My Honda Ridgeline was assembled in Lincoln, Alabama. go figure!

From Reddit, Feb 2025 (discussion of this as a news source is for a different exchange!)
Did you know that the Honda Ridgeline is the most American made pick up truck sold right now. The Trailsport is 75% American made components. With the regular Ridgeline at 70%. Disclaimer - NHTSA considers an “American Component” to be made in USA and Canada.
