Default bulid location question?

Has anyone heard of/or know first hand if there is any difference pro's/cons when you compare a 2nd gen built at the dodge plant in Warren,Mi and the Mexico plant?

I know there will be people that say that it was built by ******** or dont buy a truck built in warren that was assembled on a Friday( I know first hand what happens, as my dad worked there for 27 years)

Just a question that popped up when I was reading this forum

Thanks

Rich

Those pesky Warren-built, assembled-on-a-Friday, 2nd-gen-dodge-ram trucks are a pile of junk, trust me.
