What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Stellantis is evaluating whether to move the production of Ram heavy-duty pickup trucks from its plant in Saltillo, Mexico, to its facility in Warren, Michigan. The potential shift is linked to tariffs placed on Mexican-made vehicles by President Trump. The Saltillo plant currently produces the Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 heavy-duty trucks for the U.S. market.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decision hinges on whether the move makes business sense, requiring Stellantis to compare the cost of Mexican-made parts subject to tariffs against the cost of U.S.-made parts without tariffs. The Warren plant has excess capacity and has historically produced only the Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
