a Hellcat widebody. I don't think they're worried about sales cannibalization or sales outright.
@@mtnman1984 i know and thats the problem and probably even their intention. People actually wanted a smaller less outrageous V8 for a more affordable price. Read a lot of people commenting it should have been a 5.7 for around 50k. And that maybe made too much sense, so they went the niche way to make a statement.
Thanks for confirming my suspicion that you were the ding dong champ that finally ended my reign
thinking this might be my next!
I guess we shouldn't be surprised this came along now...but either way its a great all around package. I'm not a wrangler person either but as Mark said..speed & power is what this model was missing. I think this is a dream for a lot of hardcore wrangler fans.
There is nothing "all around" about this thing.
@@Incomudro1963 ...well many ppl would consider a vehicle with good ground clearance, 4 wheel drive, off road capabilities, seats 4 passengers, high torque, and high hp and can be used 365 in all 4 seasons...an all around vehicle. How is it not? Ok you can't use it on a track...
It’s a toy, right , but an expensive toy to buy and play with…. Good for those boys who can afford it. 11 mpg nowadays with 2$/litre in Canada!!! Go for it guys … I can’t imagine what income bracket can afford this thing comfortably.
More than you’d think, which is a different kind of problem
About $40 to drive 100km. Going to drive some FSRs for a day near Vancouver the bill would probably be about $130 in fuel. That's like a day out in a ski boat lol. Of course, a TJ with 35s would probably get even worse mileage!
I love when Jack goes Ape on the throttle!
The perfect vehicle...
Powerful like a Hellcat, but outdoorsy and practical like a Patagonia fleece pullover.
Even tho these FCA vehicles aren’t reliable at all they should of done this so long ago. Awesome ride
That Rubicon would make my stupid happy!
This just might be the reincarnation of the true CJ-7! I miss my lifted on 35" mud tires with a 304 W/t-4 7.xx granny low first gear so it was basically a 3 speed cj-7!
BUT, omfg the price is out of hand!!!
...................I just wish I wouldn't have to black market my first born to afford one though!!!!!!!!!!!! @JEEP #JEEP
Those are some really nice rims. Somebody will put Fuel rims on it anyway.
