How The Best Selling Truck In America Is Built

Every 53 seconds a new F-150 is built.

This is destined to turn into a brand bashing segment lol.

Probably. And, I own an F-150. But, I much rather would prefer to own a GMC.

I own a F-150 and wish it was a Tundra. Amazing how many headaches they can cause in 53 seconds.

I own a Chevy and I'll just keep it. Love the F-150, though.

Doubt that was the build rate 20 years back …

I have driven mostly GM, bought a few Fords & Dodges - but my company vehicles were all Ford. Honestly, just took good care of each of them - and they worked hard and played hard … did well.
BiL has one of the early aluminum body F150’s with the ecoboost … been problem free …
Other BiL put 400k on a GM 1500 with tires, brakes, and 2 wheel bearings … on Mobil bulk 5w30 + transmission ATF job every 50k …

Good video, but a lot of it was the reoccurring shots of the robots assembling the body frame. It certainly gave the impression no people were doing any assembly. Would like to see other parts of the line. Thanks for the post.

Search YouTube for all kinds of assembly line videos.

Yup, there is actually people in this one. I want the job where the guy drives the new truck off the line to the parking lot.

All these videos could up the production values by adding more camera angles showing greater detail and lessening the repetitive stock-looking footage. Actually showing the rivets in a clear drawing would be illustrative.

A bucket of threaded fasteners was shown twice. No dyno pictures. No pictures of water testing.

Leave it to the plant manager to not follow safety rules by not wearing safety glasses in front of her workers...

Make mine a 1950 F2. Each to their own.

My friend built a 63 F100 as a Baja pre runner … had the fuel cell filler in back and cabinet maker did the bed.
Of course it had a B&B 383 stroker …

I miss the days of straight-six base F150s.

I hear that. Awesome times in my 4.9 six floor shift F-150. Although it did teach the true meaning of " what does FORD stand for " more than once.

Hate to be this guy but: AAACKTUALLY, GM is the top seller for the year of 2020. 847110 Silverado/Sierra vs 787422 F series.

Yep, they sold the most even though the new body style is in my opinion somewhat ugly.

What's break time like though?

This is correct info.

I've had several straight six engines and they all ran great, no issues. Sorry you got FORD-ed lol.
