Build time?

Knowing that the components, i.e. motor, transmission, body panels, are already created I'm curious how long it takes to assemble an F150. Specifically, I would like to know how long a truck is on the assembly line from when the first part is laid until it is driven away.

In the perfect world:

How long does it take to build a new truck from start to finish?
An average car has about 30,000 parts. Once those parts are manufactured and brought to the final production line, it takes automakers about 18 to 35 hours to produce one mass-market vehicle – from welding to full engine assembly to painting.Oct 17, 2022
