Bronco EV should be good competition for new Hummer and other electric SUVs from GM. Hopefully Ford can get BEV Bronco into production in the next couple years.

jcartwright99 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Yeah more power is great for the Jeep "Concept"....however, going fast in a Wrangler is the absolute last thing I want to do. I love how they quote 0-60 time. Ford could put the 3.0 from the Explorer if they really need to. Totally not worried about Jeep. I'm just waiting when FCA puts a Hellcat in a Pacifica....it will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Putting more weight in front and more power on a vehicle with known high speed front suspension warble. Seems like a good idea FCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thought some of you might find this interesting, but I just saw a youtube ad from Dodge (Stelantis?) advertising the Jeep 392 Concept. It didn't show much but it sounded mean! And I think that's the point. So rather than a 1-off announcement to take attention away from the Bronco, it looks like they have an ad campaign behind it too. I think it's safe to say it might really be coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Not that I think it is a bad thing, but I’m guessing the V8 isn’t going to slow the impact of the Bronco in any meaningful way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JX1 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) 392 Wrangler is not solely a concept and I hear 6/2021. After 4 years in production, JL wrangler gets a midlife refresh for 2022 next summer. Next-gen is probably 2026, but with covid-19 anything is possible. BTW, found this online on another forum. Seems a bit old, but really credible. Source says it's from 2016, but it predicts accurately.

If you don't like jeep or care about V8s, that's fine... But why belittle fellow Ford and bronco fans that do?

If it took this long for FCA, the company known for and has no problem stuffing a big V8 into just about anything, has taken this long to /maybe/ put a big V8 in the Wrangler, doesn't that tell you anything?

Are you asking if the absolute king of the hardcore 4x4 vehicle market thinks it's a good idea to put a V8 in the wrangler at this time, does that tell us anything? I think it could say something different than what you're implying. We all know the reasons and excuses, but the fact it Ford was late to the game here, despite all of us telling them for years we need a new Bronco. Jeep owns the market, and they have a huge and loyal following for a reason. If Wranglers were terrible vehicles as some people here like to say, Jeep wouldn't sell so many. In this case, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt, because they've earned it. They have far more recent insight into the off-road market and community than Ford does at the moment.

That only further proves my point. If this was something that just HAD to be had by the off-road community, FCA, the company that loves to stuff a V8 into pretty much anything, would have done it already.
