interesting article on detnews.com when Toyota first introduced the Tundra and advertized it as American Made. Actuall about 66 percent of the trucks total parts were made in the USA but was assembled in TX.

Ford trucks total parts were 91.7 percent of parts were made in the USA.

Dodge trucks were 93.7 percent parts made in the USA.

GMC/Chevy trucks were 89.8 percent of its parts were made in the USA..

Toyota's other trucks along with the Nissen trucks have less than 30 percent parts made in the USA.

Made in/assembled in/manufactured in all have different meaning.

In the middle '90's the administration tried forcing the Japs to lower their high tarriff on American vehicle parts which made owning a USA made vehicle to high for the averages Japanese.

A US news team was on the streets of Tokyo interviewing Japanese. One old fellow was asked if he would buy a American made vehicle if the tarriff was lowered. His reply was "no no Japanes buy Japanese cars--- Americans buy American cars". Smart Japanese.
