There was a recent article that ranked the top 30 vehicles according to how much they're made here. And "here" was defined to include the USA & Canada.
The Toyota Tundra came in at #11 and it was the ONLY truck to make the top 30. Not a Ford, Chevy or Dodge to be found on it.
The list was actually dominated by "imports" that are more made here than the domestics are.
The article you quote is a little outdated. Here is the list from the June 30, 2014 edition:
Quote:Here's the 2014 list by model and where it is manufactured:
1. Ford F-150; Dearborn, Mich., and Claycomo, Mo.
2. Toyota Camry; Georgetown, Ky., and Lafayette, Ind.
3. Honda Odyssey; Lincoln, Ala.
4. Toyota Sienna; Princeton, Ind.
5. Toyota Tundra; San Antonio
6. Toyota Avalon; Georgetown, Ky.
7. Chevrolet Corvette Stingray; Bowling Green, Ky.
8. Honda Ridgeline; Lincoln, Ala.
9. Honda Crosstour; East Liberty, Ohio
10. Dodge SRT Viper; Detroit
The most disturbing thing is those are the only 10 that qualified for inclusion. In 2011, the year you quoted there were 30. 2012 had 20, and 2013 had 14...
