All lightnings are made in Canada at the Oakville plant.

TXSVTLIGHTNING try this:

Plant Name: Ontario Truck
Location: Oakville (suburb of Toronto)


BTW, the assembly plant name is listed on your window sticker in the box titled "Final Assembly Point".

(There are actually two assembly plants in Oakville. They are backed up next to each other, so that you walk out the back door of one and go about 100' into the back door of the other.

One plant is called Ontario Truck and makes the L's and other light trucks.

The other one is called Oakville Assembly and makes Windstars. If my memory serves me correctly the only thing they share is thier rail shipout (multi-level).)

Hope this helps
