No actual live sounds from the factory, just background music.It seems to work for me. Is there supposed to be no sound?
And all the US plants weren't already built? They just as easily could have built the Bronco Sport and Maverick alongside the stablemate Escape in the Louisville plant, and likely would have if 15% tariffs had been in place. Just kind of sad that Honda and Hyundai have no problem building their smaller trucks in the US, and Cars.com actually gave the Ridgeline a more American-made index score than the F-150. Definitely one aspect I'm not happy about, jumping on the outsourcing bandwagon.Because this plant was already built? Not having a whole new assembly plant to establish is a pretty important factor when you're aiming to build your lineup's cheapest vehicle on a rapid development timescale.
3? Overachiever
The Bronco and Ranger come down the same line mixed as well.I did not know that the Maverick and Bronco Sport were built on a mixed line like that. I just assumed it was one, then the other. All one type for X amount of vehicles, and then a complete switch. By week, or by month. And maybe they don't actually mix them like it appeared in the video. But it sure appeared that way.
Thanks for posting the video!
