Ford f150 and the Toyota tundra are nearly tied for how American they are, both assembly and parts made in America exceed 85 percent, far better than gm and dodge. It's a face and not just assembly.
Love my American tundra

The profits go to shareholders, and lots of Americans are shareholders in TM.
I really, really like the new Ford Fusion Hybrid, not very impressed with the larger engine. Look at where they make it.

Chris, does GM Ford share their profits with us? I haven't got a check.
Like said above, profits go to shareholders, like it or not, Toyo and Honda have american branches that are doing well for us HERE.
BMW, Mercedes, Toyo, Honda and Hyundia all have plants in the SE. New plants
I am all about american made, and I love this country. But the name plate on a car needs more research before you can call it american made. Heck, Dodge and GM have marketed "american made" with plants and parts factories in Mexico and Canada for years, because it is North Amercia....that doesn't help us.
The most US made car, parts, labor, assembly, US percentage of all.....is a Toyota Camry, the Ford F-150 is second
