US Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators are made in Toledo. The Grand Cherokee is made in Detroit. The Cherokee is made in Belvidere Ill. The Compass is made in Mexico. And the Renegade is made in Italy.
Jeep makes Jeeps for China, in China. Chinese Jeeps don't come to America.... yet. Buck, however, makes Buicks in China that are shipped to the US.
China requires foreign auto manufacturers to make cars in China, if they want to sell cars in China.
Multiple countries, now. They have the big plant in the Bay Area, but they have components being made in the Netherlands and China. Two new massive factories are being built in Germany and Texas.
I'm not sure. I think they are assembled in america. Used to be a plant in cali right? Ok musky is packing up and taking his toys to Texas last I heard.
I have always bought new, but this will be my new ethos going forward. I have been wanting a diesel JLU Rubi for a while now, and I was actually going to go get one at the beginning of this year until I saw Jeep cuck out. I have been debating between waiting for the Bronco and this, but I think I have decided to buy a slightly used JLU locally, private party if possible.
The recent Cherokees all look like shit. You know why? Because they redid the aesthetics to appeal to the Chinese market, and they love gaudy, ugly vehicles.
The only reason I haven't sold mine is because it's paid off and I don't want a car payment for a new vehicle or a second-hand jalopy. I used to be very enthusiastic about Jeep as a brand, but after they bent over for Slow and Heels Up, it's like a veil lifted from my eyes. I paid entirely too much for a vehicle that is 1) based on a horribly outdated design; 2) will not work as an emergency situation vehicle because of its insane fuel consumption and 3) is suitable for off-roading mostly in groomed "adventure parks" where hipsters converge to drive on dirt roads and then brag about it like they just solo-crossed the Sahara desert AND climbed Everest all on the same day.
I still drive it but I can barely stand to look at the thing.
As a Jeep owner and enthusiast I was disappointed when I saw this
afaik, jeep is made in china
IIRC the last series that was made in the US was up to the mid 90’s; with square headlights.
Meanwhile the Japanese company Toyota is making trucks in the US, while Ford is collapsing and outsourcing to Mexico
Most Ford Trucks are made here. Actually, every single one for the American market is made here. Includes Ranger to F 750 trucks.

I drove a '78 Jeep CJ7 in college.
Chick magnet.
99 xj owner here. Never buying anything older than a 2001.
Edit: not buying anything NEWER.

My '86 was made in Canada
Fiat Christler. They are made in mexico.
where's Tesla made?

and owned by China and Italy. Jeep is no longer an American thing.
The Cherokee actually ranks among the most American-made vehicles.
i think it's ranger
but here's the deal
buying used is the most american you can do. that keeps the money "most local."

yeah but it's pretty racist... be less red

Wranglers are built in Toledo, Ohio, the Grand Cherokee is built in Detroit. The Compass and Patriot are built in Illinois.
Thank God...someone who knows something. My 98 zj is running strong.....wont buy a new one.
Well good to hear that I'm wrong about jeep being made in mexico.
To be fair, they're made all over the world and shipped to the US to be assembled. It's not really better in the grand scheme.
Jeep is the least American care you can buy, AND they support these commies. Joke all round.

As a two Jeep owner I was double disappointed to see this.
Same. Mine's from '95 and I don't give them my money in parts or service, but it's still disgusting.
You realize the Jeep Wrangler is the bathhouse of the 90’s for many, many gay men...?
