Automobile reported on an NHTSA study which showed that the Dodge Avenger has the highest American content of any car sold in North America. 83% of its parts come from the United States or Canada.

The next highest percentage belonged to the closely related Chrysler 200, at 81%.
Chrysler picked up again at #7 (tied, Dodge Caliber and Chrysler 300) and #8 (tied, Dodge Charger and Challenger), holding six of the top ten places for American content.

Top Trucks

The midsize Dodge Dakota, at 84 percent, has just a bit more North American content than the full-size Toyota Tundra, at 80 percent. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon come in third, with 75 percent. For those who are curious, the 2011 report shows the Ram truck at 70 percent, the Chevrolet Silverado at 61 percent, and the Ford F-Series at 60 percent.

Top Vans/Minivans

The Dodge Grand Caravan has a higher North American parts content than any van or minivan, at 82 percent, even higher than the Chrysler Town & Country, which is at 80 percent. GMC's Savana slips in at 80 percent, followed by the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey at 75 percent. Not surprisingly, the Ford Transit Connect has 10 percent North American parts content, as it is manufactured primarily in Turkey. The Kia Sedona is shown at 7 percent while the Mazda5 minivan has, well, 5 percent North American parts content, not a surprise, since the vehicles are made in South Korea and Japan, respectively.
