Jeep might have a rough-and-tumble public image to maintain, but there is careful craftsmanship put into their popular Wranglers. Last month, the official Jeep blog took a look inside the Jeep Wrangler Assembly Facility in Toledo, Ohio and saw how Wranglers come together.
The Toledo assembly facility is quite impressive. Every day, the 2,500 workers produce 720 Wranglers, and while the workers do have state-of-the-art equipment, there is quite a bit of work done by hand. For example, the plant’s quality specialist Diego pointed out, “The craftsmanship of a windshield – a machine just can’t do, so we do it by hand.”
Despite their high level of production, their assembly facility is working incredibly hard to keep up with demand for Jeep Wranglers. Currently, they are running at maximum capacity, but there are few complaints from Diego who quipped, “Not many people can say, ‘hey, I’ve got a problem, I can’t build enough cars.’” It is a testament to how popular the Jeep Wrangler has become in recent years and how many loyal fans come back to the Wrangler when shopping for a new car.
