Real American car companies?
If I was in the market for a new pickup truck, what would be the best option as far as most american made? My initial thoughts were obviously Ford, Chevy, Gmc, and dodge. But aren't gmc and chevy trucks made in Mexico or Canada? Where are f150's manufactured? Is it true that Toyota trucks are manufactured in America? The more American made the truck is, the better
The Dodge Ram 1500 (except for the regular cab truck) are made here in Warren, Michigan at our Warren Truck plant.

The Ford will be better in the long-run! I've been a mechanic for over 50 years!
Chevy/GMC are rolling out a new mid size pick up to compete with the Tacoma and Frontier. They are expected to be available in fall as Canyon and Colorado's. I read they are assembled in the US but as with all vehicles some major components are made in either Canada or Mexico.
All parts for all cars and trucks come from different country's
and are built all over the world.

Pretty sure Dodge trucks are Mexican. Every vehicle has a plate on it that tells where it was assembled, usually on the drivers door or door frame. Of course, that does not tell you where the components were made.
Toyota trucks that are sold in the USA are mostly assembled in the USA, from some imported parts.
The msrp stickers on cars are very informative, but I don't believe trucks necessarily have that information. On cars it tells where it was assembled, the percentage of domestic content and where major components were built. I have not seen that on trucks.
- Won't car companies release old-style vehicles? Old-fashioned vehicles but with modern internals? Like the Chevrolet in Pulp Fiction or 1966 Ford Thunderbird and such. They're so beautiful
- Why don't car companies remake some of their classic car models if people like them so much? Of course safety is in mind because everyone would freak out if they didn't have a seat belt and air bags in every inch of the car, but why can't some of the companies just remake their best selling car models? Dodge could remake their 1948 Sedan and Ford could remake their 1949 Custom. I could list more but I can't think of any more classics.
- Why do car companies sell in different countries under different names? Why are companies like Chevrolet selling their cars under names like Holden in Australia? I'm not sure if Chevrolet sells in Australia but I do think they do. If they already sell in Australia, what's the point of selling the same thing under Holden? Another example is some Ford cars are sold under Lincoln, and Chevrolet sells the same thing under GMC. Buick and Opel? What's with this?
