A lot of American cars are sold draped in the stars and stripes with eagles flying overhead, but how much of that is marketing and how much of that is true American pride? Well, Cars.com seems to have an answer. They ranked the most and least American-made cars today, and some of the results may surprise you.

The most American-made car company is undoubtedly Tesla. They took home first, second, fifth and sixth place. Pretty impressive, I’ll give them that much. But, where does that leave everyone else? More specifically, where does it leave the most American vehicles there are - big ol’ body on frame truck?

Well, you’re about to find out. Here are the most American-made trucks, in order from the very bottom of the list, and on to the top.

Unfortunately, the list doesn’t include anything with a gross vehicle weight above 8,500 pounds, so heavy-duty trucks are out.

The Ford Maverick also isn’t on the list because it falls out of the top 100. Booo.

Warning: Some of these results may jostle your American pride.

Ah, the first non-American company to enter the list. Don’t worry, there’s more where this came from.

Is this a pickup truck? No, but it shares a platform with the somehow-less American Silverado/Sierra. Impressive, GM. Very impressive.

I don’t know exactly how this managed to be more American than its Tahoe sibling. Perhaps more chrome equals more American.

For a vehicle that helped us win a war in a past life, it should probably be higher on this list, no? The Wrangler gets an asterisk because the 4xe ranks lower at 69 (nice).

The winner of the American half-ton pickups still doesn’t crack the top 10. There is as asterisk next to the F-150 because the hybrid model ranks lower at 56.

I’m surprised by this, especially because the Ranger is a global vehicle that was sold for years in other markets before finally coming stateside.

Ranger’s got nothing on the highest-ranked domestic trucks on this list. Congrats, Mister General. However, this still doesn’t make up for the piss-poor score that Silverado and Sierra received. I guess it’s something, though.

Here it is, folks. Your most-American truck on the market. Hard to believe, I know. That being said, Honda had three other vehicles in the top 10 of American-made vehicle rankings as well, so good on them.
