How American is your SUV? Sure, it might be an American nameplate, but how much of the SUV itself is made with American parts and supporting American operations? Let’s take a look at some classic nameplates that are still American in their modern forms.

Jeep Cherokee Latitude and Trailhawk

The Jeep Cherokee nameplate has been around for a long time, and Jeep itself is generally associated with American brands and parts. It turns out that the Cherokee Latitude and Trailhawk trims especially boast a lot of American parts, to the tune of nearly 70%, and its construction supports a wide base of American operations. Different trims source their components from different places, which is why this listing specifically lists the Trailhawk and Latitude as the most American Cherokee trims. These are also two of the highest trims available. The Jeep Cherokee was one of the original family-friendly American SUVs that changed the market back in the 1990s.

Ford Explorer

It can be argued that the Ford Explorer completely revamped the American SUV landscape when it debuted in the 1990s. It also jumpstarted the next SUV boom in the market along with a few other brands like Jeep and Chevy. The Explorer is still around and still as family-friendly as ever. It’s also one of the most American SUVs available, with nearly as many domestic-made parts as the two Cherokee trims mentioned above. The Explorer also has a lot to offer with its choice of engines and a super luxurious Platinum trim. A new Ford Explorer for sale comes with a complete redesign that redefines the classic American SUV that changed the market years ago.

GMC Acadia

The Acadia is somewhat of an American classic in the sense that it was GMC’s first unibody crossover. It debuted in 2007 just as these types of vehicles were becoming more popular. The current Acadia boasts over half its parts coming from domestic sources. With its burly stance and two rows of seats, the Acadia is a popular choice for families who love the outdoors. It’s competent off-road and offers two powerful engine choices. The Acadia also gets good gas mileage for its size at 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway.

Cadillac XT Series

Of all the vehicles on this list, the Cadillac XT series is the newest. It consists of the XT4, XT5, and XT6, which all debuted after 2015. XT stands for crossover touring, and all three vehicles under this nameplate fit in the luxury crossover segment. The current XT series vehicles are also made with over half their parts from American factories. The XT series offers three sizes, from subcompact in the XT4 to compact in the XT5 to midsize in the XT6. Cadillac typically appeals to those looking for luxury in both cars and SUVs. It is a classic American brand in that respect.

If you want your American SUV to be as American as possible, you can’t go wrong with one of these primarily American SUVs.
