It'll be in your VIN. They're made in Detroit, Mexico or Texas I think. Mine was made in Detroit.

Vins have certain codes of what options and other things the truck has.
Just google ram vin decoder and plug in your vin, or it'll tell you how to decide it.

If you have a regular cab it is built in mexico. Anything else is built at the warren plant in michigan. The first digit of the vin is the country it was built. 1 is USA, 2 is Canada, 3 is mexico.

My crew cab express was built in the Warren, MI plant. Engine assembled in Mexico. It's on your window sticker too under the country of origin information.

Parts of the wiring are Mexico also. Nothing wrong with that, I know a couple people at those plants.

St. Louis is not producing Rams.
If your truck was built in warren, you should bring in for toe alignment. Mexico plant does not have the alignment issues, if there are any. I can't state my reasoning, please don't ask.

My owners manual had a paper tucked into it, showing it was built in Warren, and the dealership it was first shipped to.
I'd rather not get into which plant I'd rather have it built in, but it was interesting to know.

No build dates. Not an enormous issue, just saying if your toe seems oddly out, don't second guess taking it in. :)
My truck will be going in very soon, just for peace of mind.

My left front tire keeps chopping, I am assuming it is toe but the dealer disagrees.
