[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 665477, member: 25383"] I drive a 93% made U.S. N. American made truck. What you drive, I could care less about (your money). A Ford truck on the lot will be hard pressed to show a 53% N. American content while that Jap truck you cuss will be fifteen points higher in content. A new G.M. truck will show about 61% U.S. and Canadian content (Ford includes Mexico). That's why the Fed don't buy Crown Vics anymore because they're foreign made. (so now they closed the plant with a zillion of them laying around). Ford did agree to bring back some work they had done in Asia awhile back, but so far it's never shown up on the sticker content (probably a little too soon anyway). G.M. did the samething, and last I looked it hasn't shown up either. Takes about 24 months to get that supply chain rolling again. G.M. does a small fraction of manufacturing in Mexico these days, and I'm not sure what Ford does down there. Ford's biggest interests are in Asia. Canada has a content law that is also against the NAFTA Treaty, but no one's got the balls to challange them on it. It's good to see the numbers make you mad, because they should! gary [/QUOTE]
