This article doesn't indicate that Trump had much to do with it but he does inspire confidence with Chrysler's top execs.

Fiat Chrysler announces $1 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, 2,000 new jobs
Published January 08, 2017 FoxNews.com

Fiat Chrysler said Sunday it would spend $1 billion on U.S. manufacturing, including modernizing plants in Michigan and Ohio, in a move that’s set to add 2,000 new jobs, Reuters reported.

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.

On Tuesday, Ford said it would cancel a $1.6 billion plant planned for Mexico and instead invest $700 million in a Michigan assembly plant. Though CEO Mark Fields said the decision would have gone ahead whether or not Donald Trump was elected president, Fields also said Trump's "pro-growth policies" gave the company's executives confidence.

The president-elect has taken many auto manufacturers to task for Mexican production and encouraged building more vehicles in the U.S. He tweeted at General Motors after the Ford announcement on Tuesday, threatening a "big border tax" for producing cars in Mexico and then selling them in the U.S. GM pushed back on that characterization of its business model.

Sunday's announcement by Fiat Chrysler also follows news a day earlier that the company was recalling 100,000 mostly older trucks and SUVs to replace Takata air bag inflators.

Trump hasn't taken office yet and he's already done more for the economy than the lawn jockey in 8 yrs of wasted service.

Some of the parts are being made in Mexico too, as far as I know. At least that's where the Dana Corporation/Spicer Axle Division moved their factory around 2002.

They were producing axle carriers, steering knuckles and drive shafts for Dodge Ram, Jeep Liberty and Ford Ranger/Explorer.

Just prior to the moving they got a contract for some GM parts also but I don't know if that went to Mexico or Ft Wayne Indiana

Lynchburg Foundry in Virginia casts the parts and ships them to Mexico. Well, they did 20 years ago. We had a truck wreck in Tennessee, spilling camshaft castings all over the place. A real bitch to get them picked.

Damn right Mac, refreshing ain't it.

Trumpism, it's catchy.

Go Trump!

Jan. 20th promises to be a great day, looking forward to it.

You know what's gonna be funny Mag?

So many of the butthurters here will be waitin in the wings for every opportunity to cut and paste posts waiting on Trump to make a mistake on anything trying to right this chitshow.

In their other failings they will never mention that their chosen candidate wouldn't have ever made it period, and we would have had killary for prez!

Trump's winning was an automatic trigger for investment money to come back from offshore and into production capitalism. That money follows climates and Trump is a climate all unto himself and the USA has aligned itself back to private sector.

Kent

The plant I'm talking about that they closed was in NC.
They also closed the assembly plant in VA

Where is the excitement over this part of the announcement: "...a new Jeep pickup"?

The Porch Monkey Legacy continuous to be flushed down the toilet, love it

I wonder how Poor Yobama feels about all this. Kinda make him look bad

Jeeps track record with trucks leaves a bit to be desired.....

Bet bigly and WIN it'll be a modern spinoff of this one-

Didn't they also make a cabover model way back when?

Along the same line, Ford's decision to not build a new plant in Mexico doesn't mean that the Focus will be an American car. They're just expanding the Mexico plant instead of building a new one.

DETROIT – The Bronco is back!

And so is the Ranger.

Ford announced on Monday at the Detroit Auto Show that it will launch a new Ranger small pickup in 2019, followed by a Bronco SUV based on it in 2020.

The news comes several months after the plans were unofficially revealed through comments made by UAW workers who will be building the trucks at Ford’s Michigan assembly plant -- home to the original Bronco from 1966-1986.

That's not all: Ford F-150 Diesel coming in 2018

The factory was at the center of controversy recently when President-elect Donald Trump criticized Ford for moving production of its Focus cars built there today to a new facility the automaker planned to build in Mexico. Ford has since decided to scrap the new plant, and will instead expand an existing one in Mexico to accommodate the Focus production.

The Ranger was last offered in the U.S. in 2011, but a new version of it has been sold overseas ever since. The Bronco was put out to pasture in 1996, two years after one took part in the infamous O.J. Simpson low speed police pursuit through Los Angeles.

Ford didn’t offer any technical details or images of the vehicles, but suggested that the Bronco will offer serious off road capability.

Blast from the past: First Ford Bronco surfaces after sale

yes my uncle had one. Butt ugly.

Gunner,
The Left will treat Trump just like the did Reagan, but with 21st Century venom and churlishness. On every 5 actions, Trump is probably going to be right on 4, miss on 1 and will then try to fix that. As a CEO, he'll take that result again and again. That will give the Left plenty to attack, but Trump doesn't care about the Left's criticism, nor is he concerned with how each action will "reflect on the GOP". He'll go in guns a blazing.

They will never see the good that Trump will do because it doesn't fit the agenda and the mental illness that is growing inside them blinds them as well.

Road & Track Review HERE

What the MSM pundits miss is that each one of these plants in Mexico that are cancelled or closed is another installment payment that Mexico has made on The Wall.

"Mexico Will Pay For The Wall"

He may not have done it directly but I'm sure changing the cooperate tax laws has a ton to do with it.

I still won't buy a Dodge.

All of the current full size pickup trucks are junk! When you build them so high that the average person needs a step ladder to use them, they've become nonfunctional. Over the years I've had five Dodge trucks - all reliable and user friendly; one GMC - more car than truck; and one Toyota - good solid truck.

They sure charge a lot of money for that junk, then...

In reality, pickups are far better now, than in generations past.

Getting 250-300k miles out of a pickup is the norm now.

And the bleeder in charge of Government Motors is betting on the lefty market.

Yes, the FC150 and FC170...1/2 ton and 3/4 ton.
