Default Factory pick up

If I buy a new F-150 can I pick it up at the factory and drive it off the assembly liner?

I can't answer directly but my truck was purchased directly from Ford. I had to pick a local dealer for it to be shipped to for delivery preparation. My guess is they wouldn't allow it as the vehicles come off the line for shipment and need additional things done prior to delivery to the customer.

No. You can't do that.

As nice as it'd be, there is one rolling off the line every minute. Logistically impossible.

Factory don't sell trucks to the public, they sell them to authorized dealers.

I've watched a lot of cars come off the assembly line. But they are driven before they are finished. So if by some chance you could get access to your truck at the time it is completely finished and get permission to drive it. It still would have been driven by someone else before you.

No matter how you purchase, it has to be "courtesy delived" by an authorized Ford dealer.

Teamsters Transportation union would pitch a bitch over any of this. That is one of the reasons why delivery charges are line item separate.
