  • Ram pickup reports new March record as sales increase 9 percent to 45,187 sold
  • JeepĀ® Grand Cherokee notches best March ever as sales rise 26 percent to 24,655 vehicles sold
  • Ram brand sets new March record as sales jump 15 percent to 51,822 sold

FCA US LLC (NYSE: FCAU) reported a new March record for the Ram brand as sales jumped 15 percent, underscoring the success the company has found in its two-pronged strategy of selling both the Ram 1500 and Ram Classic.

The performance of the Ram brand, combined with a new March record for JeepĀ® Grand Cherokee, countered general softness within the industry. FCA sold 200,307 vehicles in the month.

"The industry had a tough first quarter but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators -- such as a boost in housing sales, lower lending rates and a strong labor market -- we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," U.S Head of Sales Reid Bigland said. "Meanwhile, our Ram brand sales and average transaction prices continue to be strong and our much-anticipated, game-changing Jeep Gladiator pickup is on track for its in-market debut this month."
