    The really good news is that Jeep vehicles are still being produced in Toledo. Now in one of the most modern and competitive assembly plants in America. Looking forward to the Toledo Jeep Fest on August 13th to celebrate 75 years of continuous Jeep production in Toledo. Should be a great event.

    Hi Jerry,

    I have to say that our 2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo hit 90,000 miles this weekend and we have enjoyed almost every mile in it. The one mile I didn’t enjoy was when I couldn’t climb Mosquito Pass in Colorado (needed true 4WD rather than All Wheel).

    We plan to upgrade to a newer jeep as soon as we can and, hopefully, a Limited or greater. If only I could get Jeep to realize how much great advertising I’ve given them!!

    – Dave
