The latest Rubicon upgrade comes at a cost.
but can on a Jeep Wrangler: A V-8 engine. Other than that, Jeep has been playing catchup with the long-awaited return of the Ford Bronco, which may explain why the 2022 Wrangler can be optioned with 35-inch tires from the factory.35-inch tires, axle upgrades, and suspension lift, the latest Wrangler seemingly aims to topple the Bronco at any cost. And I mean any cost, because the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 Xtreme Recon I tested cost $83,400.
Here’s what I learned after spending some time tackling frozen and broken Midwest pavement in the 2022 Wrangler with a V-8 and Xtreme Recon package.Nobody should be buying a Wrangler for how it rides on the road unless they wish to shake their kidneys and listen to the wind howl. But the Xtreme Recon and 392’s packaging of large 35-inch BFGoodrich K02 All-Terrain tires with 17-inch wheels, a 1.
, but the Wrangler 392 and its 6.4-liter V-8 with 475 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque rips even harder to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Jeep found a way to make the Bronco feel slow. No Wrangler needs to be this quick, and the limits can be reached around a clover leaf as the tires begin to howl in protest. This is borderline childish, but in a hilarious “why does this exist” kind of way.
Between the upgraded axles, suspension lift, big V-8, and 35s the Wrangler Rubicon 392 Xtreme Recon is the most comfortable, thirsty, expensive, and ridiculous factory-built Wrangler you can buy, for now. It’s faster, louder, and thirstier than any Bronco. But for sure the environment, and possibly some loved ones won’t be a fan. The question is whether you or your budget care.Base price:
