- Jeep is screwing over customers who shelled out big bucks for the 2024 Wrangler 392 Final Edition.
- Instead of being killed off, the Wrangler 392 is returning for 2025 due to “popular demand.”
- This isn’t the first time Stellantis has pulled a switcheroo as they previously threw Dodge Durango Hellcat buyers under the bus.
If you paid top dollar to secure a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 392 Final Edition, prepare to go into an expletive-laden rant as the company has announced the model is returning for 2025. That’s a slap in the face to customers, especially those that paid hefty markups which are still hovering around $10,000 or more.
While the move is sure to provoke outrage and potentially a Dodge Durango Hellcat-style lawsuit, Jeep is putting a positive spin on things and saying they’re extending production due to “popular demand.”

Jeep’s Bill Peffer doubled down on that by claiming, “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.”
The company didn’t have much to say about the high-performance SUV, but noted it will “continue to offer much of the standard equipment found on the 2024 392 Final Edition.” As a result, buyers will find an 8,000 lbs (3,629 kg) Warn winch, heavy-duty rock sliders, and a half-inch suspension lift.

They’re joined by 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels that are wrapped in 35-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires. Other highlights include an electronic front sway-bar disconnect system and Dana 44 axles with Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials.
Inside, there are black Nappa leather seats and a specially monogrammed shifter medallion. They’re joined by a swing gate plaque and a Mopar fold-out swing gate table.
Power is provided by a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 developing 470 hp (350 kW / 476 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. It enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds and run the quarter mile in 13 seconds flat.
Jeep didn’t mention pricing, but orders will open this fall and production is scheduled for early 2025. The company also noted the Mopar triple loop grille guard and 83-piece toolkit will remain exclusive to the 2024 392 Final Edition, which likely won’t placate owners of the not so final, Final Edition.
