The Jeep brand of Stellantis in Auburn Hills has unveiled its limited-production 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 392, billed as the quickest and most powerful Wrangler yet, and the last.
Production, which will begin in the second quarter at the Toledo Assembly Plant in Ohio, will be limited globally to 3,700 units; 3,300 for the U.S., 300 for Canada, and 100 for rest of the world. The U.S. MSRP is $99,995 (excluding $1,895 destination) and is open for order now at Jeep dealers.
The vehicle is powered by a 6.4-liter V-8, rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, and can go 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. It also offers a 48:1 crawl ratio.
“Jeep Wrangler 392 remains atop the mountain in terms of all-out performance, power, and unmatched capability,” says Bill Peffer, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand – North America. “These are game-changing strengths that our most impassioned Jeep enthusiasts asked us for, and that the competition was unable to match.
“To celebrate the existence of this powerhouse, we’re sending the raucous, 392-powered Wrangler off in style with this special Final Edition, limited to just 3,700 units globally.”
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler 392 Rubicon Final Edition will be recognized by unique Final Edition hood and front fender vent decals and, via the standard Xtreme 35 Package, bronze 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in 35-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
Additional standard exterior equipment on Wrangler 392 Rubicon Final Edition include:
- Factory-installed 8,000-pound-capacity Warn winch

For the 2024 model year, all Jeep Wrangler models receive enhancements, including a new iconic seven-slot grille, standard side curtain air bags, a 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen radio, and more.
Black Nappa leather, 12-way power performance seats, new Mayan gold stitching, and Tupelo highlights throughout the cabin are unique to the 2024 Jeep Wrangler 392 Rubicon Final Edition. A special shifter medallion and swing gate plaque denote the 392 Final Edition’s place in Wrangler’s 80-plus year history. A Mopar fold-out swing gate table and Mopar Jeep 83-piece toolkit are standard, with a Mopar on-board air compressor optional for trailside tire pressure management.
For 2024, new standard equipment on Wrangler 392 includes:

Jeep engineers ensured the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s V-8 gets fresh air, regardless of the terrain and weather. The Hydro-Guidea air intake system includes a tri-level ducting system with a series of drains, including a one-way drain in the air box that separates water — up to 15 gallons per minute — away from the engine’s incoming air.
An active dual-mode exhaust is standard to deliver an exhilarating and unmistakable sound. The system engages automatically, opening valves in the exhaust system, under higher engine loads to reduce exhaust back pressure. The driver can also activate the system with the press of a button. The dual-pipe performance exhaust system is finished off with unique quad exhaust tailpipes.
A high-torque capacity TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic transmission delivers quick, crisp gear changes during both normal and performance driving conditions. This transmission also enables the driver to change gears via the new steering wheel-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, a first for the Jeep Wrangler, or the Electronic Range Select shifter.
Off road, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 delivers the capability for which Jeep is known. This includes Off-road Plus with Sand and Rock modes.
