Ford is claiming to be the “most American of all car companies” as the automaker built more than 1.8 million vehicles in the United States last year. That’s 130,000 more than the second place automaker, which Ford declined to mention by name.

Nearly 80% of Ford vehicles sold in the United States are built in the country, and the company is also America’s top auto exporter. Last year, the automaker exported 260,000 vehicles built in the United States including the Mustang, Explorer, and F-150. That’s 65,000 more than the closest competitor and Ford said approximately one out of every seven vehicles made in the United States is exported.

Considering that Ford builds the most vehicles in the United States, it shouldn’t be surprising to learn they also employ the most hourly manufacturing workers. There’s approximately 57,000 of them, although Ford and its partners aim to add more than 18,000 new manufacturing jobs over the course of the next three years.

6,000 will be at Blue Oval City in West Tennessee, where Ford will build the second-generation F-150 Lightning as well as batteries with partner SK On. Another 5,000 jobs will be created by the BlueOval SK Battery Park in Glendale, Kentucky, while 2,500 jobs are coming to the BlueOval Battery Park in Marshall, Michigan.

While many of the new jobs are focused on battery production, Ford will add a third shift to the Kansas City Assembly Plant and this should result in 1,100 new union jobs. Employees there will build the Transit and E-Transit.

Another 1,800 union jobs are coming to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake as Ford will build an all-new electric commercial vehicle starting mid-decade.
