I still own what I think is the last of the REAL compact pickups built. 2011 v6 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 extended cab. its built of real steal and minimal computer garbage. Todays ford trucks are thin stamped metal and 4cyl engines with a turbo to force power out of something it shouldn't. Has a standard trans and not some computer drives 8 speed automatic. It has 63k miles on it and has never seen the dealer since driving it away in December of 2010. Ill keep it over any small new truck today.
We had Broncos and an Expedition built there but I don’t know if any F-150 we had from there. Our trucks were all Norfolk or Kansas City. I’m excited to get the new Bronco soon built once again where it belongs in WAYNE!!!
I bought an F100 (1981) Australian delivered. It was the worst rust bucket (even in Australia) I have ever owned!. The plastic interior had started falling apart, even before I took delivery!
My 1931 Ford engine can from Dearborn, final assembly, Norfolk. My 2020 F150 Supercrew , 2.7 EB engine made Lima, Ohio it final assembled at Dearborn. My wife's 2020 ecosport 2.0l Duritic engine was made in Dearborn, assembled (final, India).I purchased 2 Ford cars during the China VIRUS..
If you pause it at 03:52 I can say I've never seen a paint job in 2 tone like that with the hood and top parts of the fenders in black to match the bottom black Unless that's a rubber covering on the hood
This amazes me....How the heck could automakers get "tooled up" so quickly for model year changeovers...Seems like it would take almost a year just to do the changeover....
The reason auto plants can retool for model changeover so quickly is due to the training of skilled tradesmen who went through an apprenticeship program that makes product assembly plants run so efficiently. Although this is a speedy time lapse video, the job to transform the assembly plant to produce new model's, or entirely new vehicles is done by highly trained and skilled tradesmen and trades women. Too bad the younger generation in our society today want to keep their fingers and hands super clean sitting on their asses, and want a starting salary of 100 grand. If it wasn't for skilled trades people, you wouldn't have an automobile, airplane, furniture, or even the cell phone you're holding in your hand to watch UA-cam. This country will grind to a complete halt when the snowflake generation have children. Due to the fact that their parents will raise them to be more of a pussy than they are. We will all benefit when the snowflake generation melts into the ground.
assembly line for inventory makers in michigan need Microsoft and all the rest of the country because of windows programming. And how it is ran it's a product maker for business and not working because business not listerning when marked gps. For no excuse for what's going on and how they have it dealing with the construction of getting that stuff together when it deals with that and how it works dealing with the system and how the construction of the the actual factories and the plantations of the robotic systems are not command by the the outside of the owners dealing with the construction of making multiple products and items star metal and certain different items that cannot be made by men but only by computer can Microsoft Windows tablet computer was putting people have seen that that does for the multiple production of it which they're killing which does not go to the main companies are production in America which is which is Michigan it needs to be one fixed dealing with the IQ go look up like you on UA-cam and the rest of the internet and to actually look at the facts to look at all of your what IQ is for the level of the country which means that they're not found the rest of the rules and regulations of the country they need to fix and put the rest of the paperwork together for us to win the competition with the other country competition India is also dumb is which is also was not
Right out of high school in late 89 I bought a brand new f350 Crewcab diesel, came from this very plant.

Old Twin I beam Fords were the best trucks.
Only if you owned a tire store, tire wear on the early ones was terrible

There is another F150 plant in Kansas City.
My 1990 f350 has a tag on the rear window showing "Michigan Truck". I dont know about 03

Michigan Truck, home of the Bronco

Wonder what happened to the black 3,000,000 Ford in the video here

Definetly paint. Odd
I’ve never seen that 2 tone style like that either. Maybe it was a special order.
