Drive On: Millionth Jeep is milestone worth celebrating

Making 1 million of anything is quite an achievement. But 1 million Jeeps is truly special.
It happened Friday at Chrysler Group's Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio. As soon as the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition rolled off the line, there was a big celebration.

Symbolizing the cooperation that made it happen, the black Jeep was driven by a Chrysler Group vice president, Mauro Pino, and the United Auto Worker's Jeep Unit chairman, Local 12, Dan Henneman.
After all, the Jeep Wrangler is a symbol of America. Its forerunner having played a crucial role in winning World War II, today's Wrangler stands for blazing new trails and rugged American know-how. It's a product of the heartland.

"Every Jeep Wrangler sold to customers around the world is born in Toledo, Ohio," says Pino. "Since this facility opened eight years ago, the Toledo workforce has built every one of those million vehicles with pride, passion and a focus on quality. We all look forward to building the next million."
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition -- the name is almost longer than the vehicle -- is aimed directly as off-roaders with features like steel winch-capable bumpers with removable end caps, additional ground clearance, new rock rails and off-road tires.
