Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Rumored to Be Discontinued After 2024
Just a couple of years after we finally got the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, the V8-powered off-roader of our dreams may be going away.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 was quite literally willed into existence by we enthusiasts as the V8-powered off-roader that we’ve begged for over the course of many years, and were finally gifted by Stellantis back in 2021. Since then, that particular model has been showered with praise and is still highly coveted by many, but let’s be honest – the proverbial writing regarding the demise of the Mopar V8 in general has been on the wall for some time now. As such, it may not be surprising to learn that 2024 may be the final year of production for the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, according to a document discovered by a member of the JL Wrangler Forums.
The document in question was reportedly sent out to dealers advertising the arrival of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition, of which dealers are slated to get one allocation – at least if they beat their Jeep-related sales growth targets in January. This challenge is broken down by region and dealers that sell a certain number of Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models will be the lucky winners of what figures to be an instant collectible.
This is quite similar to what Stellantis is doing with the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition, the literal end of the line for its V8-powered pickup before it’s replaced by the (likely) I-6 Hurricane-powered RHO, and before that, the Last Call Charger and Challenger models. Sadly, the era of Mopar V8 performance is quickly coming to an end after the discontinuation of those models, coupled with the Chrysler 300, to boot, leaving only the Durango SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat to carry the torch.
Of course, we don’t know if this is indeed an official document, and there has been no official word from Stellantis that it is, in fact, discontinuing the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. However, given its recent moves and dedication to going electric in the coming years, it certainly makes a lot of sense.
What’s most surprising about all of this is that dealers are still marking up existing inventory, and sales of models like the Charger and Challenger remained strong until the end. Unfortunately, that may soon be the case for the V8-powered Wrangler as well, which is likely something that we’ll never see again – at least from the factory.
