I saw at least one MaxTow with towing mirrors coming off that line! About time these are available - now to see them hit the dealer lots.

If anyone ever has the opportunity I highly suggest taking a tour of your local auto manufacturing company, pretty impressive! Always a sight to see.

Yes, the cab & bed drop in about 20 seconds. The cab and bed are bolted down, then the whole platform moves forward, the platform spins 180 degrees, crosses the aisle, and continues back the other direction. That's the point in the assembly process that your truck is standing on its own four wheels for the very first time.

Even crazier is the two giant robotic arms that simultaneously install both the front windshield and the rear window in about 25 seconds.
