FCA is showing off the 2019 Ram Heavy Duty, with a 35,100-pound towing capacity and turbo diesel that can manage 1,000 pound-feet of torque.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is expected to pay close to $800 million to resolve its diesel emissions cheating scandal involving about 100,000 vehicles.

Fiat Chrysler would build a three-row Jeep SUV on the site of an idled engine plant on Detroit’s east side, according to one report.

If the Detroit-Hamtramck GM Assembly plant closes, the adverse impact will be felt by businesses not directly tied to the auto industry.

Rivian says its truck will manage 400 miles of range on a charge and hit 60 m.p.h. in 3 seconds.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles says the Jeep Wrangler issue is not a safety problem. It can arise when certain vehicles hit a bump at highway speeds.

The midsize truck segment has exploded in recent years, and now more automakers see an opening, including Ford and Fiat Chrysler.

Pickups aren’t just for hauling stuff from A to B any more. Now automakers offer the kinds of trappings once the domain of luxury sedans.
