If you require a Jeep and the need for speed, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 might be your perfect match. This beast has a 6.4-liter V8 engine that generates 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. 

According to Motor Authority, the Rubicon 392 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds. It also has a quarter-mile time of about 13.0 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 99 mph due to its tires. 

The Rubicon 391 features an 8-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s full-time Selec Trac four-wheel-drive system with a 2-speed transfer case. This Wrangler is built for speed, but it’s also a Rubicon. Meaning it’s also built for extreme off-roading. But it can be too fast for going over some surfaces. 

How does the Wrangler Rubicon 392 perform? 

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is well equipped to go over any surface. But the OFF-ROAD+ button should be engaged during low-speed activities. It helps to modulate the throttle, shift points, transmission, and traction control. It’s a pretty intelligent system that quickly detects what type of off-roading you’re up to over various terrain. 

But without the button activated, climbing over loose surfaces and obstacles can become a challenge. It requires more skill than expected, and the tires can start slipping. Basically, it can make it difficult to control power output to the tires for adequate control. 

The OFF-ROAD+ button limits wheel slip but restricting the throttle and adjusting the tractional control. In both 4Hi or 4Lo settings, it allows the Wrangler to easily climb up sandy hills with loose gravel. 

Also, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 provides an excellent performance over loose surfaces and flat ground. It feels like it has enough power to quickly race across the desert. The suspension absorbs impacts well, allowing you to keep on going without any issues. 

How is the Rubicon 391 built for off-roading?

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 has a 44.5-degree approach angle and a 37-degree departure angle. This beats the standard Rubicon by about 0.6 and 0.5 degrees. However, it doesn’t have a short ground clearance of about half an inch. It sits at 10.3-inches. 

It sits on 17-inch aluminum wheels that are wrapped in 33-inch 285.70R17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires and Fox shocks. It has stiffer front frame rails, upper control arms, and cast-iron knuckles to support the engine’s extra weight and prevent nose dives. Plus, it has a front and rear stabilizer bar. 

The Rubicon 392 starts at about $74,195. It also gets an EPA estimated 13 mpg in the city and up to 17 mpg on the highway. But listening to the mighty V8 roar and racing it across the desert might be worth more than the price.
