The after-market on jeeps have always been insane. I used to work for the Dodge dealership in Fremont California and a customer would come in every couple of months with a 2 door JL that had an engine swapped 5.7L Supercharged. Little thing was insane but he loved showing it off and would give people rides.
Your description of the sound…was exactly how I felt when my son brought the 1st Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 over to visit! I could not believe that sound was coming from a Jeep!
Doug even looks like he's playing the part of a Jeep owner, a little scruff on the neck, hair tousled, more energetic facial movements, clearly he's loving the 392.
I've watched a lot of reviews in the 392 Wrangler, and most people who drive it seem to agree that where this really, really shines, is in 4 low offroad. Apparently having the power and torque to be confident you can and will get over any obstacle (with the right line and skill of course) is where the smiles per mile really come into their own. Perhaps Doug should try taking a 392 where he took the Rivian for an off road test, and see if the 4 low thing is really where it is at with this Wrangler.
Thats a world of power in a 4×4 off road design vehicle. Maybe even too much. But personally, they should have put 5.7 Hemi instead. It already produces a lots of power. 390 lb-ft of torque & 385 hp. Getting lots of power there and it would definitely bring the price down. 80k plus for a jeep wrangler is not worth it. Especially considering their depreciation value.
Shoot, even my early JK with 35’s had no problem with power in 4Low. That’s the whole point of the low gear range. And you don’t need a whole lot of engine power to offroad if you have the correct gearing. Still cool though.
That it is illogical? What's up with you Americans and pimping out 3t cars to go fast? I guess it stems from the fact that you think racing is going fast in a straight line
@@Mike_Atwell Its defalt is 4 auto, the lever moves it to part time 4H and then 4 Low. 4 auto has a center diff. when it goes to part time 4 High, the center diff is locked.
That laugh at the 13:07 mark is the most I’ve ever seen Doug laugh during a pull. Lol. Classic V8 power has that effect! 🤣😂. He had that mad scientist laugh going for sure
this would have been a lot cheaper if they had a v8 in the lineup from the beginning. adding it on at the end makes the msrp ridiculous (since they already overcharged for the v6 rubicon)
Part of the reason they limit it to 110 mph is because it has a 4.56 rear end. That's a serious torque ratio, not a speed/economy ratio. Even with the eight speed trans, I'm guessing it would be revving pretty high at top speed.
Many people have derestricted their Ram TRX'S Top speed to go faster mph just to have the tires come apart going over 100mph. Off road tires like this 392 Rubicon will come apart and are rated only to 100mph. You'll see lots of these 392 Rubicon's riding on 22"-24" low profile tires and rims once owners get them. Look at all the jeeps in the city. Nobody riding on mud tires, just 22"s driving like clowns.
@@neverendingmods I hope nobody runs mud tires on their daily driver wrangler. Years ago my friend bought a modded xj, think it had clayton lift detroit lockers on 33 muds. He drove it as his daily id guess the tires lasted less than 15k. They were like new when he got them. And were horrible in rain and snow. Mud tires just dont make sense unless you go wheeling in mud often. And then youd want to swap them off after wheeling trip, unless its a dedicated trailered rig.
As a longtime Jeep guy, I suspect part of the “planted” feel comes from the full-time 4x4 (the old Quadratrack Wagoneers had the same dynamic). I for one miss the play-by-play on the Doug Score.
I think he does the play-by-play score on the newly reviewed vehicles. As he mentioned, he already reviewed the new wrangler, and this is considered a trim or another version of it.
As an owner of a 392 for about 6 months now, I would never ever get rid of this car. I've had other jeeps before this one and I could never compare the 2. Everyone who gets in my jeep now absolutely looses it! Especially when I'm in the mountains/snow/offroading. Its absolutely thrilling!! Thanks so much Doug I wish you reviewed mine!!!
I think it was a great decision especially since all new vehicles in the next few years are going to be turbo 4 bangers and EVs. With all the safety tech they just forced car makers to implement in the next few years car prices are going to be even more astronomical. Time to buy is now and hopefully it will last you long enough until this BS subsides.
My M151's original powerplant was dogshit... I've put a Toyota 3l-T and now it's wayyy better but the fear of rolling over keeps me from highway speeds 😂
The wrangler with the base engine 2.0l turbo 0-60 in 5.8sec according to caranddriver, they did a comparison test against the bronco 2.7t v6 and the wrangler was faster to 0-60.
Two things you’ll see with this car: 1) tons of used one with like 10,000 miles after owners got bored quickly. 2) lots of wrecked ones in insurance auction lots getting sold for parts.
All these videos I've seen and it makes me look for quirks. I rented a Hyundai recently and the speedo goes by increments of five and then goes to increments of ten after 40mph. Pretty weird but intuitive and easy to tell speed.
If I had the choice I think I'd always go for the factory engine. Reason being: usually the engine isn't the only thing that changes when you get a different one. Theres simple things like better brakes and different components near the engine that might get done in an aftermarket swap as well. Then theres bigger stuff like a different transmission and differential which should also be changed to accomodate the new power. And then there's stuff like variations to the body to account for the engine in a crash. That's stuff where I want manufacturer testing behind it because it's critical to safety.
Oh no he actually got his hands on the new WRX 🤣 can't wait for his take on it Also seeing Doug feel more comfortable with himself in his videos, especially at @13:05 makes me happy for him

If you're buying a Jeep with a 392 for the drag strip, I'm afraid you're in the wrong market. Jeep enthusiasts will appreciate the increased torque for smoother terrain engagements, and the beefier tires for better grappling and handling.

Doug isn't the only reviewer to be reduced to maniacal laughter when driving this thing. The word stupid and fun get throw around quite a bit too. Pretty cool!
@@henderse317 it's somewhat quick, but 100mph top speed is far from fast. I guess it'll surprise some folks stop light to stop light, but it just seems like it has no solid purpose. Jack of all trades but master of none. And for 80k I'd want it to be really good at at least one thing
First! I'm so early I got here before Doug even took you on a tour of the car to show you it's quirks & features, got it out on the road to drive it, or gave it a Doug Score.
UA-cam Secret: Doug actually records himself reviewing, testing and scoring the cars ahead of time. He probably took us on a tour of its quirks and features days ago.
It's not just limited to112mph for the tires, though I'm sure it's a top of the list reason. The wheel base, width, ride height combination would be nothing short of dangerous at high speed. If you do over 100 in this thing you're nuts.
@@runfunmc64 As a Jeep Mechanic, going more than 90+ in a Wrangler is dangerous lol. Jeep did not build these machines with speed in mind. This vehicle is made for Off-Roading. High Center of Gravity, Chassis designed entirely for Strength and Off-Roading, Brick like shape with its weight and horrendous areodynamics. This is all excluding jeep wranglers infamous Death-Wobble at high speeds. Take a turn at 80+ you might just die lmao. Any SUV that can reach 160+ easily was designed with that in mind. @ Jeep Trackhawk.
I have a 99 wrangler 4.0. I put all of my music gear in there. Roughly 500 lbs. probably more honestly. It didnt change performance at all. I was so impressed. How torque actually equates.
Shocks doesn’t lift a suspension , the springs do ,only thing a shock does is dampen the ride when going over rough things and helps keep the axle on the ground to prevent wheel bounce
Literally all of the Wrangler community asked for a 5.7 for YEARS. Jeep, well, went straight to plaid and stuffed the 6.4 in it for $20-30k more than everyone wanted to pay.
Speed? The handling dynamics of this platform is questionable with moderate power. Big power and poor handling spells trouble for the average, mall crawling driver.
@@volvo09 which is why you would be stupid to buy a Rubicon 392, considering the Sahara is also a top trim level, id assume you could pair Sahara + 392 and get a better overall vehicle

@@wr8thbeatz322 It was a tax write off for my business. :) No big deal
I love that Mopar still focus's on "Smiles per gallon". 13:05
I’m 💀 at Doug’s laugh when he’s driving it. 😂 😂
When Doug laughs like the joker in a vehicle review, you know he likes it😀
Best video moment: Doug’s sinister laugh while smoking the other cars!😄
Now this a Jeep that I could buy to go off roading on the highway
If you're buying a Jeep with a 392 for the drag strip, I'm afraid you're in the wrong market. Jeep enthusiasts will appreciate the increased torque for smoother terrain engagements, and the beefier tires for better grappling and handling.
just wait somebody will be disabling that speed limiter and throwing slicks on all 4 corners and sending it hard. itll happen and im ready to see it lol
Still runs a 12 sec 1/4 and will smoke tons of cars on the street to 60..0-60 4.0
Well you can have both because it's still pretty impressive on a drag strip haha
@@bobquattrini1787 ofcourse. No car on the rod does 0-60 in 4 seconds unless it's performance oriented or a modded sleeper
@@2024hekyeah Tesla would like to have a word. A non plaid Tesla pretty much anything can do 0-60 in less than four seconds.
Dougs quirky personality really grows on you so I subscribed to his channel and watch every video he puts out now
People: Jeeps are known to be slow
Jeep CEO: hold my mustache
I don’t care about this vehicle, I just like seeing Doug being Doug.
Props to the towel for keeping doug’s knee scrape free
That maniacal laugh Doug 😳😂
I ordered mine last week… trading in my 2020. Sooooooooo Excited‼️Thanks for the vid, now I’m Extra stoked!!! I’m 66 years young and I’m looking forward to getting deeper in the mud than ever. I am stoked about the torque and extra off road impressives‼️‼️‼️
I’ve watched this video 3 times and just saw that Doug puts a little kneed brace under his knee in the beginning . Good attention to the detail Doug !
I love the sleeper package and the passing power is great 👍
Zero to death wobble faster than usual!
Ha ha ha!
I've never had any issues of that, and neither has my wife. 🤷♂️
Cool Jeep. $30k extra for a V8 is just bonkers though. Even if it were a Hellcat V8, it'd still be steep.
It’s worth exactly what people will pay for it. Try pricing out a G wagon and this will seem like a steal.
@@yungboicontigo9278 Woooooow. So impressive. Lmao! First of all, most celebs have the IQ of a Fish, and are not car people, for the most part. Second of all, none of them are gonna take it off roading, as it has proper capabilities of doing it. 3rd of all, that “status” of these people, perfectly fits the stereotypes of the typical G Wagon owner that Doug primarily mentioned in his G63 AMG review. As much as I love the G class, these people may have the Bank as big as Scrooge McDuck, but their personalities are as poor as a Hobo.
Doug isn't the only reviewer to be reduced to maniacal laughter when driving this thing. The word stupid and fun get throw around quite a bit too. Pretty cool!
13:05 Doug the villain 🦹🏻♂️
I can't believe that you let Tyler Hoover beat you to the review of this Jeep. For shame!
Bad boy Doug leaving folks in the dust and giving the evil laugh - gold
12 second quarter mile at what mph? Seems like it's either gonna be sitting on the speed limiter, or had to have it removed to get that time
While I haven't seen the run, I will not be shocked if it hits the limiter before the end.
It’s a 13 sec quarter mile and mine will not let you go past 100 mph… but it way fast for a wrangler
@@henderse317 it's somewhat quick, but 100mph top speed is far from fast. I guess it'll surprise some folks stop light to stop light, but it just seems like it has no solid purpose. Jack of all trades but master of none. And for 80k I'd want it to be really good at at least one thing
@@Mike_Atwell huh?
@@Mike_Atwell what isn't it good at?
Doug DeMuro, your acceleration laughter seemed so authentic and I have not seen you enjoy something that much before.
I love that this video was like 16 minutes, it was everything it needed to be and no more.
First! I'm so early I got here before Doug even took you on a tour of the car to show you it's quirks & features, got it out on the road to drive it, or gave it a Doug Score.
🥈
4th bro
UA-cam Secret: Doug actually records himself reviewing, testing and scoring the cars ahead of time. He probably took us on a tour of its quirks and features days ago.
Watch the video before you comment
the biggest takeaway from this video is that men prefer how something sounds rather than how good it performs.
It's not just limited to112mph for the tires, though I'm sure it's a top of the list reason. The wheel base, width, ride height combination would be nothing short of dangerous at high speed.
If you do over 100 in this thing you're nuts.
there are a bajillion other SUVs that go 160+ easily and the only difference between this and those is the tires…
Every mom suv and jeep owner drives like they’re in a Viper
@@runfunmc64 As a Jeep Mechanic, going more than 90+ in a Wrangler is dangerous lol. Jeep did not build these machines with speed in mind. This vehicle is made for Off-Roading. High Center of Gravity, Chassis designed entirely for Strength and Off-Roading, Brick like shape with its weight and horrendous areodynamics. This is all excluding jeep wranglers infamous Death-Wobble at high speeds. Take a turn at 80+ you might just die lmao. Any SUV that can reach 160+ easily was designed with that in mind. @ Jeep Trackhawk.
Nuts is my middle name
@@runfunmc64 name one of those bajillion that can and I'll show you an "SUV" with little more off road capability than a Camry.
I have a 99 wrangler 4.0. I put all of my music gear in there. Roughly 500 lbs. probably more honestly. It didnt change performance at all. I was so impressed. How torque actually equates.
man I’ve been a lover of the trackhawk since it came out but this THISSSSS might be my favorite vehicle every now
that laugh as you pass everyone LOL!!!
That's just crazy. Imagine the typical "whoopsie I confused my brake with the gas pedal" kind of crash, in this.
Only good thing about this is that engine replacements for my dodge charger scat pack will be not as expensive in the future if every model has a 392.
All you gotta watch is 12:55-13:22 pure gold.
Shocks doesn’t lift a suspension , the springs do ,only thing a shock does is dampen the ride when going over rough things and helps keep the axle on the ground to prevent wheel bounce
Love how Doug’s videos are as good as his old
Literally all of the Wrangler community asked for a 5.7 for YEARS. Jeep, well, went straight to plaid and stuffed the 6.4 in it for $20-30k more than everyone wanted to pay.
It also has zero reason to sound as good as it does. And im happy that it does. Just a really ridiculous jeep and I really want it
Typical of Chrysler. They always surprise. They never cease to amaze 😁😁
Yep! I'd rather have the 5.7.
It’ll still sell out
Doug is the type of guy to call people about their extended warranty after they shop at Cars and Bids.
Doug leaving that LC and the Lexus in the dust was thee most golden moment ever recorded on this channel.😂
Finally you did a video on a 392 Rubicon bless Doug
Wouldnt a Sahara trim make more sense because its tuned for speed vs rock crawling?
Speed? The handling dynamics of this platform is questionable with moderate power. Big power and poor handling spells trouble for the average, mall crawling driver.
The Rubicon package gives lower gearing, it is actually setup for low speed and not desert running.
You cant make sense out of something that makes no sense. Understanding and justification is why this edition wasn't produced until now.
@@weirdshibainu I thought the big difference between Rubicon and Sahara was the suspension which is supposedly better for normal driving on the Sahara
@@volvo09 which is why you would be stupid to buy a Rubicon 392, considering the Sahara is also a top trim level, id assume you could pair Sahara + 392 and get a better overall vehicle
God bless everyone who looked at emissions, taxes and rising fuel prices and still said I want a V8 Rubicon, the world would be a much worse place without us.
13:03 This is actually the fastest perception of speed I have EVER seen in a Doug video ... and no, it's not the laughing, it's the adjacent cars, possibly synched to the Rubicon's engine note uptick.
Can you do a review on a 2006 Ford Escape hybrid please Doug?
FINALLY A NICE, SHORT, TO-THE-POINT VIDEO!
