Ford: It makes three models here for a combined total of 417,000. The compact Bronco Sport crossover SUV and compact Maverick pick up truck benefit from lower wages as magins are tighter on compact sized vehicles.
GM: It manufactured over 800,000 vehicles in 2025. While some model production will return to the US, it is committed to continued investment and will retain the four plants it operates through.
Stellantis: Jeep and Ram are the two brands that make vehicles here. Combined, 266,000 units were assembled in Mexico.
Jeep is just starting production of the Recon BEV. The compact Compass crossover SUV is the mainstay of Jeep manufacturing.
Ram makes mainly pick up trucks here but also the large Promaster van. Some pick up production will return Stateside.
Summary: Mexico was an appealing place to make vehicles and it still is. Recent moves have made it a little less appealing.
