Story seems just a tad incorrect to me, last time I checked my geography Mexico was part of North America.
Pickup Truck: Toyota Tundra
The Toyota Tundra has never enjoyed the same kind of success that its domestic rivals take advantage of, despite the Tundra being made of more American parts than its domestic counterparts. Like the Camry, the Tundra uses three-quarters of its parts from the States or Canada; engine production is split between here and Japan. By comparison, the Silverado is made up of just 40 percent North American-sourced parts. (Note: the Ford F-Series was not ranked on the NHTSA’s listing; the Tundra was the highest ranking truck found on the list provided.)General Motors Chevrolet Silverado Truck
40% constructed in US
51% constructed in Mexico
Final assembly - US & Mexico
Engine - US
Transmission - US

I see Ford was not part of your posted info. Wonder why???
The Ford F-150 was awarded another prestigious award, as it took the top spot on Cars.com's American-Made Index for 2013. The annual ranking rates vehicles by their percentage of domestic parts, final assembly point and sales.
In order to qualify, models must have a domestic parts content of at least 75 percent (as noted on the window sticker of each new vehicle as required by law), have their final assembly inside the U.S. and must be scheduled for production in the coming model year. For more details about the calculations and the complexity of the parameters, click here.
Based on this criteria, here are the top 10 vehicles in order.
1. Ford F-150
2. Toyota Camry
3. Dodge Avenger
4. Honda Odyssey
5. Toyota Sienna
6. Chevrolet Traverse
7. Toyota Tundra
8. GMC Acadia
9. Buick Enclave
10. Toyota Avalon
FTR.....I would take any manufacturer overa GM product!

I was wondering the same thing, the NHTSA sight didn't even list it in the tables. Strange but not unusual since they are a government entity.
