It was discussed years ago on TDR that the trucks out of the Saltillo Truck Plant in Saltillo, Mexico were actually overall a better truck from a quality standpoint than the trucks out of the N. St. Louis Truck Plant.

...there was some Chrysler research to go along with it, but I cannot find the info now...it dealt with a corporate tracking of warranty claims and dealership service repairs by truck model, and final assembly points.

Either way, no you shouldn't have a problem with the Mexican trucks--they're fine.
