Test drive: The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is a V8-powered king of the hill
The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is the most powerful Wrangler ever. Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu took the V8-powered truck to the Monticello Motor Club to see what it can do.
The Jeep Wrangler has been one of the hottest-selling vehicles in the U.S. this year and now it has a color to match.

All Wrangler models can now be ordered in a limited-edition color called Tuscadero Pink.
A similar hot pink color was previously offered on the 2010 Dodge Challenger as Furious Fuchsia and will only be available through November as a $395 option.

"With the Jeep brand celebrating its 80th anniversary, it’s the perfect time to launch a confident and custom color on the most iconic Jeep vehicle – both of which are designed to break the mold and stand out on the road and trails," Jeep North America Vice President Jim Morrison said.
"What’s unique about colors like Tuscadero is that they draw a huge enthusiast following because they’re exciting, authentic and stand out, much like the Jeep community."
