Behind The Scenes: Jeep Wrangler (JL) Production:
A Look At The Toledo North Assembly Plant, Home Of The Jeep Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited (JL)...
The Toledo Assembly Complex is made up of two assembly plants. There is the Toledo South section of the complex, which built the 2007 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (JK). That portion of the complex is currently being retooled and updated to produce the all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator (JT) pickup truck that will make it’s official debut later this month at the L.A. Auto Show. The Toledo North section of the complex, currently produces the Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (JL) for the entire global market.
The history of the Toledo Assembly Complex dates back to 1942. The Stickney Plant was built in 1942 and acquired from Autolite in 1964 for use as a machining and engine plant. In 1981, it was converted for vehicle production, building the legendary Jeep Grand Wagoneer until the summer of 1991. The facility became the Toledo Assembly Plant when Chrysler Corporation acquired American Motors Corporation (AMC) in August 1987. In the fall of 1997, Toledo North Assembly Plant was built for the production of the Jeep Liberty (KJ), which launched in April 2001. The 2007 Dodge Nitro (KA) launched in August 2006 and the 2008 Jeep Liberty (KK) launched in July 2007. The last Dodge Nitro rolled off the line on Friday, December 16, 2011. Production of the Jeep Liberty (KK) ended on August 16, 2012. The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee (KL) began production on June 24, 2013.
