One Lucky Civilian One of the most interesting Jeep Wranglers in recent times has been listed for auction. The Wrangler in question is the 392 “Commando,” the only example from a limited run of 250 units being offered to the general public. The vehicle, developed by Fox Factory in collaboration with Stellantis, also boasts a supercharger that boosts output to 705 horsepower. The Commando was designed to honor U.S. military personnel and veterans, combining Jeep’s military heritage with high-performance off-road upgrades. In fact, the other 249 units are reserved exclusively for purchase by active-duty U.S. service members and veterans, making this one for sale via Bring a Trailer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for civilian buyers. Heavy Artillery Based on the Wrangler Moab 392, the Commando is equipped with a 6.4-liter V8 engine paired with a Whipple supercharger, which, as mentioned, boosts output to 705 horsepower. That’s 235 hp more than the standard model. The vehicle may not be factory-built by Jeep, but it was developed with the automaker’s support, making it a unique creation, especially since Jeep has never mass-produced a supercharged Wrangler. The more potent powertrain is complemented by off-road upgrades, including a 3.5-inch JKS suspension lift, Fox 3.0 internal bypass shocks, and a Fox ATS steering stabilizer. The SUV rides on a set of 17-inch bronze beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in 37-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. These upgrades should improve off-road capability by providing better ground clearance, traction, and stability over rough terrain. Other mechanical features include an 8-speed automatic gearbox, Tru-Lok front and rear locking differentials, and a Selec-Trac four-wheel-drive system. Inside, the heated power-adjustable front bucket seats are finished in custom tan-and-black leather upholstery with Mayan Gold contrast stitching and Commando embroidery. Like the regular model, the Commando is also equipped with an Alpine premium sound system and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Final Mission The Wrangler 392 Commando, which has around 220 miles on the odometer, is being auctioned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles until November 22 with no reserve. The winning bid, along with Bring a Trailer’s buyer’s fee, will go to the USO. As of this writing, the bid is at $120,392. This listing comes amid Jeep’s 85th anniversary celebration. The automaker marked the milestone with a year-long rollout of new special editions, one each month, through the Twelve 4 Twelve program, which concluded with the flashy Wrangler Switchback.
