American University’s Kogod School of Business has released their annual survey of American made vehicles. Buying Made in the USA creates American jobs and leverage for American workers to negotiate better pay and benefits. The flip side of that is not buying Made in the USA decreases American jobs and reduces worker leverage to improve their working conditions. A summary of their report is below…
In the top spot with 88.5 percent domestic content is the manual transmission-equipped Ford Mustang 5.0 liter GT.
The Ford Ranger, which was no. 1 in 2020, dropped to no. 16 due to a reduction in US/Canadian content from 70 percent to 45 percent. In the second spot is the Chevy Corvette Stingray. In the third position is the Tesla Model 3. Ford’s newly-released Bronco comes in at the fourth position. Ford’s Expedition, GM’s gas engine-equipped Canyon and Colorado Pickups, and Tesla’s Model S and Y are fifth.
