4-door Wrangler Sizzles: SUV Accounts for 82 pct. of Ohio Plant's Output

TOLEDO, Ohio -- The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited four-door has gone from hot to hotter.

The Chrysler group's Toledo Supplier Park is cranking out 600 vehicles per day. Of those, 82 percent are four-door Unlimiteds and 18 percent are two-door units.

Earlier Chrysler reported the mix was about 60 percent four-door and 40 percent two-door. The four-door Wrangler is available in hard- and soft-top versions.

"Demand for the hardtop four-door is much higher than we expected," said Cynthia Sidoti, Toledo Supplier Park plant manager.

The 2007 four-door Wrangler began arriving in dealerships last September.

In June, Jeep sold 10,952 Wranglers, the best June results ever for the Wrangler, according to Darryl Jackson, Chrysler vice president of U.S. sales.

Dealers say they've had a difficult time getting the top-of-the-line Rubicon version of the Wrangler, which is trail-ready and has Chrysler's MyGIG entertainment and information system that includes navigation.

"The market is overwhelming," Sidoti said. For 2008, the MyGIG system will be available without the navigation.

The Toledo Supplier Park is closed this week for model changeover. Workers will return July 23 and begin building 2008 models.

One change that dealers will notice immediately is a new Wrangler color. It's Detonator Yellow, which is fitting for one of Jeep's most explosive-selling vehicles.

my predictions regarding the anticipated success of the all new jeep compass, patriot and wranger unlimited came true! yet, i would never say i told you so  :P ! truly, even i was suprised by the enormous increase in wranger sales.

Its a Landrunner bodykit, they are relatively popular.

You can fit 33 inch tires under one without a suspension lift,and they improve the approach and departure angles too.

The Unlimited's wheelbase is longer, decreasing the breakover angle by 7?, making it far less useful for rock crawling, which is the only thing the Wrangler is really good at anyway.?

But its still better at it than any other 4-door ute on the market at its price.

Indeed.  The only competition I can think of is the Xterra and maybe the FJ Cruiser abortion, if it's even available for that price.

B: would be eaten alive.

I don't like how big the Wrangler got.  The new one is 6" wider then the old one.  Wranglers are supposed to be small and nimble....offroad anyway.  Can't argue with sales, but the truck itself has lost something.

Neither do I, which is why I think Jeep can afford to make a smaller, more CJ-like model alongside the "big" Wranglers.

...FJ Cruiser abortion...

abortion? it's alive and well! in fact, i'm actually very amazed by it's apparent success. i see them everywhere. it's only available as a two door. it was introduced during this aweful gas crisis. toyota appears to be pro-life, man!

Its not a two door. Its a foor door trying to look like a two door. The rear doors are smaller suicide hung pieces. It was introduced well before the current gas crisis.

Original FJ Landcruisers were two-doors (or no-doors), and were actually cool.
