Assembled in America / Our Assembly
Built here.
By us.
Every American Bantam® vehicle is assembled in the United States of America by American workers. That is not a marketing line. It is the operating model.

The Build Sequence
How we build it
Every vehicle traced from raw steel to delivery.
American Steel In
We source U.S.-melted, U.S.-poured steel. The origin of every coil is documented, traceable to the mill, the heat number, the date poured. Not because we have to. Because that is what America made means.
Fabrication & Stamping
Body panels are cut, stamped, and shaped with American Steel. The structural geometry of each vehicle, the frame rails, the crossmembers, the roll cage mounting points. American raw material becomes vehicle architecture.
Drivetrain & Suspension
Axles, suspension components, brake systems, and drivetrain are installed and aligned in the USA. 2WD in the Muritruck. 4WD in the Pilot and Copilot. Military-grade axle assemblies. 35-inch all-terrain tires on our Street-Legal Off-Road vehicles.
Body Fit & Interior
Hoods, fenders and bumpers are hung and adjusted in the USA. Interior components, seats, dash, safety restraints, are fitted and torqued to spec by American workers. Removable doors and cage components are matched to their vehicle. Each unit is treated as a one-to-one build, not a batch.
Final Inspection & Delivery
Every vehicle passes a documented final inspection before it ships right here in the United States of America. Electrical, mechanical, and structural checks. 8,501 lb. Gross Vehicle Weight Rated certified. Off-road capability verified. No vehicle will leave our factory that is not test driven by American employees. When you receive your American Bantam, it is ready to ride.
When a company’s name contains the word American, the products they sell in the USA must be built in the USA. No two ways about it.Charlie Paglee, Chairman & CEO, American Bantam Car Corp.
The Operating Model
Assembly is the entire mission.
American Assembly is not the finish line. It is the entire mission. American Bantam will not outsource its identity. The decision to build here, at higher cost, with more complexity, against the current of a half-century of offshoring, is not a marketing decision. It is a founding principle and operational mandate.
We are going to countries like China and Japan and bringing jobs from factories in those countries back to the USA. Component by component, year by year. Not because a tariff made us. Because it was always the right thing to do, and the American Bantam name says so on the front grille of every vehicle we build.
