Jeep Makes the Most All American Vehicles

In today’s industry vehicles are manufactured all over the world, but often times consumers are looking for vehicles that are made right here at home. The American made standard is still alive and well in this country. Nearly 25% of all consumers surveyed by Cars.com said they would only consider buying a vehicle if it is made in America. It’s an important factor to consumers. When you buy American made you know that your money is helping the American economy and supporting hard working Americans. Cars.com named the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee as the #1 and #2 American made vehicles.

The American-Made Index ranks cars based on where they are being manufactured and where their parts are sourced from. They base their rankings on five factors: assembly location, domestic-parts content, U.S. factory employment adjusted by sales to reflect how many employees each sale supports, engine origin and transmission origin.

90% of Components Sourced in the US

The Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee had the highest figures of all manufactures when it came to domestic parts content. All engines and nearly all transmissions for the Wrangler and Cherokee hail from the U.S. The Wrangler is assembled in Toledo, Ohio; the Cherokee was also built in Toledo until April 2017 when production moved to Belvidere, Ill.

Chrysler Automobiles’ Toledo, Ohio assembly plant is one of the biggest in the U.S. 50,000 vehicles every month are manufactured in Toledo. Jeeps have been manufactured at this plant since 1941. Jeeps are American made, and that factor drives sales and helps support the lives and families of thousands of Americans.

Employees at the Jeep manufacturing plant in Toledo are fiercely proud of the heritage behind the Jeep brand. The employees are hardworking Americans who have fought to guarantee that both the manufacturing and the parts sourced for manufacturing are American made. Nearly 90% of the components that make up the Jeep Wrangler are sourced from within 1,500 miles of the Toledo manufacturing plant.

322,000 Americans are directly employed by automakers, 521,000 Americans work at automotive suppliers, and new-car dealers employee another 710,000 Americans.
