The End of an Era: 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition

As Jeep closes the chapter on V-8 power for the iconic Wrangler, it introduces a special limited-edition variant to commemorate the end of this era. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition will stand as a fitting tribute to the powerful off-roader enthusiasts have come to adore.

This exclusive model enhances the already robust Rubicon 392 grade with a suite of upgrades. Among these are an 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch, rock-crawling-ready Mopar grille guard, rock sliders, and a subtle half-inch suspension lift achieving 11.6 inches of ground clearance. With these enhancements, it boasts an impressive 34.5 inches of water-fording capability, making it virtually unrivaled in its class. The Final Edition isn’t shy about its status either, with distinct hood and front fender decals.

The addition of the Xtreme 35 Tire Package, featuring 35-inch tires on 17-inch bronze beadlock-capable wheels, further bolsters its formidable off-roading credentials.

The interior of the Final Edition doesn’t lack luster either. It’s adorned with black nappa leather 12-way power front seats beautifully contrasted by Mayan gold stitching and Tupelo accents. The vehicle also includes exclusive touches like a special shifter medallion, a tailgate information plate, a fold-out table, a toolkit, and an air compressor.

The heart of the Wrangler Rubicon 392 is its potent 6.4-liter V-8 engine, delivering 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Married to an 8-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system with a remarkable 48:1 crawl ratio, this V-8 empowers the Wrangler to surge from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 4.5 seconds. The quarter-mile dash is achieved in just 13.0 seconds, per factory estimates.

However, the era of V-8 engines is drawing to a close at Jeep parent company Stellantis. With the V-8 era also concluding for the Dodge Charger and Challenger, and the Durango set to follow suit, Stellantis is ushering in a new age of performance with turbo-6 and electrification strategies.

A scant 3,700 units of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition will be produced, with distribution across the U.S., Canada, and other markets. The privilege of owning one starts at $101,890. Prospective buyers can act now as the order books are open.

For 2024, the Wrangler line benefits from a refreshed infotainment system, the integration of standard side airbags, and several enhancements tailored for off-road prowess. The current JL-series Wrangler will continue to serve the market until the expected debut of its successor, the J70, in 2028. The forthcoming model aims to offer plug-in hybrid and all-electric propulsion, keeping in step with evolving automotive technologies.
