Generally speaking, automakers tend to keep things anonymous when it comes to calling out the competition. That's why you often hear phrases like best in class or leads the segment instead of Toyota can't do what we do. So when a high-ranking executive at a large auto manufacturer makes such a claim, it tends to garner some attention.
That comment regarding Toyota is exactly what Jeep's Global Head of Marketing Jeff Ellsworth said, according to Australia-based news outlet Cars Guide. It came during the international launch of the new Grand Cherokee 4xe, in which Ellsworth offered some friendly words for Toyota before proclaiming Jeep dominance. Specifically, Cars Guide quotes Ellsworth as saying Toyota has some advantages elsewhere in the realm of off-roading, "but for rock crawling, it's going to be Jeep all the way."
