Chrysler is on track to build more than 300,000 Ram 1500 pickups at its Warren assembly plant this year -- the most in the plant's history.
The record output reflects Chrysler's confidence in the upgraded 2013 Ram 1500 and the expectation that pickup sales will increase across the industry this year.
It's also is a sign of how important pickups are to Detroit automakers' profits.
Chrysler had said in November it would add about 1,000 workers at Warren Truck Assembly, but the extent of the expansion was only specified recently.
