Probably from the Plant to the mixing yard in Flat Rock Mi....from there it might have to age like a fine wine. Hope it is delivered ASAP to you!I absolutely will not sit here and read this negativity from Tex and a MOD. All in good fun,
In the many times I pestered my dealer about my truck's location, the name "Woodhaven" came up.Probably from the Plant to the mixing yard in Flat Rock Mi....from there it might have to age like a fine wine. Hope it is delivered ASAP to you!

Hi MoKume,In the many times I pestered my dealer about my truck's location, the name "Woodhaven" came up.
Pardon my ignorance Phil, what is a "mixing yard"?
Thanks Phil,Hi MoKume,
Woodhaven was correct...Flat Rock is the next door town... We downriver rats us them interchangeably but but you are correct...the mixing yard is in Woodhaven.... It is just West of I75 and is a Ginormous yard with vehicles mostly chock a block filled to the gills...

Good god! I sure hope not but if they do, then these young Rangers may need psychological counseling.Thanks Phil,
But I'm aghast...did my truck have to mingle with such riff-raff from GM (Flint & Lansing assy.) or, worse yet FCA (Sterling Hts., Jefferson North, etc) while @ Woodhaven?
A good friend of mine owned a Ford dealership until he retired, and I used to go with him to Ford dealer meetings when my schedule permitted. What blew my mind the most were some of the ones we went to in Detroit--right there in Renaissance Center where GM Headquarters is located. During breaks we would step out onto the mezzanine and look at all the famous cars from General Motors. Oh, and when we registered at the meetings, we had to sign that we wouldn't divulge what we saw and heard there!Good god!

If I am not mistaken, my 2020 is the first Ford I've owned that was assembled in Michigan, the previous 3 new trucks came either from the Twin Cities plant in MN or St. Louis, MO.A good friend of mine owned a Ford dealership until he retired, and I used to go with him to Ford dealer meetings when my schedule permitted.

I think it is kind of cool that both of our vehicles were assembled at MAP - Our C-Max was assembled there before they shut down to re-tool for the Ranger. They both have the same MAP sticker on them and both have been GREAT vehicles. The C-Max is now almost 4 years old and it has been at the dealer once for some sensor that went out. Other than normal maintenance, we've done nothing to it. Ranger is at 10 months now, and I took it in for a mirror light that leaked and I will need to take it in for the recall (although I highly doubt it will be affected) - but otherwise no issues at all. I couldn't be happier with both vehicles.If I am not mistaken, my 2020 is the first Ford I've owned that was assembled in Michigan, the previous 3 new trucks came either from the Twin Cities plant in MN or St. Louis, MO.
My first new car, a '79 Mercury Capri was assembled in San Jose, CA.
Similar experience with my 2015 Fusion Hybrid (71,000 miles). Only problem so far was swelled lug nuts that had to be replaced. Hoping my experience with the new Ranger is similar.I think it is kind of cool that both of our vehicles were assembled at MAP - Our C-Max was assembled there before they shut down to re-tool for the Ranger.

I think my prior Rangers were built in Twin Cities if I'm not mistaken.

MAP (Michigan Assembly Plant) is where all Rangers are built as of now. There is no other plant that produces them. If sales start taking off, that might change I suppose. MAP will produce the new Bronco as well.My truck was assembled at the Michigan Truck Plant.
I did some research on Michigan Assembly, the plant opened in 1957 and is located in Wayne, MI.MAP (Michigan Assembly Plant) is where all Rangers are built as of now.
