4x4x470! New 2021 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon 392 Combines Legendary 4×4 Capability With 470-horsepower V-8 Engine for the Most Capable Wrangler Yet

PR Newswire

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

  • Unique exterior bronze accents denote Wrangler Rubicon 392

For enthusiasts who crave soul-stirring, legendary off-road performance and a new level of on-road performance, Jeep® introduces the V-8-powered 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392.

The most capable, quickest, most powerful Wrangler carries the 6.4-liter V-8, rated at 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. Mated to the crisp-shifting TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and Selec-Trac full-time active transfer case, the powertrain rockets the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and the quarter-mile in 13.0 seconds. Plus, this potent combination comes with a factory-backed warranty.

Away from the pavement, the Trail Rated Wrangler Rubicon 392’s potent powertrain meshes with heavy-duty wide track Dana 44 axles, a 3.73 final drive ratio, transmission torque converter lockup control, a 2-inch lift and standard 33-inch tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels.

The result is the most capable Jeep Wrangler ever with 10.3 inches of ground clearance; improved suspension articulation and maneuverability; approach, breakover and departure angles of 44.5, 22.6 and 37.5 degrees, respectively; and the ability to traverse up to 32.5 inches of water.

Jeep engineers put it to the test: the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 confidently climbs up and down steep grades with minimal throttle and brake input.

“This is the most powerful, quickest, most capable Jeep Wrangler we’ve ever built,” said Jim Morrison, Head of Jeep Brand – FCA North America. “The factory lift and abundant low-end torque from the V-8 makes the Rubicon 392 the king of the hills, whether you’re rock crawling at low speeds or powering up an incline. And, when pavement replaces dirt, Rubicon 392 makes quick work of the road.”

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 goes on sale in the first quarter of 2021.

Peak Power, Plenty of Torque

The addition of the 6.4-liter (392 cubic inches) engine marks the first time in nearly 40 years a V-8 has been a factory option for the Wrangler. Tuned specifically for the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 and its functional hood scoop, the engine is rated at 470 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.

Critical to on- and off-road performance, nearly 75 percent of the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s peak torque is available just above engine idle speed; this delivers exciting performance, whether enabling a 4.5-second 0-60 mph time or crawling up steep grades.

The performance of the 6.4-liter V-8 is based on a cast iron cylinder block and aluminum heads, accented with an active intake manifold, variable camshaft timing, twin spark plugs per cylinder, sodium-filled exhaust valves, hollow-stem intake valves and piston oil cooling jets. The Wrangler Rubicon 392 engine is fitted with a rear-sump oil pan, high-mount alternator and free-flowing exhaust manifolds.

Fuel Saver Technology with cylinder deactivation seamlessly shifts to smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when engine loads are light, such as cruising on the highway. A tank-mounted high-performance pump keeps the V-8 fueled under even the most demanding conditions.

A functional hood scoop feeds the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s engine with cool, denser, outside air, which leads to enhanced performance.

Jeep engineers ensured the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s V-8 gets fresh air, regardless of the terrain and weather. The Wrangler Rubicon 392’s Hydro-Guide™ air intake system includes a tri-level ducting system with a series of drains, including a one-way drain in the air box that separates water – up to 15 gallons per minute – away from the engine’s incoming air. This enables the Wrangler Rubicon 392 to traverse water up to 32.5 inches deep worry free, even if a bow wake washes over the hood.

Should the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s functional hood scoop become restricted by snow, mud or debris, a secondary air path within the hood structure feeds the engine, making it possible for the Wrangler Rubicon 392 to reach top speed even with a fully blocked primary air path.

An active dual-mode exhaust is standard to deliver an exhilarating and unmistakable sound. The system engages automatically, opening valves in the exhaust system, under higher engine loads to reduce exhaust back pressure. The driver can also activate the system with the press of a button. The dual-pipe performance exhaust system is finished off with unique quad exhaust tailpipes.

Geared for Performance
A high-torque capacity TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic transmission delivers quick, crisp gear changes during both normal and performance driving conditions. This transmission also enables the driver to change gears via the new steering wheel-mounted aluminum paddle shifters, a first for the Jeep Wrangler, or the Electronic Range Select shifter.

The fully electronic, eight-speed automatic transmission features on-the-fly shift-map changing. The sophisticated transmission software relies on several input parameters to determine the appropriate driving conditions and adjusts shift pattern in response. The result is automatic shifting ideally attuned to the performance requirements of almost any driving demand.

The transmission’s gear ratios afford the right response at the right time, from crawling over obstructions on the trail to smooth power delivery at highway speeds, a product of smaller ratio steps between the gears.

The Wrangler Rubicon 392’s powertrain calibration includes Torque Reserve and AMax shifting, accessible when doing a brake torque launch, that delivers maximum acceleration for solid-pavement launches. Torque Reserve, an engine strategy used by drag racers, manages fuel flow to the cylinders and controls spark advance or retard to balance engine rpm and torque to maximize power delivery and launch performance. AMax shifting, a performance-enhancing strategy used on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, maximizes forward torque by coordinating shift time and engine torque management. 

Paved Road Power That’s Ready for the Rubicon

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392’s drivetrain puts the power down to all four wheels, all the time.

The heart of the driveline is a Selec-Trac full-time, active transfer case with a 2.72 low-range gear ratio. The transfer case has four driver-selectable modes: 4WD Auto, 4WD High, Neutral and 4WD Low. This full-time two-speed transfer case is intuitive and allows the driver to set it and forget it, while constantly sending power to the front and rear wheels. The Selec-Trac transfer case also allows for Wrangler Rubicon 392 to be flat-towed.

Off road, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 delivers the legendary capability Jeep is renowned for. This includes:

  • Off-road Plus with Sand and Rock modes: The push of a button maximizes the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392’s tractive capabilities. The modes adjust throttle, transmission shift points and traction control for peak performance on higher speed passes on sand terrain, as well as during low-speed rock crawling. The Off-road Plus drive mode also gives drivers the ability to lock the rear axle at high speeds while in “4H”
  • Selec-Speed Control manages vehicle speed in “4L” while traversing off-road terrain without requiring throttle or brake input. Selec-Speed Control is activated using a button on the dashboard and can be adjusted from 1-5 mph simply by using the Electronic Range Select shift control.

The Wrangler Rubicon 392 masters low-speed downhill descents by using the 6.4-liter V-8’s engine braking, revised transmission torque converter lockup control and a 48:1 crawl ratio to manage vehicle speed without the driver needing to use the brake pedal.

Durable Frame for the Most Powerful Wrangler Ever 
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 chassis includes upgraded frame rails, front upper control arms and cast iron steering knuckles to take full advantage of the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s power and torque. Heavy-duty brakes bring the Wrangler Rubicon 392 to a composed stop no matter the terrain.

The Wrangler Rubicon 392’s off-road prowess flows from wide track, heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles with thicker axle tubes and Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials. An electronic front sway-bar disconnect maximizes suspension travel for the most demanding off-road conditions.

Augmenting the Jeep Wrangler’s proven five-link front and rear suspension, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 comes with a 2-inch factory lift and is fitted with specially-tuned high-performance FOX aluminum monotube shocks to maximize handling and comfort.

Bronze Identifies Something Special
The 2021 Jeep Rubicon 392 keeps to the original design theme of Wrangler with bold and functional cues, a wide stance and its recognizable trapezoidal wheel flares. The factory 2-inch lift adds to the vehicle’s character and presence.

The Wrangler Rubicon 392 carries bronze accents to mark the most powerful Jeep Wrangler ever. Bronze traces “Rubicon” on the hood, covers the front and rear tow hooks, and FOX Shocks’ decal outline. It also outlines the Jeep badge and the Trail Rated badge.

Adopted from the Jeep Gladiator Mojave, a 40-mm raised hood with aggressive appearance and a fully functional hood scoop provide cold air intake and greater water fording capability. It also carries a “392” badge on each side, signifying the most cubic inches ever offered in a Jeep Wrangler.

The grille design delivers greater airflow and cooling of the 392 V-8.

Bronze wheels measure 17 by 7.5 inches and are beadlock capable with an optional black locking ring available through Mopar.

The leather-appointed interior includes unique bronze stitching. The leather seats with Rubicon 392 nomenclature keep drivers comfortable with performance-inspired, integrated upper bolsters to hold occupants in place. To accommodate new engine specs, the gauge cluster receives all-new numbering and design. Available on the Jeep Wrangler for the first time, the leather-wrapped, performance steering wheel features wheel-mounted paddle shifters for fast access to the eight-speed transmission and management of 470 lb.-ft. of torque.

The Uconnect system projects on a standard 8.4-inch screen. Loaded in the software, Jeep Off-road Pages allow owners to monitor pitch, roll, altitude, GPS coordinates, drivetrain power distribution and more.

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 is available in nine exterior colors: Black, Bright White, Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal Metallic, Punk ‘n Metallic, Sarge Green Metallic, Snazzberry Metallic, Sting-Gray Metallic and Billet Silver Metallic, all with a black interior.

  • Leather interior
  • Infotainment Group
  • HD electrical switch bank
  • Body-color hard top
  • Body-color flares

Square unveils Square KDS, a Kitchen Display System for Square for Restaurants subscribers

Square unveils Square KDS, a Kitchen Display System for Square for Restaurants subscribers

Square’s first product-line extension for restaurants improves efficiency, communication, and accuracy for restaurant sellers of all sizes

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Today Square announced the general availability of Square KDS, kitchen display system software that seamlessly displays and organizes order tickets no matter where they’re placed – whether that’s from a restaurant’s point-of-sale, Square Online site, or online ordering platforms like DoorDash and Postmates.

“With restaurants facing shelter-in-place orders, uncertain reopening schedules, and razor-thin margins, it’s more important than ever to stay organized and never miss a sale,” said Bruce Bell, head of restaurant products at Square. “Square KDS is built to help restaurants improve front and back of house communication, improve ticket times, and manage order flow from one central location, regardless of what the future holds.”

Square KDS is especially useful for any restaurant that manages a high volume of orders across multiple channels and wants a modern solution to replace paper tickets. “Customers are ordering in more ways than ever before,” said Albert Borrerro, owner of the Sandbar Sports Grill in Cutler Bay, Florida. “Between increased delivery orders, in-store pickups, and now the gradual return of indoor dining, our kitchen staff was getting overwhelmed by managing order flow. Square KDS has helped us to improve order efficiency, speed, and most importantly reduce sunk costs due to remakes or refunds.”

In addition to providing better connection between cooks and customers, and improving order efficiency, Square KDS also provides restaurant owners with increased insight into their business. Ticket timers allow restaurants to stay ahead of the dinner rush, and kitchen performance reports show how long stations are taking to complete orders, resulting in faster, more accurate performance across the board.

Because every restaurant is different, Square KDS also allows restaurant owners to customize ticket layouts and text sizes based on their kitchen’s unique needs and route specific items to different stations quickly and efficiently, helping to manage kitchen flow in real-time.

PubMatic Joins Industry-wide Unified ID 2.0 Initiative for an Alternative to Third-Party Cookies

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PubMatic, the sell-side platform that delivers superior outcomes for digital advertising, today announced its support for Unified ID 2.0. Developed by advertising technology leader The Trade Desk, Unified ID 2.0 is an open source, interoperable alternative to third-party cookies. Advertisers and publishers who work with both PubMatic and The Trade Desk will benefit from the scale on both the demand and sell-side with Unified ID 2.0.

This partnership establishes Unified ID 2.0 as a default identity offering to more than 180 publishers using PubMatic’s Identity Hub solution. Unified ID 2.0 can be enabled by publishers with a single click via PubMatic’s Identity Hub, and will pave the way for PubMatic publishers to seamlessly implement a leading privacy-first identity solution to increase yield and revenue.  

“Our support of Unified ID 2.0 builds on the longstanding cooperation PubMatic and The Trade Desk have had as two of the leaders in advertising on the open internet,” said Andrew Baron, VP of Marketplace at PubMatic. “PubMatic is committed to scaling up cookieless identity solutions to help drive superior outcomes for our customers. With Unified ID 2.0, The Trade Desk brings tremendous advertiser and agency scale to our growing list of Identity Hub publishers.” 

Unified ID 2.0 is a new approach to identity that represents an improvement to third-party cookies, preserving the value exchange of advertising on the open internet, while providing improved consumer privacy controls. Unified ID 2.0 is non-commercial, open source, interoperable, and will be administered by an independent organization.

“Unified ID 2.0 represents a collaborative effort among open internet industry leaders to create a new model of identity that benefits consumers, advertisers and publishers,” said Dave Pickles, Co-Founder and CTO, The Trade Desk. “Working with supply-side leaders such as PubMatic, we will help bring publishers an identity solution that offers transparency and interoperability that preserves the value of relevant advertising for them, while improving control for their consumers.”
  
“Programmatic advertising has become such a prominent revenue source for so many publishers, that a sustainable identity solution beyond the third-party cookie is paramount to keeping a free and open internet,” said Mediavine CEO Eric Hochberger. “We see Unified ID 2.0 as the next evolution of the third-party cookie for the advertising industry, and we’re excited to partner with PubMatic and The Trade Desk to begin testing and transacting prior to the upcoming Google Chrome changes.”

Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative’s 2020 Contributions Surpass $250,000

Program Supports Efforts Protecting Access to Land for Outdoor Recreation Across U.S.

MARIETTA, Ga., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, announces funding for the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative (OAI) grant program’s third quarter, supplying essential resources to local and national outdoor recreation and land stewardship organizations working to create and protect access to public land for outdoor recreation.

“Enjoying the outdoors has become a primary source of entertainment and recreation for many this year, with some public lands seeing record traffic from enthusiasts,” said Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s Motorsports marketing manager. “The Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is the leading resource for land managers to help ensure trails and facilities are appropriately preserved and new opportunities are created to meet these rising demands.”

The third quarter 2020 Yamaha OAI grants, totaling more than $83,000, were awarded to the following organizations:

  • Joshua Tree National Park – Twentynine Palms, CA
  • Lawron Trail Riders – Bovey, MN
  • Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife – Marriott-Slaterville, UT
  • Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation – Halifax, VA

“These dealer-approved projects will provide a range of support for Yamaha customers and riding enthusiasts from staging area shading and educational structures at Joshua Tree National Park, to snowmobile and OHV bridges on a trail system near Duluth, Minnesota,” Nessl said. “Some of these projects are part of larger improvement programs, and others are standalone efforts that wouldn’t happen without the support provided by the Yamaha OAI grant program. It’s important and necessary work, and we proudly align with our dealer network to make a real, positive impact on our customers’ outdoor experiences and opportunities.”

For more than 10 years now, Yamaha has been issuing quarterly grants to non-profit organizations supporting the program’s mission. Yamaha has funded more than $250,000 in grants this year, and over the life of the program, Yamaha has contributed more than $4.5 million in aid to more than 380 projects across the nation. Yamaha’s OAI-supported efforts work to improve access to public land for outdoor activities including riding, hiking, biking, camping, hunting, fishing, and motorized recreation.

The deadline for submission to the 4th quarter 2020 funding cycle for the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is December 15, 2020 – applications must be postmarked by that date. Submission guidelines and applications forms are available at YamahaOAI.com.

About the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative

For more than a decade, the Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative has led the Powersports industry in guaranteeing responsible access to our nation’s land for outdoor enthusiasts. Through this program, Yamaha has directly and indirectly supported thousands of miles of motorized recreation trails, maintained and rehabilitated riding and hunting areas, improved staging areas, supplied agricultural organizations with essential OHV safety education, built bridges over fish-bearing streams and partnered with local outdoor enthusiast communities across the country to improve access to public lands. Each quarter, Yamaha accepts applications from nonprofit or tax-exempt organizations including OHV riding clubs and associations, national, state and local public land use agencies, outdoor enthusiast associations and land conservation groups with an interest in protecting, improving, expanding and/or maintaining access for safe, responsible and sustainable public use. A committee then reviews each application and awards grants to deserving projects. Examples of appropriate projects for grants include, but are not limited to:

  • Trail development, restoration and maintenance
  • Trail signage and map production
  • Staging area construction, renovation and maintenance
  • Land stewardship, safety and education

Tacton Offering Free Customized ‘CPQ Test Drive’ SaaS Prototype Through Dec. 31

Trial Allows Organizations to Experience the Leading CPQ Solution Risk-Free, Specifically Tailored to Their Unique Individual Needs

CHICAGO and STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tacton, a global leader in CPQ-based Smart Commerce solutions for manufacturers, today announced an unprecedented program that provides interested organizations with a hands-on test drive of the industry’s leading CPQ platform at zero cost. The limited “CPQ Test Drive” program is a free offer through Dec. 31 that provides organizations with a risk-free trial. Through this program, Tacton will design a customized, live SaaS prototype then hand over the keys to the customer for 30 days.

Analysts and their impressive customer base agree that Tacton CPQ was built for manufacturers.

Gartner, Inc. recently positioned Tacton as a “Visionary” in its 2020 Magic Quadrant for CPQ report, the third year in a row that Tacton has appeared in the Quadrant and second as a Visionary. In addition, the company was identified as a Fall 2020 Leader in CPQ software based on its high levels of customer satisfaction and likeliness to recommend ratings from real users on G2, the world’s leading business solutions review website.

“We are offering this program to give manufacturers the opportunity to easily and affordably see for themselves why analysts recognize Tacton as the best CPQ for complex manufacturing,” said Bo Gyldenvang, Chief Executive Officer at Tacton. “We want to bring the customer behind the curtain in this experience and give them the power to broadly assess the impact that CPQ can have on their business, at the same time allowing them to evaluate why our solutions and specialized domain expertise contribute to Tacton’s customers being leaders and disruptors in their industries.”

Tacton delivers the most comprehensive consumer-grade platform that allows manufacturers to make it easy for their customers to visualize and customize highly complex products and receive accurate pricing information in real-time. A long list of world-class manufacturers such as Siemens and Volvo Penta already use the Tacton platform to improve the CPQ experience for their customers, improving relationships, making processes more efficient and, ultimately, driving revenue.

With Tacton’s CPQ Test Drive offer, organizations will:

  • Experience a live CPQ prototype based on the customer’s product.
  • See first-hand how CPQ transforms the customer buying experience and empowers sellers.
  • Work with CPQ experts with 20-plus years of industry experience supporting the world’s largest manufacturers.
  • Use CPQ to strategically transform the business with an in-depth look at critical points to digitalize and add value for customers.
  • Learn what it takes to set-up, administer, and maintain the leading CPQ solution in the industry.
  • Walk away with 30 days of access to a live, working system.

Those interested in Tacton’s CPQ Test Drive offer must register prior to Dec. 31, 2020, although workshops will be scheduled to take place into 2021. Space is limited — interested organizations can learn more and inquire about the offer at https://www.tacton.com/knowledge/custom-prototype/.

Sabal Capital Partners Approved as Freddie Mac Optigo® Conventional Mortgage Lender

License Expands Sabal’s Loan Offerings, Enables Company to Meet National Borrower Demand for Multifamily Loans

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sabal Capital Partners, LLC, a diversified financial services firm specializing in commercial real estate, lending and investing, today announced it has been approved by Freddie Mac as an Optigo® Conventional Mortgage lender. The recently obtained approval showcases Sabal’s continued expansion of its commercial real estate debt offerings and pipeline and enables the lender to offer core conventional loans to qualified borrowers for the acquisition, refinance and rehabilitation of multifamily communities.

The Freddie Mac Optigo® core multifamily loan products now offered by Sabal include debt solutions in Fixed-Rate, Float-to-Fixed and Floating-Rate. Licensed in 37 states, the lender is now actively serving borrowers across the country with these finance offerings. To start, Sabal will focus primarily on meeting mid-tier loan demand, where needs are currently underserved and the lender’s platform efficiencies will prove beneficial.

“Sabal’s ability to offer conventional Freddie Mac Optigo® multifamily loans signals another key milestone success for our rapidly growing lending platform,” says Pat Jackson, founder and CEO of Sabal Capital Partners. “We have been serving the small balance multifamily loan sector proficiently for many years. With these new core loan products we are now able to also serve borrowers looking for larger balance conventional multifamily mortgages, especially in the mid-tier loan range where demand is notably high today.”

The conventional Fixed-Rate Loan product provides fast and flexible financing for a wide range of apartment properties, offering five- to 10-year terms with non-recourse, except for standard carve-out provisions. The Float-to-Fixed Rate Loan product is ideal for multifamily assets in need of light repositioning, though property enhancements are not required. Payments made during the first two years are floating-rate and those during the following seven years are fixed-rate. The Floating-Rate Loan offering is well suited for borrowers who wish to take advantage of lower, shorter-term rates with prepayment flexibility. The non-recourse loan, excepting standard carve-out provisions, is offered in five-, seven- and 10-year terms.

“Sabal has been a valuable part of the Freddie Mac Optigo® Small Balance Loan Program these past few years,” says Rich Martinez, senior vice president of production and sales for Freddie Mac Multifamily. “Their team, technology and success in handling significant loan transaction volume makes them a natural fit for providing mid-range conventional apartment property loans as well.”
