Ford F-150 pickup tops Camry for No. 1 American-made ranking

Ford Motor Co.’s F-150 pickup, pacing the biggest gain in u.S. market share among automakers this year, topped a consumer website’s list of most-American made models, replacing Toyota Motor Corp.’s Camry sedan. The F-150, right, snapped a four-year streak for the Camry and earned the No. 1 spot in Cars.com’s 2013 American-Made index, the website said today in an emailed statement. The index ranks model lines based on their sales and whether the car or truck parts and the completed vehicles are built in the u.S. Ford’s F-Series trucks have propelled the biggest u.S. sales increase among major automakers this year, climbing 22% through the end of May. The automaker said last month that it’s adding 2,000 workers and a third shift at its F-150 factory in Missouri to increase pickup production beginning in the third quarter.
