Which Factory Is The Best???

Im not sure how many Factories Ford uses to build the F-150 but I was wondering if anyone knows which factory has the best track record as far as putting out quality trucks. Things like blemishes,messups etc? My truck was made in Dearborn. Any stats on these factories?

My previous truck (05 SCREW) and current were assembled in the Kansas plant without problems.

Isn't the Norfolk assembly plant scheduled to close?

I've got a Kansas City plant truck that I'm extremely pleased with. The Dearborn facility had some teething problems but maybe it's ironed out by now

my '05 from dearborn had some problems with it, but they were all minor...

This current '05 from Kansas has been flawless so far..

Mine was made in Norfolk last March so it must be the best.

Norfolk is closing...

Two KC built SCREWS (2001 and 2005), both have been FLAWLESS.

My truck was built at Norfolk. Bunch of annoying problems, nothing major, 'least nothing out of the ordinary for a first year new model.

Mine was made in Norfolk. I've only had it for a few months but I haven't had any problems. And yes the Norfolk plant is closing.
