do those plants make parts, whole vehicles, or both?

I don't know, but the US auto industry mostly assembles the final vehicle from my understanding. The parts are frequently made elsewhere and shipped in. They can say it's made in the US because the assembly is completed here.

Imported trucks need to be built in the US, but domestic trucks can be built outside the US.
