2026 Jeep Wrangler Moab 392: V-8 Returns in Limited-Edition Trail Beast

2026 Jeep Wrangler Moab 392: V-8 Returns in Limited-Edition Trail Beast

After months of speculation about the future of the 6.4L Hemi V-8, Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf has delivered a clear message: The V-8 isn’t going anywhere.

In fact, it’s roaring back stronger than ever.

For 2026, Jeep is launching the Wrangler Moab 392 a limited-edition, V-8-powered tribute that keeps the naturally aspirated 470-horsepower heart alive for at least one more year.

And yes it’s every bit as hardcore as you’d hope.

Under the hood remains the legendary 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, unchanged from its last outing:

• 470 horsepower
• 470 lb-ft of torque
• Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission

No turbos. No hybrids. Just raw, unfiltered American muscle perfectly suited to the Wrangler’s go-anywhere ethos.

This engine will continue to have a home,” Broderdorf confirmed. “Our community made their voices heard, and we listened.

The Moab 392 isn’t just a fancy trim. It’s trail-ready from the factory floor.

Key off-road upgrades include:

• 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels (for extreme traction)
• 4.56 axle ratio for superior crawling ability
• 2.72:1 Selec-Track full-time transfer case optimized for both rock-crawling and high-speed desert runs
• Two-mode exhaust system quiet for town, loud for glory
• Cold-air intake with water separator essential for deep-water fording

It’s not just capable it’s overbuilt, exactly how a proper 4x4 should be.

Exterior cues set the Moab 392 apart:

• Body-color hardtop for a clean, aggressive look
• Color-matched fender flares and rock rails
• Black front and rear tow hooks
• Available in exclusive new paint colors like Reign Purple, Goldilocks, Joose, Earl Grey, and Tuscadero

One thing’s clear: this Wrangler doesn’t hide in the woods.

Inside, luxury meets utility:

• Heated black Nappa leather-trimmed seats
• Premium Alpine audio system because even off-roaders deserve great sound
• 12.3-inch infotainment display with Uconnect 5 and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

It’s the most refined cabin a 392 has ever had without sacrificing toughness.

Even beyond the Moab 392, there’s good news for all Wrangler fans.

For 2026, every Wrangler now features an enhanced door hinge system designed to speed up door removal a long-requested upgrade from open-top enthusiasts.

No more wrestling with pins. Just quicker liberation from the glass.

Want even more capability?

• Sky One-Touch powertop, power-retractable soft top
• 8,000-pound WARN winch, ready for self-rescue or heroics
• All-weather floor mats, for when the trails get messy

This is customization at its finest built for those who demand everything.

Here’s the best part:

The 2026 Wrangler Moab 392 starts at $81,990, including destination.

That’s $20,000 less than the 2025 model, which started at $101,990.

Whether due to trim simplification or strategic pricing, this makes the V-8 Wrangler far more attainable  though still limited.

And make no mistake: this is not a permanent return.

It’s a thank-you note to the fanbase wrapped in steel, rubber, and Hemi thunder.

The Moab 392 isn’t alone.

It marks the first of 12 limited-run Wranglers scheduled for release throughout 2026, celebrating 85 years of Jeep innovation, adventure, and rebellion against pavement.

Each will bring unique styling, special badging, and exclusive capabilities but none may carry the emotional weight of the 392.
