Frequently asked questions
What Is the 2026 Wrangler Willys 392?
The Willys 392 answers a request Jeep heard loud and clear from its community: give us the back-to-basics Willys formula, but with a V8. So Jeep took the purest, most heritage-focused expression of the Wrangler — the Willys — and dropped in the mighty 6.4-liter HEMI. The result is what Jeep calls the most powerful V8 Wrangler ever, delivered at a more accessible price than the V8 Wranglers that came before it.
It is a “sleeper” in the best sense: it prioritizes real mechanical capability and raw power, wrapped in classic Willys style, and it arrives from the factory ready for the trail.
The 6.4L HEMI V8
The star of the show is the naturally aspirated 6.4-liter HEMI V8, producing 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Unlike a turbocharged engine that needs a moment to build boost, this V8 delivers instant throttle response — the kind of immediate, muscular power that makes conquering dunes, rocky terrain, and steep backcountry grades feel effortless. A two-mode dual exhaust lets you choose between a subdued tone and a louder, performance-oriented note that lets everyone know you are coming.
Off-Road Hardware
The Willys 392 arrives “done” from day one, with a comprehensive list of standard trail hardware:
- 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels
- 11.1 inches of ground clearance
- Dana 44 heavy-duty axles, including a full-float rear axle, with a 4.56 axle ratio
- Selec-Trac full-time transfer case
- Winch-capable steel front bumper plus steel bumpers and rock rails
- Cold-air-intake hood with a water separator
That means big tires, serious axle hardware, and steel bumpers are all included before you even start thinking about accessories — a Wrangler built to go straight from the showroom to the trail.
Willys Heritage Style
True to its name, the Willys 392 wears its history proudly. It comes decorated with Willys hood decals, a heritage 4WD rear decal, a Trail Rated badge, and a 392 hood badge that signals the V8 within. Inside, Jeep adds premium touches like Nappa leather, an Alpine nine-speaker sound system, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation — blending that classic, purposeful Willys character with a genuinely modern, comfortable cabin.
Part of the Twelve 4 Twelve Program
The Willys 392 is the fourth of twelve limited-edition Wranglers in Jeep’s Twelve 4 Twelve program — a yearlong celebration of the Jeep brand’s 85th anniversary, with a new special edition dropping every month. It is the second V8-powered drop in the series, following the Wrangler Moab 392 — so if you love the idea of a HEMI Wrangler, these two are the ones to know. Like every drop, it is produced in limited numbers, so acting early is the smart move.
Each Twelve 4 Twelve drop has its own collectible Jeep duck — the Willys 392 duck sports a gold cap with a 1941 silhouette, a nod to the model’s military heritage.
