  1. Personally I would rather see a two door full size Bronco than a small unibody Bronco and by that I mean put a Bronco body on an F150 regular cab chassis.

     

    So, a two door expedition then....cause thats what they are...just with an independent rear suspension instead of a solid rear axel. The Bronco never died...it morphed into the expedition...Thats why I think the new Bronco will be mid-size or smaller.

     

    I have a feeling that what ever comes out of MAP will be compact. I'm still leaning towards transit connect based, only because I think Ford needs somewhere state side to build them...But these are just my opinions and opinions are like....

  2. That's not true. Only difference between the two is KCAP builds all 8ft beds, DTP builds all Raptors.

     

    Lots of retail orders araare filled by KCAP.

     

    I think we (DTP) are the only one producing the Platinum and I'm not sure if KCAP got any King Ranch production back. Last model the Platinum/Raptor were DTP only and the King Ranch was KCAP only (as well as all 8' boxes) who knows the mix now...All I know is there are a lot of high end trucks rolling past me every night...

  3.  

    Is the F150 significantly higher than comparably equipped GM, Ram, Tundra, or Titan trucks? I'm asking because I honestly don't know.

     

    Starting price: (Regular cab, 4X2, base package)

    Ram: $26,105

    Silverado:$27,365

    Tundra: $29,610

    Titan (does not offer regular cab):$29,640

    F-150: $25,800

     

    Top of the line: (crew cab, 4X4, top trim level)

    Ram: $53,930

    Silverado: $52,735

    Tundra: $44,435

    Titan: $44,955

    F-150: $54,775

     

    So the F-150 is the cheapest and the most expensive...

  4. The plant is on break at 9:30, 11:30 and 2:30 for a half hour each, so you won't get to see any of the cool stuff. give the museum at least 2 hours. I can't speak to the village, I haven't been there since I was in 3rd grade.

     

    We do tag relief. Plant starts up at 6am and runs till lunch at 11:50. Starts up again at 12:20 and runs till shift ends at 4:30. Afternoon shift starts at 5:30.

  5. Bobby - don't believe everything you read.

     

    This right here...I read where someone had stated that 1000 trucks burnt up...Funny, I never noticed a firebomed wasteland outside the plant (well maybe to south where the steel mill is)...Haters going to hate and for some reason post fake info all over the internet...

  6. At KCAP our problem is medical restricted new hires. If managent tries to put them on a job they run to medical. These are people with less than 2 or 3 years

     

     

    Hell we got people with less then 3 MONTHS doing that at DTP..... :headscratch:

  7. It sounds like Fields wants to continue Raptor production at Kansas City after Dearborn shuts down for changeover.

     

     

    I've heard before that the Raptor can't go through the system at KCAP...Which could be why our production has more or less doubled...Use to be 3 or 4 an hour, now we are doing about 8 or 9...
