Despite record sales, Jeep Wrangler's future cloudy - WBTW - Myrtle Beach and Florence SC
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – More Jeep Wranglers are being sold than ever before and company officials say employees in Toledo are working weekends to keep up with demand. The Blade newspaper in Toledo reports assembly employees are now building Wranglers every Saturday and many Sundays to keep up with demand. Last year, the plant built nearly 236,000 Wranglers. In the year’s first half, Wrangler sales rose nearly 20 percent to more than 100,000. The automaker is considering moving the Wrangler assembly line out of Toledo so it can be made with a partial aluminum body. Union officials say they hope their flexibility and willingness to cooperate will strengthen their argument that Toledo should keep Wrangler production. Source: wbtw.com
