Jeep’s millionth Wrangler JK rolled off the line at the company’s Toledo, Ohio plant.

The JK first went on sale as a 2007 model year and as of today can count one million units built. Jeep’s storied soft-roader posted strong sales last year, with 141,669 sales reported or an increase over 15 percent from 2011.

“Every Jeep Wrangler sold to customers around the world is born in Toledo, Ohio,” said Chrysler vehicle assembly operations vice president Mauro Pino. “Since this facility opened eight years ago, the Toledo workforce has built every one of those million vehicles with pride, passion and a focus on quality. We all look forward to building the next million.”

The milestone-marking Wrangler was a Rubicaon 10th Anniversary Edition and will be delivered to its owner in Sarasota, Fla.
