My new FX4 is scheduled to be assembled on 10/2 and I can say with confidence I'm glad it's you guys and nobody else

I make my money in America, I spend my money in America.

Good for you.

I realize people have the right to buy what they want but I do believe that the differences between American vehicles and their counter-parts are miniscule. If more people would buy American when they can instead of what's convenient, we would be a lot better off.

You do realize that the Rouge plant in Dearborn is in America too?

There are Toyotas that are more American made than the F-150. I just read an article about this, in fact the top two cars with most American content are Toyotas.

Hey TwinTurbo. Make sure everyone is rested and on their "A" game this coming Monday for me. My baby is supposed to be coming down the line that day. I have full confidence in you guys!

That's why we use as many robots as we can. So we don't have to count on the UAW. Haha. Your truck will come out great. Don't worry.

Yup, but the sticker indicates finally assembly in KC, plus it's my understanding that SCREWS are primarily assembled there.

The parts I make for this vehicle are made south of the border.
