This is why America is falling apart! We keep supporting all these 3rd world countries, selling there goods and out sourcing our labor! I hope they keep those things out of this country. This is part of the reason why the big had to scrap there 1/2 ton diesels. There's no reason why we can't build something like that!

if you look they are building these trucks in ohio somewhere so they are bringing more jobs to the U.S by bringing these trucks here. Its no different than dodge having the trucks made in mexico and etc....

Your assuming there going to higher americans and not bring in there own people? I still don't think it's right! We, as Americans can build the same but the American manufactures are to busy trying to compete with german & japaneses car manufactures! We need to cut off our dependency of foreign goods and products! If we did this our country wouldn't be in the shape it is today and that's the bottom line!

Cheaper @ who's expense? We have 1000s of people out of work right now because of this! How many of these out of work people would love to have one of these jobs that's outsourced to another country? My guess is quiet a few.
