"they cull the list by the location of final assembly – only vehicles made in the U.S. up for consideration. Then, they look at percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts, countries of origin for all available engines, countries of origin for all available transmissions and the U.S. manufacturing workforce."

Getting rid of the Italian engine and German made transmission option is probably what moved it up.

The 2024 and 2025 Gladiators have US made engines. They used to be made in Mexico.
That's a huge factor.
The automatic of course is made in the US

So since 2024, the whole drivetrain, engine, transmission, differentials/axles - US made

So yeah, reducing the engine and transmission options to only the US made moved it up.

Yeah, Gladiators will now pretty much match this, from my 2025 window sticker -
