F-150 Named America's "Most American" Vehicle

F-150 Named America's "Most American" Vehicle
NORWALK, Ohio - For the second year in a row, the Ford F-150 was Named America's "Most American" Vehicle by Cars.com's annual American-Made Index. The ranking of the most American-made vehicles takes three main factors into account to determine just how "American" the cars are: domestic-parts content, final assembly point and overall vehicle sales. Being that the Ford F-150 holds the "America's Best-Selling Vehicle" title, it should really come at no surprise that the truck held the top spot as the "Most American-Made" vehicle.

As we mentioned before, as important as the contents of the vehicle are, part of the ranking depends heavily on vehicle sales. The high demand for the F-150 makes for a busy work week for Ford employees working at both the Dearborn, Michigan and Claycomo, Missouri Ford factories, where the F-Series trucks are produced. Employees spilt three shifts, totaling 120 hours of F-Series production time per week. As roughly 60 F-150s crank out every hour to meet customer demand, it only makes sense for Ford to have a majority of the truck parts produced domestically.
