Chrysler has started shipping the new Jeep Cherokee on Oct. 22 from its factory in Toledo, Ohio.
The automaker originally planned to start deliveries between July 1 and Sept. 30. But distribution was delayed while engineers tried to smooth out the new transmission.
Dealers have been looking for the Cherokee since the summer.
“We’re anxious to get it,” said Russell Barnett, owner of a Jeep dealership in Winchester, Tenn., southeast of Nashville. “The Cherokee name has quite a reputation with it that we think will add several sales to our business.”
