Meanwhile, the Ram Truck Brand
reported Dodge Dakota sales increased 29 percent compared with
production.
On the Jeep® side, three
vehicles: the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Jeep Compass all
increased retail sales in October vs. the month earlier.
Fred Diaz, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Ram Brand and Lead Executive for the Sales
Organization, says the industry showed signs of improvement this
month with increasing sales, a trend he sees continuing for the
remainder of the year.
“Chrysler Group expects to
get its share of the increases as November and December
traditionally are two of the best months for SUV
sales.”
A couple things to look forward to
in December is the Mopar® mobile TV option and the
company plans to stock dealerships with the all-new 2010
Ram Heavy Duty pickups by the holidays.

Chrysler will begin several new sales incentives. Find out more
