The Best US-Built Cars, Truck and SUV Of 2024

It’s the end of the year and no doubt you’ve been getting plastered by Car of the Year announcements, but the American Cars And Racing already knows what the real winners are.

That’s because we announce our US-Built Car Of The YearTM awards just before The Fourth of July to celebrate the best new American-made vehicles.

That doesn’t mean we can’t remind everyone what the winners were before 2025 rolls around, so here is an encore for those of you who missed out during the summer:
