Raw Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Oh man, I wish they would have fly and drive. I love a good road trip. No (good) reason to build the truck and then have it sit for 60 days at the factory parking lot. I cringe at the thought of my new truck sitting out under the stars exposed to the elements, bird crap and whatever. My trucks are babied and garaged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I didn't know that was even an option. In the past was it by reservation only or could someone just stop in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondalon Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Yeah... This is one of the first things I asked the dealer after placing my order. I'd sure love to fly up to do a factory tour and drive my own new truck home. Hoped to save any shipping time and maybe even the D&D charge but I guess that's a no go unfortunately.

The only plant I'm aware of where you can take a tour and schedule to take delivery of your vehicle is the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, KY which is also home to the National Corvette Museum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisgb Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 When my grandfather retired from the railroad, He and Gramma took the train to Los Angeles to pick up their brand spanking new 1950 Plymouth from the factory, their first and last new car. There is a guy in our town that still has his 1966 Mustang that he picked up in Dearborn. He has a photo of it coming down the final few yards of the assembly line. These days, with heightened security, I think that the Rouge Center is the only plant within Ford that still does tours. I naively tried to get a tour and factory delivery at Oakville of my 2015 Flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVOGT Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 So going to Louisville LAPP to get my new Escape PHEV is just a dream..... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blott93 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I would love to do this for my first truck I've ever ordered. It would be a great way for Ford to make people more excited about the brand/vehicles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpd510 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 This would be great, I was able to drive off the line in a Porsche 911 back in 2007. Spend a week driving around Germany and shipped it back to the US which turned out to be a big PITA. being the first ass in the seat was cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescueohio Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I would love to go to the Kentucky Truck Plant to see my MY2022 F250 Super Duty being built and to move it off the assembly line when finished. I also understand the immense liability issues this would create with all of that are super eager to get our truck all showing up at the Plant.

I would love to drive down to KY and drive my new Expedition off the line. I have to believe there are some Mustang buyers out there that would love to do the same. Corvette does it in Bowling Green . . . I would definitely drive to Michigan from Ottawa, ON for this! Perhaps driving it across the border would be some decent paperwork required... but I'd pay $500 extra for this experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
