Mexico or St. Louis?

[GregSmith]

My two previous Rams were both 2500 4x4 CTD, the first was a 1998. 5, the last a 2001. Both were built in St. Louis. Are all 2500 and 3500 now built in Mexico? No problem if it is-just curious. Thanks.

Both of my '03 2500 Cummins came from Mexico.

My '03 3500 is coming from Mexico as did my '92 D350 and '97 3500. Only my '00 3500 came from St Louis.

My 2500 was built in St. Louis, as was my last truck, an 01. 5 2500. It seems far more are built in Mexico though. No major assembly line issues noticed on the 03 to speak of.

I assume Dodge is using the same factories to build the new trucks as were in use when my 01. 5 was built. I am working from memory here, so forgive me if I make a mistake. If I remember correctly, there are THREE places than make the Dodge trucks. Besides St Louis and Saltillo, I think there is a place in Canada. I know there is a letter in the serial number than tells where the truck was built. Both of mine were built in Saltillo.



The quality of the Mexican built trucks seems to be excellent. I have no personal experience with the other plants, but I would expect they too are good. Only negative I see with a Mexican built truck is that it would be rather difficult to read the line sheet unless you can read Spanish! Mine are both in Spanish... which is no problem for me.

Both plants build 2500s, but all 3500s are from Saltillo this go-round. Saltillo was greatly expanded a couple of years ago to prepare for the closing of Lago Alberto (where my 96 was born).

Saltillo, Mexico VIN 78909, hope they did a good job!

My 03 2500 came from St. Louis. It was custom ordered. Seems like the dealer ordered trucks around here come from Mexico.
