Well, that is one on the list. Certainly not "several". Anymore that do not exist Robert? Oh, and you still haven't said which ones were engineered and developed outside NA.
Well reading is not one of your strengths. You gave a list where two of the vehicles will either about to be axed or have been, I could bring up the Econoline, that will be axed totally.
I said all Pickups produced had foreign engineered parts and engines. Pickups by the way only make up 11%of US production long way from " bulk" of US Production

Correct, Pickups make up the best selling segments in the US, Australia and Canada.
Canada and Australia have roughly 14% of sales devoted to Pickups, US 11% Not all of the engineering in a fact a lot is done elsewhere outside the US.
Pickups do not make up the bulk of vehicles sold in any market. I notice the Japanese sell a lot of vehicles in the US and they and the Koreans, and all the other non NA manufacturers contribute to the " bulk" of vehicles sold.

They certainly are not. Tell me which ones?
Robert, you forget that the best-selling American vehicles are American style pickups. Styled and Engineered, and sometimes built in the US. With the occasional exception, like the subject of this thread.
In 2011, Japanese brands reaped 36 percent of all U.S. new-car sales, according to Automotive News. European carmakers, by contrast, had 9.8 percent. A decade ago, Japanese brands had 28.5 percent of the market, while European brands had just 7.6 percent.

If the Ranger Raptor is anything like its bigger version, it will be a good 4wd but poor tow vehicle. This leads me to ask why it's even in this forum section?

Hyundai, Toyota, BMW, etc... are not our vehicles. They are other country's vehicles sold here.
Which vehicles on that list were engineered outside NA? Which "several" do exist?
How about all of the Pickups. From a cursory glance the Viper, Chrysler 200 appear to be missing in action. Have to look at in detail.
Viper is still being made and sold in NA until the plant shuts down next month. The 200 is still on production with no end date that I know of.
I don't think so, the 200 ended production about 6 months ago.
