Made in America | These cars top the most-American list

December 5, 2022

The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 — due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries — in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES.

If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts."

There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list:

(1) Lincoln Corsair: 86
(1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86
(2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5
(3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81
(4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5
(5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80
(5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80
(5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80
(5) Tesla Model Y: 80
(6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5
(6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5
(7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5
(8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5
(8) Ford Ranger: 77.5
(8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5
(8) Tesla Model S: 77.5
(8) Tesla Model X: 77.5
(9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77

(9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77
(10) Honda Odyssey: 76
(10) Honda Ridgeline: 76
(10) Honda Pilot: 76

There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.

The post title is a bit misleading because not all current F150 are in the 'top ten' ranking.

You may note that for whatever reason in that data the F 150 3.5L is shown as 55% US/Canadian content and #18 in the overall ranking. :cautious:

The F 150 Lightning EV comes in at #40 with 38% US/Canadian content.
