Jeep Cherokee: A Jeep Brand Vehicle


The Jeep Cherokee is one of the most iconic and popular SUV models in the Jeep lineup. It has been in production since 1984 and has gone through several generations of redesigns and updates over the years. Jeep is a brand that is known for its rugged, off-road capable vehicles, and the Cherokee is no exception.


The Jeep Cherokee is not associated with the Ford Motor Company in any way. Ford is a separate automotive manufacturer that produces its own line of SUVs and trucks, such as the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition, but the Jeep Cherokee is exclusively a Jeep brand vehicle.


Jeep's History and Ownership


Jeep was originally founded in 1941 as a military vehicle manufacturer, and it was later acquired by various parent companies over the years, including Willys-Overland, Kaiser-Jeep, and American Motors Corporation (AMC). In 1987, Jeep was acquired by Chrysler Corporation, which later became Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and is now part of the Stellantis group.


So, in summary, the Jeep Cherokee is a Jeep brand vehicle that is manufactured and sold by Stellantis, not by Ford or any other automotive company.
