I know almost nothing about auto manufacturing. I started wondering... Do tremors go down the same assembly line?

They are a considered a different body code when ordering. Because of the front end they seem to be their own model. Do they build right next to the standard body? Or, do they have to run a bunch all at the same time?

Bronco Sport is also made at the same assembly plant as Maverick.

Everything goes down the same line. Bronco Sport and Maverick units are built interchangeably on the same line; the computer helps them sort incoming parts in the right order. So the same line worker might install a Maverick Lariat Tremor's black Active-X seats on one unit, then the base cloth seats in a base Bronco Sport on the next.

Some models at some plants then go to another shop for further work, such as a "mod center". Some big Broncos need to go there, for instance, because they need extra equipment not normally installed on the line. But that's not going to affect something like the Tremor package. It'll all get installed on the main line.

I saw a video where mavericks were on a line and in the background you could see a line of Bronco Sports.
