Default confused
My 2007 Dakota door tag states it is built in Canada, while the vin starts with #1, indicating built in USA, any one know which is correct?

None of them were assembled in Canada. Parts made around the world.

#1 = USA, sorry Canada...


1st position of VIN, Possible choices are:
  • 1 = USA
  • 2 = Canada
  • 3 = Mexico


Welcome aboard.

built (as in the where the parts are made) and assembled are two different things. the parts may be mostly made in mexico, where they put them together is a whole other story. The VIN code might just be where it's assembled.
