STELLANTIS INVESTS BIG IN JEEP AND RAM

Getting back behind the wheel of the Gladiator Rubicon for this issue's review reminded me why I love the Jeep brand so much - but also why I worry about its future in Australia.

So it was welcome news to read that Stellantis, Jeep's parent company, is investing in its US manufacturing facilities to improve its products and turn the brand around, both here and in the States.
