I get what you are saying in a vacuum, but by that rationale no vehicle is USA made. And as mentioned Toyota trucks might actually be the MOST American.

Even vintage vehicles I would bet were not 100% made in the USA. More than today for sure, but if you asked me to bet on, "Is a 1970 GTO 100% made in the USA?" I would take the under.

I don't think there is an opportunity for complete consistency because the market is muddy there.

Understandable, and I don't take all this as a bad thing, just trying to wrap my head around the thought process from some of you guys.

All I drive are 50+ year old muscle cars and I enjoy it. Yeah the parts and pieces on them now 5 decades later are most likely all foreign made, and I don't take any issue with that. It is what it is, I'm just happy I can still buy stuff for it. The car itself though still represents a time when America was America and I do take some pride in that. I know others appreciate them as well.

But if I were on the market for a mini truck, I'd for sure be looking at S-10's, or something from the big 3, not Isuzu's or Toyota's. That's just me. I'm not even remotely interested in anything offered new from any manufacture these days.
