Chrysler has upped the production of it's light-duty diesel engine mainly because of the popularity of the diesel option in Ram 1500 pickups and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs. Dealers say that diesel trucks normally sit on dealer lots for just 13 days before being sold. For comparison, other Ram 1500s stay on the lot for an average of 94 days.
Ram chief Reid Bigland says, "We've sent word over to VM Motori and they're in the process of ramping up, but realistically, nobody can turn a switch to do the things that it takes to get ramped up, but they're in the process of doing it."
Do you think that the success of these diesel vehicles for Chrysler could signal diesel popularity for other vehicles in Fiat-Chrysler's lineup?
