Jeep Wrangler Moab 392 special edition with 6.4L V8 engine

Jeep has officially opened orders for the Wrangler Moab 392, a new special edition powered by a naturally aspirated 6.4-liter V8 HEMI engine. This is the most powerful Wrangler in the current lineup and one of the few V8-equipped off-roaders approved for sale even in strict eco-states.

Focus on Power and Heritage

The Moab 392 delivers 470 horsepower, maintaining the naturally aspirated character and linear torque that Jeep enthusiasts value. The model features reinforced steel bumpers, 35-inch off-road tires, and a suspension configuration designed for extreme loads. Jeep emphasizes that the Moab 392 is built as a versatile tool, intended to perform confidently both in the city and on rocky trails.

Market and the Twelve-for-Twelve Program

The Moab 392 is part of the Twelve-for-Twelve initiative, under which the brand releases new Wrangler special editions monthly throughout the year to celebrate 85 years of off-road heritage. Previously, the Whitecap and 85th Anniversary Edition were introduced. This strategy helps Jeep maintain interest in the model ahead of the next generation's launch.

Availability and Pricing

The Moab 392 is now officially available for the first time in all 50 states, including regions with the strictest environmental regulations. The starting price is $79,995, placing the model at the higher end of the Wrangler price range, but this is justified by the top-tier engine and equipment.

Competition

The Moab 392 operates in the niche of high-powered off-roaders with a classic frame and naturally aspirated V8—a segment that is nearly disappearing. Its main rivals include the Ford Bronco Raptor, which features a turbocharged V6 and a more aggressive suspension platform but lacks the character and torque of a large naturally aspirated engine.

Toyota Land Cruiser 250 and Lexus GX models focus on technical endurance rather than maximum dynamics, as they use more fuel-efficient turbocharged engines. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class remains the benchmark for status and off-road capability, but it costs significantly more than the Moab 392 and represents a different class.

Overall, Jeep stands out as one of the few brands still mass-producing an affordable V8 off-roader in the pure "power classic" formula.
