Wrangler Production Set For Possible Expansion At Toledo

The planned Jeep factory expansion in Toledo could be expanded even further to accommodate more wrangler production, Plans for the expansion of the Liberty/Cherokee plant have been announced but there is strong indications that Chrysler will enlarge production facilities at the Wrangler plant to allow for production of more volume of the popular Wrangler model. Speculation is rife in Toledo that this could mean production of the highly expected Wrangler Pickup or expanded diesel volume for the US market.
Chrysler Group LLC's plans to invest $365 million in expanding and improving its Toledo Assembly complex and creating 1,100 jobs, This is great news for the Toledo community and is a real boost to yhe City.
The Wrangler had its highest monthly sales in the United States in July at 14,335 units, and both its domestic and overseas sales continue to grow, stretching the Wrangler plant's capacity and causing concern at Chrysler that the popular vehicle might be in short supply.
Further expansion at Toledo Assembly will allow Chrysler to raise production of the Wrangler, a highly popular -- and highly profitable -- vehicle that the automaker and its Italian owner, Fiat SpA, will use to market the Jeep brand worldwide.
