Is Ford American-Made?

When car shoppers ask if Ford is American-made, they want to understand where the vehicles are built, where parts come from, and how much of their purchase supports American jobs. Ford has a long and proud history in the U.S. automotive industry, and the answer is a bit more nuanced than a simple yes or no. Five Star Automotive Group breaks down the origin of Ford cars below.

Where Are Ford Cars Made?

Since the company’s inception in 1903, Ford cars have been made in America. That said, as the company grew, it expanded its operations globally to better cater to the international market. Today, drivers can find Ford production plants in countries such as:

• Argentina
• Canada
• Germany
• China
• Mexico
• Romania
• South Africa
• Spain
• Thailand
• Turkey
• Vietnam

American Ford Production Plants

Though the Ford Motor Company has many manufacturing facilities outside the country, the automaker assembles more vehicles in the United States than any other car manufacturer. Due to this high-volume production, nearly 80% of the vehicles Ford sells in the U.S. are assembled domestically. Some of these Ford assembly plants include:

• Chicago Assembly Plant (Illinois): Assembles the Ford Explorer
• Dearborn Assembly Plant (Michigan): Assembles the Ford F-150 and Ford Raptor
• Flat Rock Assembly Plant (Michigan): Assembles the Ford Mustang, Ford Mustang GT, and Ford Mustang Dark Horse
• Rogue Electric Vehicle Center (Michigan): Assembles the Ford F-150 Lightning
• Michigan Assembly Plant (Michigan): Assembles the Ford Ranger and the Ford Bronco
• Kansas City Assembly Plant (Missouri): Assembles the Ford E-Transit, Ford Transit, and Ford F-150
• Kentucky Truck Plant (Kentucky): Assembles the Ford Super Duty trucks and the Ford Expedition
• Louisville Assembly Plant (Kentucky): Assembles the Ford Escape
• Ohio Assembly Plant (Ohio): Assembles the Ford F-650/750 Medium Duty trucks, Ford F-350/450/550 Super Duty Chassis Cab, Ford E-Series Cutaway, and Ford Stripped Chassis

In addition to the assembly plants listed above, several other Ford production plants specializing in engine manufacturing, forging, and stamping are located in the United States. By investing in domestic production, Ford ensures you receive an American-made vehicle that you can rely on.
