Ford Ranger tops ranking of most American-made vehicle
The Michigan-built Ford Motor Co. Ranger pickup, resurrected for the U.S. market in 2019, ranks No. 1 among the most-American-made vehicles, a 15-year-old list for which high-ranking Tesla, which assembles its luxury electric cars in Fremont, Calif., participated for the first time.
The American-Made Index ranks cars based on five factors: assembly location, parts sourcing as determined by the American Automobile Labeling Act that dates to the 1990s, U.S. factory employment relative to vehicle production, engine and transmission sourcing. In total, the 2020 AMI ranked cars from 13 automakers built in 14 states.“Of some 350 cars on the market for 2020, 91 models qualified for our index,” said Kelsey Mays, Cars.com’s CARS, +0.
The impact of COVID-19 on the economy and, in turn, on consumer decisions has impacted car-buying, according to separate research from Cars.com. “ ‘The auto industry is highly globalized, but these 91 models bring jobs to America and investments to our local communities.’ ”
