AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 8 -- Chrysler LLC's St. Louis
North Assembly Plant reached a manufacturing milestone today, building its
one millionth Dodge Ram. The achievement was celebrated at the plant with
employees on both shifts.
"The Dodge Ram has consistently been one of Chrysler's best selling
products and America's favorite trucks, since its introduction in 2001,"
said Frank Ewasyshyn, Executive Vice President - Manufacturing, Chrysler
LLC. "Our Dodge brand sales increased five percent over last year led by
Dodge Ram which posted a gain of 20 percent, year over year."
As testament to the Dodge Ram's popularity among consumers, the vehicle
has received numerous awards, including "Best Work Car" by Cars.com and
"The Motorist's Choice Award" by Intellichoice. Four Wheeler Magazine named
the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 TRX4, one of "10 Best Buys in Four Wheel-Drive."
"After overseeing production of Dodge Rams for the past three and a
half years, I'm convinced how much people love the vehicle," said Chuck
Kowalski, St. Louis North Plant Manager, Chrysler LLC. "It is a symbol of
how important Chrysler has been to the economy in the Fenton area."
