2026 Jeep Wrangler Moab 392 Cold Start - VIDEO
Putting a massive, chunky V8 into something like an off-road orientated version of the Jeep Wrangler may seem like unnecessary overkill, but it works.
Measuring 6.4-liters in displacement, the big V8 cranks out 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This year it’s available in the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Moab 392 and we recently got to spend a week behind the wheel.
Check out our short video below to hear just how menacing this eight-cylinder beast sounds when starting up for the day. A big Jeep, with big off-road tires, and a big meaty V8 powerplant is pure, unbridled Americana.
