Toledo Plant Still in Limbo Regarding Future Wrangler Production

By -

I guess no news is good news for Toledo when it comes to whether the city’s Jeep plant will continue to build the iconic Wrangler.

Speaking to media gathered for the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne said the company still hasn’t made a decision about the next-gen Wrangler being built in Toledo.

Of course, the biggest determining factor will be if FCA follows through on previous talk that the automaker would like to build the next Wrangler with an aluminum body structure, which the Toledo plant wouldn’t be capable of handling in its current capacity.

However, Toledo is determined to keep the Wrangler right where it is. City officials recently approved the spending of nearly $10 million on a 58-acre property and more than 32 acres in the city to convince FCA that Toledo is still capable of manufacturing the Jeep.
