The automaker has done such a great job of marketing its vehicles that when you think of an all-American truck, you&rsquo;re likely envisioning an F-150.

This multinational automaker was founded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/web-stories\/henry-ford-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Henry Ford\">Henry Ford<\/a> in 1903. It set up its headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan and expanded internationally by 1904.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford has since grown into a huge multinational auto corporation with numerous manufacturing plants abroad as well as joint ventures outside of the US. Although it remains an American car brand, many parts are not exclusively manufactured in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automaker also produces and markets vehicles overseas. Some plants manufacture Ford parts in countries like Mexico, Canada, and China. According to Brandirectory&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/brandirectory.com\/rankings\/auto\/2020\/table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Automotive Industry 2020 world rankings\">Automotive Industry 2020 world rankings<\/a>, Ford ranks 7th as the most popular auto brand, with an estimate of $18.5M sales.

China is one of its most prominent manufacturers, housing six huge Ford manufacturing plants. Ford has joint ventures in China (Changan Ford), Taiwan (Ford Lio Ho), Thailand (AutoAlliance Thailand), Turkey (Ford Otosan), and Russia (Ford Sollers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly all Ford vehicles sold in North America are manufactured in the United States with the help of a few plants in Mexico and Canada.
