Jeep and Ram Are Riding High Thanks to North America: TDS

Jeep and Ram are “riding high” as North America lifts Stellantis, according to The Downshift (TDS) bulletin for Monday, July 13, 2026. Stellantis’ global sales rose 10% in the second quarter of 2026 versus a year earlier, with most of that growth attributed to the North American market. Shipments in the region improved 38% after refreshed Jeep and Ram models, along with an updated Chrysler Pacifica. The automaker also said production was running somewhat higher to get ahead of scheduled factory pauses later in the summer. Elsewhere, Infiniti’s new QX65 crossover logged more than 1,000 units sold and exceeded internal estimates by 25% in its first full month.
