Whether there is an alternative or not is irrelevant to where they are made. These should be moved back to the US, else given a large import fee AND CLEARLY MARKED AS MADE IN MEXICO.
Saw a new Fiat/Chrysler diesel half-ton pickup today... ...now I wonder where it was made?
“Whether there is an alternative or not is irrelevant to where they are made. These should be moved back to the US, else given a large import fee AND CLEARLY MARKED AS MADE IN MEXICO.”
I agree completely! Ditto for any pickups that are being assembled outside the country and reimported. All of this can be laid at the feet of the government and a succession of crap balls who managed to become presidents of GM, then roll over for the UAW.
100% all parts made in The USA?
There are a couple of measures of the domestic content of vehicles sold in the US. Every new vehicle has a domestic content percentage on the window sticker. As alternative, and probably more comprehensive, measure is the Made in America Index produced by the Kogod Business School and written up in many car magazines and websites. Be prepared for some surprises. For example, the Toyota Tundra is more “American” than the Chevy Silverado.
Perhaps they are being made in an international economic enterprise zone. We have places in America that are considered foreign territory to be exempt from certain taxes. Local governments agree to this to get jobs for the local US workers. Kind of like driving to the embassy to work.
