    Opinion. A Jeep spokesman told us that the four-cylinder in the 2018 Wrangler JL is called “eTorque” — including the belt-starter-generator mild-hybrid system. The gasoline motor itself is prosaically dubbed, “2.0-liter turbocharged engine with eTorque assist”. The official portrait simply...

    Earlier this week, a rumor began circulating around the internet that a bunch of Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawks had been stolen from their assembly plant in Detroit.

    Recent Chrysler disclosures showed that the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL will come in lighter than the Wrangler JK, by around fifty to a hundred pounds. The result is in the range expected three years ago by ex-AMC engineer Bob Sheaves, who thought it would gain some weight due to tougher safety...

    A report out of Australia suggests FCA may not have axed production of right-hand-drive Chrysler and Dodge models after all, contrary to statements made by the company's South African division two weeks ago.

    The Jeep Scrambler — or Wrangler Pickup, depending on how Auburn Hills wants to play it — is supposed to be produced roughly a year after the Wrangler JL starts up. The delay will give FCA a chance to wind down Wrangler JK production, do some much needed plant maintenance and upgrades, and such...

    Juliet is the English translation of the Italian name “Giulietta,” which is also the name of Alfa Romeo's second-smallest car. Built at FCA's Cassino plant, the Giulietta is a hatchback roughly the size of a Volkswagen Golf. The latest version was first introduced in 2010, built on a...

    Ralph Gilles, Head of Design for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, took an interesting question to the 'net Tuesday to seek a little input from the Mopar community - and anybody else who wants to weigh in. His question is about handheld technology, rather than body work. Obviously there is some debate...

    A week after Allpar landed an exclusive photo of the 2019 Ram 1500, Automotive News and numerous other sources showed spy shots of a different Ram 1500.
