2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 to start above $70,000?
The V8 appears to command a $30,000 premium
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/for...now-77k.63524/
The Hemi-powered 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 appears as though it will be priced in the mid-$70,000 range, we learned early Wednesday, commanding a premium of nearly $30,000 over an equivalently optioned Rubicon with the 3.6L V6.
A future owner on JLWranglerForums.com shared a screenshot of his 2021 Rubicon 392 build in Jeep's VIN tracking system showing a price of $77,055. While it was labeled in the interface as a Wrangler Unlimited Sport model (the base four-door trim), he says that the "27X" order code is for the 392 package.
The user says he ordered his Wrangler with the optional Dual Top package (which comes with both the removable hardtop and classic soft top, as its name suggests) and the trailer tow package. Combined, these add $3,365 to the sticker price of a '21 Wrangler per Jeep's own configurator, which would point to a starting MSRP of $75,185 after Jeep's standard $1,495 destination fee.
If that seems steep, well, it is. A Rubicon with the 290-horsepower 3.6L V6 and the same options checks in at $47,075 after destination. The cheapest trim that can be ordered with the same options, the Sport S, costs just $40,640 all-in. Jeep's other powertrain alternatives include the no-cost 2.0-liter turbo, the $1,500 eTorque mild hybrid V6 and the $4,500 EcoDiesel.
In other words, if this report is accurate, the 470-horsepower 6.4-liter V8 will cost six times as much to option as the 260-horsepower oil burner. Both make more than 400 pound-feet of torque, but the premium for nearly doubling the diesel's horsepower is a bit eye-watering. For further context, Jeep's own 392-powered Grand Cherokee SRT checks in with a base price of $70,905.
Autoblog reached out to a FCA spokesperson for confirmation, but he was only able to promise that official pricing will be released "early in the new year."

That makes no sense. The 392 hemi costs eight grand to buy outright: https://www.modernmusclextreme.com/p...te-engine.aspx
A 3.6L V6 Pentastar crate motor costs around five grand. So the incremental cost for just the engine, by itself, is $3,000. No way the incremental cost in a vehicle is ten times that.
In the Ram 1500, the 3.0L Diesel costs $3,200 more than the 5.7L Hemi--the 6.4L is not available. So I would expect the 6.4L to cost maybe $1500-2000 less in the Wrangler, than the same Diesel engine. Or a $2500-3000 upcharge over the V6.

2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 priced at nearly $75,000
Official pricing for the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is out, and, unsurprisingly, the most powerful production Wrangler is also the most expensive. It appears to only be offered in one variant for now, the Rubicon 392 launch edition, and the price starts at $74,995. That's nearly $20,000 more expensive than the next priciest Wrangler, the High Altitude 4xe, which starts at $55,065. A V6-powered four-door Rubicon starts at $43,710.
Jeep does at least include quite a bit of equipment for that price tag. Obviously the big draw is the 470-horsepower V8, which comes with a fancy air and water separator for the intake and dual-mode exhaust. It also gets a strengthened frame, Fox 2.0 off-road shocks, a 2-inch suspension lift, 33-inch tires, beadlock-capable wheels, and the typical complement of Rubicon parts such as front and rear locking differentials, and electronic disconnecting anti-roll bars.
Performance and off-road features aren't the only things the Rubicon 392 gets. The exterior features steel bumpers and body-color fender flares, a body-color hard top and LED headlights. The interior is spruced up with a heated steering wheel and heated leather seats featuring the Rubicon 392 logo embroidered on the backs. The 8.4-inch infotainment screen is in the center stack along with a set of auxiliary switches ready for connection to lights, winches, and other off-road accessories. It also picks up adaptive cruise control, full-speed automatic emergency braking and automatic high-beam headlights. Options are limited to the Dual Door Group (aka the Wrangler's half-door option), the Dual Top Group (adds a premium soft top to the Rubicon 392's standard hardtop), the Sky Power Top (a hardtop with a huge the retractable soft panel), the Trailer Tow Package, and a couple different brands of off-road tire.
The Wrangler Rubicon 392 will arrive at dealerships this spring.
