Could you get in my Maverick and drive it inside the train? Thank you!

Wow, that picture of the Bronco Sport being swallowed up by some modern art mouth behind two dead potted plants and dead grass is really nice in front of a major auto manufacture's facility.................... Ford is right on top of the situation............... 
I still love my Mav though.............

Hahaha. You can guarantee that came from the bottom of my patience glass haha
If you scroll to the left or zoom out the second image, you can see my Maverick trying to escape. It just needs to be captured and driven into the train. That's the only logical explanation
All jokes aside. Cool stop @Mave-Rick!

Super cool. You look like you have an ID badge- do they let the public tour the plant? You get any more pics? Maybe a shared album or your YouTube channel?
Landscaping looks fine. I'd rather they be building Mavericks than watering the grass.Wow, that picture of the Bronco Sport being swallowed up by some modern art mouth behind two dead potted plants and dead grass is really nice in front of a major auto manufacture's facility....................

Awesome! Did you tour the plant? What were your impressions? Did you get a sense of the time between units coming off the line? I'd expect that to be something around 60 seconds, based on my experience. Really cool that you were there. I hope they are doing quality work! Mine was scheduled to be built this week. Congrats on your new Maverick!Visited the plant and my truck happened to get built while I was there

Very cool! A word of caution: just because its being built doesn't mean you'll have it soon. I'm still waiting for my truck to leave the factory after being built a month ago.Visited the plant and my truck happened to get built while I was there
Hermosillo is a very very hot city... However, in the winter it is known to get brief overnight cold snaps due to absolutely no atmosphere in the dry winter (nothing to hold in the heat overnight)... That's put pressure on the bermuda grass of that lawn, and it starts to brown out (go dormant)... Ditto for the shrubs in the pots, they begin to yellow. (I have those too in my home in Alamos Sonora (about 5hrs south of Hermosillo) and they yellow out too with an overnight cold snap. Plants that have to survive a constant 120 degF during the summer, don't take kindly to 35-40degF overnight temps in the winter.Wow, that picture of the Bronco Sport being swallowed up by some modern art mouth behind two dead potted plants and dead grass is really nice in front of a major auto manufacture's facility....................

That said, Ford definitely is not trying to win a beauty contest with the outside of the plant.... It is very much in line with how everyone keeps their industrial sites in Mexico. Take a visit to Roca Fuerte in Guaymas and a have a look at the BFGoodrich and Intec manufacturing sites or Bella Vista in Empalme and have a look at Tyco or CooperStandard sites (concrete jungles), both just 1-1/2 hrs south of the HMO Ford Plant. I've done work at all four of them. The only company that keeps very nice manufacturing sites in Sonora (trees trimmed, grass cut, gardens weeded, sidewalks clean, parking lots clean, walls painted and in good repair) is Coca-Cola.... They are a model for well kept facilities in Mexico.
Don't even get me started with how manufacturing sites are kept in Reynosa, Tamaulipas...
Yes, but it is in Spanish. Habla usted Español?
Do you think they are using the money saved to increase the quality of the Mav or could bottom line profits be involved??? Probably using the money saved to do R&D on a plug-in hybrid............
