Last Jeep Wrangler Commando 392 goes under the hammer
What's the story
Jeep has put its last-ever Wrangler Commando 392 up for auction. The vehicle, which boasts a whopping 705hp, is the only public-facing example of its kind. It was originally intended solely for eligible US military service members and veterans, with 249 units produced exclusively for them, while the 250th is now open to all bidders on Bring a Trailer.
Charity auction
Auction will conclude on November 22
The auction for the one-off Wrangler Commando 392 started on November 11 and will continue until November 22.
All proceeds from the sale will go directly to the United Service Organizations (USO), a non-profit organization that has been supporting service members and their families for decades.
The vehicle is painted in Army Green with Commando and USO graphics, bronze-finished wheels, and features a supercharged V8 engine that produces an impressive 705hp.
Corporate statement
Jeep's CEO emphasizes dual purpose of unique car
Jeep's CEO, Branden Cote, emphasized the dual purpose of this unique vehicle.
He said, "This final vehicle is intended to honor the people who serve while raising money for an organization that has supported the military community for generations."
The auction truck isn't stock; it features a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger from Fox Factory Vehicles, boosting output to a staggering 705hp.
Vehicle features
Vehicle comes with suspension lift and Fox internal bypass shocks
The auction truck also comes with a 3.5-inch JKS suspension lift and Fox 3.0 internal bypass shocks, specifically tuned for the extra weight and grip of 37-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires.
These tires are mounted on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels that can withstand lower pressures off-road without losing the bead.
The unique design sets it apart from the camouflage-inspired wrap on the other units reserved for service members and veterans.
