Drum beating doesn't work for me on this one. Ford is competing globally now. This truck is replacing the Asian Ranger that is/has been sold for a while now (it has been upgraded WAY more than the US Ranger).

Surely you are aware that GM has been building Silverados/Escalades/other trucks in Canada and Mexico for a LONG time now, right?

That's why I bought a Jeep. I stuck with the 4.7L because it, along with the transmission, is made in Michigan. Everything is assembled in Detroit. Doesn't get much more American than that.

To defend GM, I'd rather have something built in Mexico than Asia. If they can get a job there, they're not hopping the border and getting our tax money when they have 5 kids here. Ford also builds Foci in Mexico, why not this as well?
