These are the most American-made cars, trucks and SUVs of 2023
Analysis from Cars.com shows it's not just about the badge



John Beltz Snyder
If you want to buy the most American-made cars, trucks or SUVs, you might want to look further west than the Motor City. According to Cars.com, only one American brand made it into the top 10 of its 2023 American-Made Index, and it ain’t from Ford, GM or Stellantis. The newly released list puts Tesla at the top of the pack, followed by German and Japanese brands.

So what makes a car American-made? By Cars.com’s standards, it’s a mixture of five ingredients: country of origin for available transmissions and engines, U.S. manufacturing workforce, final assembly location and percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts. Their rules, not ours. But with that in mind, the top 10 American-made cars for 2023 are as follows, with "cars" being used as a generic term of light-passenger vehicles, including trucks, SUVs and literal cars:

Tesla Model Y
Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model X
Tesla Model S
Honda Passport
Volkswagen ID.4
Honda Odyssey
Acura MDX
Honda Ridgeline
Acura RDX
Looking at the remainder of the full list of 100 vehicles, the first from the Big Three is the Lincoln Corsair in 16th place. The most American-made GM product is the Chevy Corvette, in 19th place. The first Stellantis entry is in spot 21 with the Dodge Durango.

You'll also notice that the most American-made truck is the Honda Ridgeline. Oh sweet irony. Not shown there is the most American-made full-size truck is the Toyota Tundra at No. 12. The next most American-made is the Ram 1500 at No. 28.




Cars.com also broke down the automakers with the largest share of U.S. light-duty sales from domestic assembly:

Tesla: 100%
Ford: 77.5%
Honda: 73.1%
Stellantis: 70.1%
Subaru: 58.5%
GM: 54.0%
Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance: 49.1%
Toyota: 48.9%
Mercedes-Benz: 41.5%
Hyundai: 40.2%
BMW: 36.3%
Volkswagen: 21.1%
Mazda: 14.7%
Geely: 4.0%
 
so fords 77% of PU trucks... oh wait cars. nope reread it *all inclusive*

I have toured the rouge complex many times... they claim kentucky is equally impressive. it seems surprising the F150 or mustang or emustang don't score higher.

thanks for sharing. I guess seeing hundreds of thousands chev trucks sitting at the old IH factory in ohio waiting for asian components so they could operated becomes a bit more relatable.
