* Full-size pickups: This is a major segment for US manufacturing, with models like the Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500, and GMC Sierra being prominent examples. These trucks are often built in various configurations (light duty, heavy duty, etc.).
* Full-size SUVs: American manufacturers produce many large SUVs, such as the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator.
* Mid-size pickups & SUVs: These are also significant, with examples including the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Honda Ridgeline (though Honda is Japanese), and a range of mid-size SUVs from various manufacturers.
* Sedans: While sedan production has decreased in the US in recent years due to consumer preference shifts, some are still manufactured, though often by foreign brands with US factories (e.g., Honda Accord, Toyota Camry). Domestic brands have also produced sedans in the past and may still offer some models.
* Muscle cars: This iconic segment is still alive, with models like the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger being notable examples.
* Electric Vehicles (EVs): US manufacturing is increasingly focusing on EVs, with companies like Tesla (though Tesla's origins are not entirely American), Ford (Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning), General Motors (Chevrolet Bolt, Hummer EV), and Rivian (R1T, R1S) leading the charge.
It's important to note that many brands with US manufacturing plants are actually foreign-owned (e.g., Honda, Toyota, BMW). Therefore, while the cars are built in the USA, the brands themselves are not always American. The "Made in the USA" label is more complex than just brand origin.
