According to the company?s plan, the plant in Warren, Michigan will be made capable of producing a pickup truck currently built in Mexico.

The Warren plant will make the new Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer large SUVs. A plant in Toledo, Ohio also will get new equipment to make a new Jeep pickup.

The move by Fiat Chrysler follows a similar recent announcement made by a competing auto brand.

Meanwhile, the belvedere plant gets the crap volume seller.

No, it'll be the Ram 1500 and bigger.

Damn, vague language strikes again. The 1500 is already built at Warren, so making Warren "capable of producing a pickup currently built in Mexico" led me astray.

Warren builds some 1500 variants, but some are built in Mexico. Also, the 2500 and 3500 are Mexican-made only IIRC - so they'll just correct it so all the Ram full size trucks can be made there.
