So my brother just received his Maverick and my father and I both have one ordered. We were just wondering how long it actually takes a truck to go through the assembly line. I read an article once that a truck comes off of the line every 20 minutes, but we were just curious if anyone knows how long it actually takes from start to finish.

It takes about 12 hours total. From the time the vin number is assigned and the body is dropped to the assembly line until it rolls off the end of the line.. A completed vehicle rolls off the end of the line every forty two seconds

Also, the end of the assembly line doesn't mean the vehicle is necessarily complete. Spray in bed liner is a separate process and most of the exterior options get added later which extends the timeline.

Correct, at the mustang plant the carbon fiber wheels, spoiler or any stripes to be put on.It is done after it comes off the end of the line.. There have been instances where a car has been built for a month, but is still hanging around the plant to get something done

I remember when I was a kid my dad took me to the plant. They were making escorts and at the end of the line he said it was 62 cars per hour.

My Maverick was shipped 1 day after it was built (2/15/25 built, 2/16/2025 shipped).

According to this article the capacity for Hermosillo is 300,000 units annual. Likely based on 24x5x50 = 6,000 annual hours. Weekends would account for being able to run at 120%
So max capacity would be 50 units per hour. However that is split between Maverick and Bronco Sport. So the actual number per hour would depend on the production split between those 2 models for any given time period.
