Cars.com’s 2014 American-Made Index topped by Ford pickup F-150

The tough Ford F-150 pickup truck has topped the Cars. com's ninth annual American-Made Index --- a list of Top 10 best-selling vehicles which have been manufactured in the US, with more than 75 percent parts made in the domestic market.

Following the Ford F-150 truck, the second-ranking vehicle on the 2014 American-Made Index list is Toyota Camry. Though the Camry is manufactured by Japanese firm Toyota, and the profits from the sales are also shipped back to Japan, the vehicle is manufactured at the automaker's US plants and it features mostly US parts.

Both the Ford F-150 and the Toyota Camry were the top two position-holders on the American-Made Index last year also. While the F-150, together with its heavy-duty variants, is the top-selling vehicle of any sort in the US; the Toyota Camry is the top-selling car in the country.

Meanwhile, so far as the 2014 American-Made Index is concerned, the list is dominated by Japanese brands; with seven out of the Top 10 models having been manufactured by Japanese manufacturers.

Moreover, the 2014 American-Made Index has four `newcomer' vehicles, which made it to the list for the first time. These vehicles are: the Chevrolet Corvette, Honda Ridgeline, Honda Crosstour, and Dodge SRT Viper.
