In an industry skewed toward sport-utility vehicles, this quarter proved that American muscle is far from losing its might. The Dodge Challenger reported a record third quarter while the Charger notched its highest level of third-quarter sales in 13 years. Over the past decade, Challenger and Charger sales have increased more than 60 percent.

FCA designers transplanted many of the creature comforts and technologies featured in the Ram 1500 light-duty pickup truck into the heavy-duty lineup. Chief among the changes was the 12-inch touchscreen with its quick access to navigation, climate and satellite radio.
Heavy-duty customers, including farmers, ranchers, construction workers and small business operators, have responded enthusiastically to the ability to do more work from their front seat during the day and take their families and clients to dinner in the same well-appointed truck in the evening.
Rounding out the quarter's sales records was the Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler has been a strong seller since its redesign last year, but the nameplate received a boost this quarter from the start of a special-edition campaign. New limited-edition models include, for example, the 2020 Wrangler Black & Tan and the Wrangler Willys.
Jeep intends to offer more Wrangler special editions in 2020.
For the quarter, overall sales were 565,034 vehicles for the three-month period covering July, August and September. Retail sales accounted for 438,649 vehicles while fleet accounted for 22 percent of total sales. Fleet sales, on a year-to-date basis, accounted for 25 percent of overall sales.
"Lower interest rates, a stable economy and consumer enthusiasm bolster our belief that new vehicle sales in the U.S. are heading for a strong finish," Head of U.S. Sales Reid Bigland said. "For us, vehicles like the new Gladiator, our Ram pickups and Dodge muscle cars are pulling customers into showrooms. Our customers are also choosing to purchase higher trim levels or extra features, which are increasing our transaction prices."

Funny the Durango was down 7% and the Grand Cherokee is up 8% almost like they share capacity :p

Brampton is finally recovered from the Magnesium fire.... Charger and Challenger outpacing the 300 lose.

Amazing that FCA is able to buck the industry trend.

LOL

There are still some individuals who think that Grand Cherokee can be better seller. Like it's not capacity constrained.
I can't understand them.
 
I had not heard about that... do tell...

Last year the primary supplier for Brampton and Ford went down with first a fire and then a explosion. The interruption in supply was felt into the fall.
 
Wait i though challenger and charger havent been getting the attention they deserve and need all new interiors to compete?

It just can't be possible that they outsold the competition....:)

I heard about the supplier fire...but I thought I had read it was only a Ford supplier exclusively.

No one said they need a refresh to compete, they need a refresh to keep bringing those same buyers back
 
I've noticed all the 300S airport rentals have been replaced by Chargers. GT AWD's, GT's and whatever the V6 one is called that looks exactly like a scat pack. Lots of durangos too including R/T's and they're hitting the dealer lots en mass

How many of the 18k last quarter are returning customers? How many are brand new/conquest customers? I don't know, but current car is selling. They'll update the interior when its needed. I think they may have tweaked it for 2020 on some models?

Challenger gets an updated dash for 2020
Charger has it already.
 
Leather wrapped I suppose.
