Alexandra Garrett As it turns out, the top four spots in the 2023 index are all full-electric Teslas, built in the U.S. using the highest percentage of American parts and labor in the industry. Of note, what most might consider the most American vehicle of all, the industry’s top-selling Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck, winds up at number 66 on the website’s domestic content list, while the Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tundra pickups sit far higher on the list by virtue of being built in the U.S. using higher percentages of local content. Cars.com evaluated 388 vehicles from the 2023 model year and identified 100 considered to be domestic models by virtue of their assembly location, parts sourcing as determined by the American Automobile Labeling Act, U.S. factory employment relative to vehicle production, and engine and transmission sourcing, with the latter including the global origin of batteries used in electrified models. Much of this information is required by federal law to be included on the pricing sticker affixed to all light-duty vehicles sold in the U.S.. Consumers can also log onto the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website to unearth the percentages of domestic and foreign content in cars from past and current model years. One catch here is that the above-mentioned federal labeling act treats Canadian parts and assembly as essentially coming from the U.S. (but not from our other North American neighbor, Mexico) so it might be more appropriate to treat the list as being the “most Canadian-American” vehicles. Perhaps surprisingly, by this criteria 17 out of the 25 top-ranked models for 2023 come from what would otherwise be considered import brands, with only a single model among them—the Dodge Durango SUV—being built in the “Motor City” of Detroit. Regardless, in the spirit of the upcoming 4th of July holiday, here’s an eye-opening look at the 25 “most American” models and where they are built, according to Cars.com’s 2023 American-Made Index: Tesla Model Y: Austin, Texas; Fremont California Tesla Model 3: Fremont, California Tesla Model X: Fremont, California Tesla Model S: Fremont, California Honda Passport: Lincoln, Alabama
