If you work at Norfolk, why would you buy a truck build in KC?? I'd love to drive a truck that I knew I had a hand in building!

I only want it if it will make my truck sound manly. I have to wait until I get paid anyway, which is in a couple days. The wife says so, and so did my bank. LOL

Well its good to hear that Norfolk will be around for a while, because if they close Norfolk, they close a quality plant that builds quality vehicles. What they need to do is close the KC plant.

Mine was built at KC. Its been all good aside from a crooked rear bumper (had it fixed, free) and the cowl would sort of pop up in the center... Also fixed free.

Chris, Ya you like that Magnaflow! Mines the 18".... Too bad I had ordered a second tip on accident and I gave it away... Could have been yours for free. If you want one they are $25 shipped off eBay.

Hey whats up with that Fusion! We are back in town tomorrow eve... We wanna buy it!

I type this wirelessly from a balcony in Newport Beach, Ca. Stealing someone's internet. lol

Whats up fellow Ford employee? There are rumors that we are scheduled for 6 down weeks before the normal 2 week shutdown in July, but it is all rumor. I won't complain though cause we get subpay. Any rumors like that going around your plant? I used to drive by KTP when I was in the Army and stationed in Fort Knox. I had to drive up to Louisville to drop my wife off at work at UPS.

I believe KC is the only place that they build SuperCrews. My first two 150's came from the Norfolk plant, an 85 and a 97. My Screw is from KC.

I lied in a previous post. My truck was made in KC. It was my previous STX that was born in Norfolk. Still, either way not many problems. Nothing except a reflash and some brake work (forgot to mention that before).

My 2005 Super Crew also built in Dearborn.

I also just want to tell all of you auto workers - You build one hell-of-a good truck !

I traded a Toyota 4X4 for a 2004 Super Cab 4X4 (also built in Dearborn). My wife convinced me that we needed more back seat room so I moved up to a 2005 Super Crew. This one is even better than the 2004.

Keep up the good work
