My 2500 Silverado was made in Fort Wayne, Indiana...
My F-150 was made in Norfolk, VA.
I buy American. You have to research "problem children/drivetrains" on everything regardless of manufacturer these days. Most can't keep a good transmission in them...
Tired of hearing the "yebbit it was made here" as the profit dollars fly overseas. All thanks to the Chicken tax. The gymnastics some go thru to get around it is ridiculous. Little Ford transits ship as station wagons with seats. Port of Baltimore, removes them and ships them back to Turkey so they can reuse them on commercial vans, disguised as station wagons/passenger vehicles. Peak retardification ...
In this day and age, they ALL break... even your precious toyoders. Just towed my nephew's tundra last week with my Chevy. Starter is located under the intake manifold...
Iโd rather have a Toyota than any other vehicle. Sadly most American car brands just donโt hold up. Iโd love to see cars back to being built like they were decades ago. If I hadnโt wrecked my 4Runner with about 150K miles Iโd still be driving it. We know people with Chevy & GMC having trouble before 100K. My husband has a ford truck and I love it. He just told me (I think) the transmission is going out on GMC trucks at around 100K miles and has to be replaced. We have a Highlander now, itโs very nice but Iโd rather have that old 4Runner. By the way I saw an article recently said some new cars were going up at least 12K because of tariffs. I donโt have the source.
I wouldn't think a patriot would drive a Toyota but what do I know?
They are one of the most made in US cars available actually. Texas has a big factory and I think a few others
Seriously... like wtf.

You'll have to pry my Tacoma from my cold, dead hands.
