"Typically most companies only want Jeep when looking at FCA because it’s the real money maker from what I hear"
The Ram trucks are 3rd behind Ford and Chevy in sales, but only very slightly behind Chevy. And way ahead of number 4, Toyota trucks. I imagine that's attractive also.

Jeep (34% in 2018) and Ram (16%) account now for more than half of the sales of the group. In units, because in dollars it will be more and in earnings probably much more (but I don’t think the company discloses that info).
Also, typically most companies only want to buy Jeep when looking at FCA because it’s the real money maker from what I hear. I wonder if a merger would ultimately lead to companies like Chrysler being shuttered due to redundancy. That’d be a big loss of jobs.
And on another side note it’s intriguing to think about a company that would have spanned four countries and how so many different personalities and cultures would have been able to work together.
