While press releases announcing production milestones are more than a little dry, the fact that Chrysler Group managed to sell so many Pentastar engines in a short amount of time is an indication of a successful V6 if you as us.
The one millionth unit came from Chrysler's plant in Saltillo, Mexico. The 3-liter V6 is sold on a numerous Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler models, and even the Lancia rebadged units making their way to Europe. These include the 200, 300 and Town and Country from Chrysler, the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Journey and Caravan from Dodge, or the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler from Jeep.
"To build one million of anything, and in an impressively short amount of time, is a significant achievement. But to do it with such a high degree of quality is a testament to our skilled and dedicated workforce at both Trenton South and Saltillo engine plants," said Brian Harlow, head of Chrysler's Powertrain Manufacturing division.
