JT Herucles: Answering the competition?

Now that Ford has the Ranger Raptor, Chevy has the new ZR2 and soon new ZR2 Bison, and Toyota coming out with their new version, will jeep release the JT Hercules that was rumored long ago? There is no way Jeep put the 392 hood on the Mojave for aesthetics only. That was a test of the body build out that would be needed to have a JT Raptor basically…..the Hercules.

Maybe if not the 392, the single turbo Hurricane The only reason Jeep wouldn’t answer this new challenge to the market is if they don’t want to continue with the gladiator line.

It was weird how that Hercules rumor came out and they was dismissed as rumors and lies.......but was it really or was it a future model that was accidentally got curtain pulled back for a second.

This is just hopeful thinking, but I'm thinking that jeep will wait until Toyota releases all their stuff here soon and then do their annoncment of the updated interior refresh to match the wrangler and the "Hercules" performance upgrade. Basically and Mojavicon with 392/Hurricane and the XR package....including a full float rear.

I saw a good thought online on what might be happening.
In 2011 they updated the interior of the JK, but kept the old engine (3.8) and 4 speed auto, then in 2012 they went with the new engine (3.6) and 5 speed auto.

Maybe they're doing the same thing now.
2024 model year has the new interior, 2025 will have new engines.

Time will tell.
