THE one-millionth Jeep Wrangler JK model has just rolled off the assembly line at Chrysler Group’s Toledo, Ohio, Assembly Complex.
Chrysler executives, plant employees, UAW representatives and supplier partners gathered at the end of the line to mark the occasion.
Mauro Pino, Chrysler Group’s Vice President of Vehicle Assembly Operations, and Dan Henneman, Jeep Unit Chairman of UAW Local 12, drove the black 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition, bound for a customer in Sarasota, Florida, off the final line to the applause of employees.
“Since this facility opened eight years ago, the Toledo workforce has built every one of those million vehicles with pride, passion and a focus on quality. We all look forward to building the next million,” he said.
Named after America’s most demanding off-road trail, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition takes its place as the most capable Jeep production vehicle ever. The special-order limited-production vehicle is loaded with hardcore off-road equipment for its enthusiasts.
