2017 Wrangler almost unchanged

For model year 2017, the Jeep Wrangler is essentially unchanged. Car and Driver says there will be two new options: a set of LED headlights, and a cold weather package. Otherwise, the Wrangler 2 and 4 door models are the same as 2016.

The redesigned Wrangler probably won't appear until a new production line is constructed in the Toledo plant where the Cherokee is made today. Cherokee production will move to a plant in Illinois, making room for Jeep to assemble Wranglers of current and new design on parallel lines for a while.

I expect once the new line is running, the old line will be reconfigured to produce the new model Wrangler. This should give enough capacity to produce at least 300,000 Wranglers annually, including the new Wrangler pickup.

In calendar year 2015, Jeep sold 202,000 Wranglers in USA. Through August 2016, 134,000 Wranglers were sold, so Jeep is on pace to sell 200k Wranglers again this year. That's from a single production line, running as fast as humanly possible.

Well it sounds like they need to start building them as inhumanely as possible, so they can keep up with demand. :elkgrin:
Wonder what the price increase will be like.

When will they ever add a heated steering wheel!? The Trailhawk I've been driving as a loaner has this and I absolutely love it!
