It's alive! Jeep Wrangler 392 Final Edition isn't final yet, will continue for 2025

It's alive! Jeep Wrangler 392 Final Edition isn't final yet, will continue for 2025



Think back to summer 2020. Dodge had announced the 710-horsepower, $82,490 Durango SRT Hellcat and said the super SUV would be limited to 2,000 units. The run sold out in 90 days. In early 2021, then-Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said emission regulations prevented the automaker from extending the run into the 2022 model year: "There are new evaporative emission requirements that come in that the Hellcat engine does not meet in that platform." When, somehow, those wacky Dodge dealers managed to finalize more than 2,000 orders for the Hellcat-powered family wagon, Dodge kindly agreed to fulfill every order. Then, when Dodge announced another run for the  2023 model year — emissions, shemissions! — a customer who bought a 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat announced he'd sue Dodge for imploding his resale value. After which Dodge announced another run of Hellcat Durangos for the 2024 model year.

We recap that recent history to prepare you for the news that Jeep's giving the Wrangler 392 Final Edition another model year. Jeep only announced the rig three months ago for the 2024 Wrangler, capping production at 3,700 units: 3,300 for the U.S. at $101,890 apiece before options, 300 for Canada, and 100 for other international markets.

Bill Peffer, head of Jeep in North America, said, "When news broke in March that Jeep Wrangler 392 was roaring off into the sunset, the comments, coverage and conversation showed us that the Jeep community isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to the V-8-powered Wrangler. Jeep brand listened and will continue the 392 Final Edition into the 2025 model year."
