4xe to 392

[Jerzey Girl]

How do you find the acceleration at like 50mpg to 90mpg? Like for highway passing? I have a rental 4xe while waiting on my 392 to arrive in a week or two. It seems the acceleration from like 0-60 is similar to the 4xe, but I don’t get to really open it up on the test drive.

I bet the only thing I’ll miss about the 4xe is the 17mpg

I think my 2500 GMC Denali gets 17 mpg

I'm

Awesome. I'm currently negotiation a trade for my 4xe for the moab as well. Why does Edmunds give the 392 such a low score? A 5.5? My 2024 Shara gets a 7.9. I'm just curious.

I just test drove 392 here in Illinois. I can honestly say, reading about them does not do them enough justice. Christ on Friday was that fun. I have not had that much fun since I owned my Mustang GT CS. It is really a powerful awesome sounding truck. I'm still buzzing. I wasn't expecting that.

If you like v8 sounds there is no comparison. 4xe = boring to me. It's plenty quick on full battery but even a tesla plaid which is the quickest thing I've ever ridden in doesn't feel as awesome as the 392. The soundtrack and aggressive feel of the 392 are second to none in my book. Just a ridiculous fun and silly but practical other than fuel economy way to get around.

I just test drove a 24 392 an hour ago. First time. Im still in shock at the sound and moreso of the power.

Yeah, if you make that mistake... you might be hooked.. /evil grin. I know I was.

I did a bunch of reading - and wrote down what I discovered along the way. Worth a read: https://www.jeep392.com/threads/jee...t-or-are-considering-a-392-are-you-nuts.5490/

Lol the same thing happened to me…. I test drove one on Dec 10th and had one in the driveway on Jan 6th

I had 3 other guys in the Jeep last night, and they keep asking, " Are you sure this is stock? " Its not a perfect truck but it sure is fun.

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I recently picked up a black 2024 Jeep Wrangler 392 and I’m absolutely loving it! I previously owned a 4xe, but the 392 is on a whole different level — the power and sound are just addictive.
My first mod was a jump to 37" tires, actually stolen from my 4xe . I'm waiting for the MC Game Changer 3.5" lift.
Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing the journey with this awesome rig.

Same here. 4xe to MOAB (ordered for keeps in mid Jan, and currently waiting for it)

I haven’t driven a 392, but was always curious.

I owned multiple other JKURs, and leased this 2024 4xe RX.

The 4xe is so much fun to drive, and best Wrangler I had to date.

I leased with intention to buy the 4xe in the end to take advantage of the incentives, but after almost 3 years of having it, and all the recalls, AND the crazy depreciation, I’m just going to turn it in after the lease is up in a few months.

It has already depreciated about $12,000 below value of what I would have to pay at the end of the lease to keep it. That is crazy. Glad I only leased.

I figure I will be pleasantly surprised with the MOAB.

I ordered it with the One Touch top, and the upgraded Vinyl floor. I haven’t seen anyone talk about vinyl flooring in the 392, but from all I read, and seen, it seems like a no brainer to me.

Too funny...my '25 F350 HO diesel get 18 MPG average at 80+ MPH. I can get 26, but that's at 55 MPH. 392...uuuhhh...10 MPG.
