Ford Restart - Are these pics from Dearborn?
DearbornDerek replied to 09KR0058's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
That would be chassis line 5. It's not so much moving backwards, it's more that the skillets don't get turned around to move forward. -
Nope. Everything comes down the line at the same time time. I may be wrong but I think we build them in the order the orders come into the plant.

Not the real John Lindsey...

The new Bronco/Ranger/MAP thread
DearbornDerek replied to RichardJensen's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
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.... -

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... -

If its the bars I'm thinking of, they are not welded on and I think they are just for the 4X4. -

Thats what we did to the robots that were supposed to shoot the box bollts...They couldn't keep up with the line speed...

The bumpers are mounted on brackets that are welded to the frame.

the bumper is put on by a worker with a hoist before the body is dropped. Its secured by automation after the body is on. ^^^^ This right here...
