Yes, it is the 150 but it's interesting nonetheless. Click on the video to see a little bit of the assembly plan in Dearborn, MI.

When I read the KTP Forums there are often complaints about tired joints and swollen hands when production is at max. Even with the robots and specialized fasteners and tools it cannot be an easy job and get it right every time day after day and week after week. Watching the speed things travel makes me think of how badly one little glitch in a part can destroy the process or even a minor delay in logistics brings everything to a halt. Thanks for posting!!

Did you guys try the 360 degree feature? Start the video and then click and drag the view. You can see what is behind the camera and into the parts bins. Fascinating.

That's cool! Thanks for sharing. It's one thing to design the truck. It's a whole other thing to design the plant to build those trucks.

I could watch these videos all day long. Endlessly fascinating:
It's ok to put up a F150 video now that the cabs are shared, isn't it?

One of the best factory tours I have been on. They show many aspects of the build. At the end you get to look out to the inside holding area that is huge. There were Lincoln pick up trucks mixed in that were heading for Mexico. The Raptor was not on the streets yet but there were some also mixed in. Not many visitors noticed the unusual trucks in the mass of F150s. Must see tour.
