Review: 2021 Jeep Wrangler 392 V8 - Hilarious Fun!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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!

They only used the 6.4 so they could maximize the price and therefore, the profits. The 6.4 doesn't cost them much more to build but they are able to charge a serious premium for them.

Love to you bud and your wife. Wish you the best. Love everything youve done
Perfect back road reaction 👌

This just may be the first time I have ever WANTED a JeeP…I’ve always liked and appreciate them but this…I WANT. 😳
Great review Man,
HOLY HELL it sounds like a monster truck lol
Excellent review
I love seeing your reactions to accelerations and loud motors Matt. As a wrangler rubicon owner, I adore this Jeep. Great review, have a nice day.
I have a 2019 Challenger Scat-Pack 392 and I would not really have considered buying a Jeep until now. When I was a little kid there were V8 Jeep CJ’s and I thought I’d never see a Jeep with more than a 6 cylinder ever again.
FYI this review convinced me to get a 392. So glad I did!

The Jeep style is so cute! I love the design! I also thought the bronco was pretty!
this is a quientessential American statement of a vehicle. i love it. greetings in awe and jelousy from germany.
You are awesome man! I love watching you stab the throttle! Somebody buy this guy a wrangled 392! lol
I love the look and sound of that thing, it just looks and sounds mean.
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.
There’s no point in getting a Wrangler “hellcat”, if Mopar goes “hold my beer”, due to price point and negating it’s main function. This Wrangler 392 is, perfectly, the total package. Matt’s reactions are priceless!
Awesome! Love the black and gold. Needs some 35's on it.
It's interesting that my 1st generation 1977 Bronco had a 302V8 and 3-speed automatic. It had plenty of power and seemed normal at the time.
Cool review was looking at the V8 Jeep you might of helped to sell me! Also cool back ground driving all over the North Hills of Pittsburgh!!
Good review on the awesome 392..love how your voice turned female when you finally got out on the road and opened it up lol
This is the coolest vehicle sold in 2021…hands down!
Next they rly need to come out with a Jeep Wrangler Mojave Hellcat! That would be insane!
Wow!!!Fine Black it is lol. Just ordered 2023 392XR.
What a lovely offroad.. Its My dream car
Great review- happy and upbeat! Love it-thank you.

Thanks FIAT for listening again to Jeep fans want, first the Gladiator and now the 392 option.
Love the fact they did this but knock off 20Grand and put a 5.7 in it...
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. I wonder how much it tows? Would be cool to see a Durango SRT, Grand Cherokee SRT and Wrangler SRT in a drag race. 😎🇺🇸
Wow! Just wow! Love the power Skyroof too!
How do you segment your videos like that? Great review!
Thank you FCA
I would buy a two door. Great review.
This is amazing. I like the defender V8 power plant more, but no removable doors and cheaper would have me going this route!
Me with a V6 JK: Oh 13 city 17 highway, Same as what I get now.

All JL's have a push-button start homie. That "switchblade" key is for the doors, center console, and glove box.
You made me laugh 😂 😂😂😂😂😂. Got a 2019 Power Wagon and Gladiator Lauch Edition. Next will be a Wrangler 392 and a 4xe for my wife.
I had one of the original Gladiators that had a V-8 in it and it'd roar like that when you'd stomp on it, but didn't go ALL that fast since the rear end was geared so low, but it was SO MUCH FUN!

How does the Dana 44 hold up to all the power? I think a 40 spline Dana 60 would make more sense. Not sure why they changed the transfer case also.
