Also included for each truck is its score from the 2014 Kogod Made in America Auto Index, which looks not only at parts and assembly information but also at such factors as where a model's research and development took place, where a carmaker made capital investments and where the profits from the vehicle go. The Kogod index is scored on a 100-point scale
So the F150, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tundra all tie for 75% domestic content. The Tundra's Kogod index rating is 78.5%, including where the profits from the vehicle go.
The Ram is only 68% domestic content and 63% Kogod index.
The Chevy/GMC is only 40% (FORTY!!!) domestic content and has a slightly higher than Ram (and LOWER than Tundra) Kogod index of 70%.
Really throws a wrench in the whole "Toyota is an import and all the revenue goes back to Japan" argument.
