except 40 hours does not go as far as it did 10 years ago....

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...

Trust me...We are all like "WTF???"... And we started running regular cabs again this week.

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

Regular cab, 6.5' box, 4X4, sport package (more or less STX), 5.0L, spay in liner, soft top tonneau, tail gate step....$35,910

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...

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.

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...

I was under the impression the whole panel would be replaced. I had the side panel replaced on my 04 and they had it a week. Take the old panel off and weld the new one on. With the 15 it would just be a matter of rivits and bonding agent...
