No more Chrysler autos made in America. Well sort of. Get down near the bottom and you find they will still be making Jeeps and Dodge (RAM) trucks in the USofA.

That's not surprising. Someone in the kitchen has been cooking the books.

Hmmm, is bigger necessarily better? Maybe for profits.
Fiat Chrysler also builds Rams in a Warren, Michigan, factory, which is expected to be retooled to make a new Jeep SUV that’s bigger than the Grand Cherokee.
I didn't realize how "small" a Jeep Grand Cherokee was until I followed one on the interstate that was beside a Chevy Suburban. We've had several JGCs in our family over the last 20 years. I thought they were BIG. The Chevy is YHUUUUGE. I guess that's the market FCA is going after. Not for me.

The Grand has always been a midsize SUV...competition being the Explorer, 4Runner, Pathfinder, etc.

It's at the small end of full size the Cherokee being mid-size
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
