Believe it or not, its an old Nissan truck that was actually assembled here in the US , with US , Japanese, and Mexican parts .
That's what I keep my eye on these days more than where corporate headquarters are located...if a company like Nissan comes to America and sets up a factory that provides good jobs for Americans, they're more "American" than a company that has a PO box and let's the Chinese do their work for them. Nissan makes solid stuff, and I'd rather drive an American Nissan than a Mexican Ford.

You’re exactly right . Japanese and some European companies are building factories here and putting our people to work with good paying Union Free jobs - while our “Big Three” send the jobs and parts contracts to Mexican/Taiwan/Chinese based companies/factories . We can thank free trade for that.
My “Japanese” truck is old and it was assembled in Texas ,and was definately assembled here in the U.S.
The new Nissan trucks are made in Tennessee . Honda has a big plant in Ohio, Toyota in Alabama, BMW in South Carolina .
