December 10, 2012
Most of the 16 States that manufacture light vehicles dedicated at least two-thirds of total production to light trucks in 2011. Kansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee are the only States that produced more cars than light trucks. Five States – Missouri, Texas, South Carolina, Minnesota and Louisiana – manufactured light trucks exclusively. Light trucks include pickups, vans, and sport-utility vehicles.
