Looks like they are getting ready to turn out a 392ci 470hp version of the 4dr Wrangler. Expected to be in the high $60k range in price. 6.4L Wrangler HemiThis is the same Hi-Po 392/6.4L engine that goes in the Scat Pack Challengers and Chargers. One notch below the 700hp+ Hellcat models. Sounds like fun and it's very 'MERICA, but you could buy a new Scat Pack Challenger for $44k and add a nice used Wrangler for that $70k total...... I have been kicking around putting one of those 6.4 crate motors and OD transmissions in my '70 Dart.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Jeep were once a nice small off road vehicle. Now they are a small overpowered, over priced, and shoddy built POS! Just the opinion of an x jeep driver! Kind of like civilian Hummers. The only good ones are recieved in the back seat!

The irony is that for half the people who get one of these, it'll be a pavement princess because it costs so much they don't want to break it.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

Oh for crying out loud, they won't hold a candle to my 90 year old dad's 1952 M-38.
That Jeep is hysterical, at 6-1 I can hardly get in or out of it. People sure were short back then........

Not many see use as a work truck. Of the millions out in use. Shined up and not a spot of dirt on them. I ordered my Jeep just last week. Put a diesel in it. That's what I wanted. It'll be in SW Colorado soon. Trades are high, 2017 rubi model, went to Colorado several times. New one is a Rubi, 2021 with options and a diesel. Going to be just what I want. Been through the Internationals, Toyota's lots of Jeeps.

I like 4 banging my little 2.5 L I can wheel all weekend with one tank of gas if I stay off the highway. It gets better mileage in town than highway

"Factory governed to 99mph" is likely a good call. Lol... Can do a lot of rolls @ 99 mph!

I have a 1997 Wrangler. We paid $3,000 for it, with 60k miles.
We bought it as a TOAD for behind the motorhome. 4 banger, no A/C, Line-x interior, 2,800 lbs as it sits so we can legally tow it with a stiff bar and no brakes..
I added a moderate lift, some good shocks, great tires. Sold the half doors and hard top for $1,500.
It is a 3 season vehicle. Motorhome tow, spring through fall around town and in the hills 4 wheeling.
After selling the doors and top, with the upgrades, I think I have $3,500 in it.
If it was $3,501, it would be a buck too much. Never was a big Jeep fan (still not) but this is the only vehicle that meets all of our criteria as an open air TOAD for the motorhome.
I would NEVER buy a new Jeep, and certainly not for $60k. Or even a used one for $10k. But different strokes for different folks.
I'm happy with mine, for what I have in it and what it does!

I cannot wrap my head around new car prices.
Would be fun to own no doubt
