I bought a Toyota truck 30years ago and they said it was "made in America". I checked and what they did was ship the entire truck from overseas, along with bed, and once here they assembled bed on chassis. Hence,,made in USA. What crap!!
I know nothing at all about what goes on now, I dont care but I thought I`d share my experience.

I think the bed installation thing was a "letter of the law" deal to avoid import restrictions. The next step was the Nummi plant in Fremont, and from there other plants like Texas etc.

Oh, and I found this plate last time I was in Idaho. Why someone would have this as a plate is beyond me-

Hey now!... I resemble that remark!...
I have to admit though, I'm at a loss about that SARIN plate... That pic was taken in Idaho Falls - you gotta be a nutcase to live there...
