I think that everyone on this forum is aware of that since you Ram boys remind everyone at every chance.
Full disclosure: Ram Eco-diesel is built/assembled in Italy.
Also if the Power Stroke comment was a shot across my bow, you wasted your shot. My engine was built and assembled in Sharonville OH. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

I remember being concerned when I purchased my first HONDA that was assembled in the USA. It did have a Delco Battery!!!

We get it... Just like your cummins engine block is casted in Mexico.
Having said that it's very important to purchase from an American company and that I can say I'm very proud of.

I am willing to buy made in Canada or made in USA but I seldom consider things made in North America to measure up to the quality of made in Japan or made in Germany. The workmanship that some Canadian trades people put into building houses, for example, is often embarrassing.

If the money is going to a union which in turn will use it to get some libtard elected then I say Hecho en Mexico. Got a lot of family from Mexico since my uncle was a missionary and married a Mexican woman. I also have family that migrated there from Germany in the late 19th century. What people don't understand is that Mexico is just as much of a cultural melting pot as the US is, and they only believe Mexicans are brown. This is completely false. There are German-Mexicans, Irish-Mexicans, French-Mexicans, Polish-Mexicans, and so on.

You are so right. Tranny components are made offshore and imported as goods in process and assembled at Kokomo, Indiana. Aisin is Toyota Seiki owned in Japan.
Cummins12V98, likes to spread it thick and plays games with many things just like FCA does. You really have to read the fine print and the deceptive wording.
Yep and good ole GM is such an up standing American Company right? They are probably at the bottom when it comes to honesty! They screw their salary retirees every chance they can along with their customers. Oh but as long as they are an "American Company" it's all good right Nutz?
Toyota is considered to have more American content then Ford and GM. America imports pay taxes in America (well as much as any American company does) they support American schools, charities and on and on. Give it a rest already!
To this day my plant still supplies converters to MB in Alabama and it does not look like it is going to end any time soon.
So what did Fiat do to you that makes you hate them so much. We all know you hate anything Chrysler now it's Fiat also?

Guess since this can of worms has been open, lets get accurate stats,
To say Toyota is more American than Ford or GM is incorrect. There are a couple Toyota models in the top 10 but GM is the clear winner in that regard.
Take a look. You'll be surprised at the results.

Actually its Aisin-Warner or Aisin AW, as they are a joint venture with BorgWarner since 1969. Aisin is 30% owned by Toyota group and as of 2005, Aisin AW passed GM powertrain division as the largest producer of automatic transmissions in the world. I know Cummins12V98, that's not what I wanted to hear either...lol. But its in black and white.
