JEEP

Jeep is among the well-known companies and is a part of FCA US LLC (the old name is Chrysler Group, LLC). It gave a good account of itself in the American automobile market. The company is a subsidiary of the joint Italian and USA corporation Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

In 1987, Chrysler bought Jeep and other assets from American Motors Corporation (AMC), the former owner of Jeep.

Currently, Jeep focuses only on sports cars and SUVs. However, there was once a time when it produced pickups.

Jeep occupies a luxury SUV cars niche with its Grand Cherokee model. The assumption is that Wagoneer created this part of the market.

Jeep’s global sales amounted to 1.4 million SUVs in 2016, which is 900,000 items more than 2008 results. Geographically, the company sold the most items in North America (about ⅔). Moreover, Fiat-Chrysler became the best-selling brand in the United States in the first part of 2017.

In the US, dealership spreads to a large scale (there are more than 2,400 dealers today). They hold franchise rights to sell Jeep cars. According to experts, this situation leads to the fact that if the Jeep demerges FCA its price amounts to 33.5 billion dollars.
No matter how paradoxical it may sound, but the FCA total cost in the USA is shade less.

Jeep is such a specific and popular brand that it became a household name or generic term long before. It’s a “generalized character” for Jeep-like SUVs.

If your dual bolt pattern is 4-100/114.3 it means you can choose between 2 various parts (4-100mm or 4-114.3mm). But you need a snap meter to take the dimensions of the 5-bolt pattern.
