Jeep was founded in 1941, and it found its true calling when it started making SUVs for the military. Since then, the demand for higher ground clearance passenger cars has increased several times. It wasn't until Chrysler Corporation acquired Jeep in the late 1980s that Jeep started to reveal its true potential.
Jeep, one of Stellantis' brands in North America, was the most profitable and popular brand in 2021. If Jeep were to be split from Stellantis, it would be worth slightly more than Stellantis' entire United States division.

Where can I find the Jeep VIN?
Different manufacturers place vehicle identification numbers on different parts of their vehicles. The dashboard on the driver's side is the most common location, but you can also find it under the windshield.
To find the vehicle identification number (VIN) of your car, try the following methods:
- The engine block is located in the front of the vehicle and should be easy to spot when you open the hood.
- On the front of the car frame, near the windshield washer fluid canister.
- In the back of the car, there is a space that is not occupied by seats. You can see the tire directly above you if you look up.
- The driver's side door frame is seen from the inside. Look around the door, where the side-view mirror would be if it were closed.
- Look at the driver's side door frame. If the mirror were closed, it would be here.
- The spare tire is located below.
If you are still unable to locate your vehicle identification number, please consult your owner's manual. The VIN is unlikely to be recorded in the manual but it can be found there.
