Just ordered the 2011. The vin on it starts with a 4 so I guess it is American made. If it wasn't, I would send it back, lol.

It never ceases to amaze me the awesome information that is readily at hand on these internet forums!

I love it!

Thanks everyone!

Cars and trucks VIN #s are the same. W in a VIN # = German, J in a VIN # = Japan. 2 = Canada, 1 or 4 = USA.

BTW the VIN for Mexico is a 3. I didn't know the one for Germany. Thanks Weedy for teaching me something new.
