I lost my ability to edit my last one for some reason so here's an updated list of current and Former Ford production facilities.

 

Below is a list of Ford's final assembly plants (both current and former) and their respective abbreviations. Hopefully this clears up any confusion for those who don't know and see people bringing them up in conversation.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________


OAC : Oakville Assembly Complex. Formerly OAP - Oakville Assembly Plant and OTP - Ontario Truck Plant
- Edge, Lincoln Nautilus

DTP : Dearborn Truck Plant. This is the assembly plant currently operating at the Rouge Complex
- F-150, F-150 Raptor, F-150 Diesel

MAP Michigan Assembly Plant. Formerly MTP - Michigan Truck plant and WAP - Wayne Assembly Plant. (MTP/MAP and WAP are technically separate facilities, MAP being active and WAP being closed). Wayne Assembly is mostly storage or empty now but a small part of the building is part of MAP ISA (Stamping) making parts for other plants. There's a big project going on in there now and it will become the MOD center for MAP, and a new autonomous vehicle center that was announced in spring 2019. 
- Ranger

- Future home of Bronco  

FRAP - Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Previously, this was called "AAI" from "Auto Alliance International", when Mazda and Ford had a joint ownership stake.

KCAP Kansas City Assembly Plant
- Line 1 - F150 (Except for Raptor and Diesel)
- Line 2 - Transit

HMO - Hermosillo Assembly Plant

CUAP - Cuautitlan Assembly Plant (like CAP, this abbreviation is used less often. Usually we use a misspelled version of Cuautitlan)
- Currently down for Retooling. Future home of Mustang Mach-E 

OHAP - Ohio Assembly Plant (in Avon Lake, on the outskirts of Cleveland)
- E-Series Cutaway, F650, F750, Super Duty Chassis Cab
