Roush does a lot for ford. Its also who Ford called for the Ford GT Race engine. They have a very strong partnership and better suited I am sure as Roush take factory line cars and does the conversion where the Ford Production facilities are not really suited to change things on the truck once they roll off the line.

Sorry. I meant geographically how far is it from the plant? I know what Roush does with and for Ford. Like are they driving trucks there, moving them on truck, etc...

Does anyone know any solid info on the OKTB?

Where's the roush facility relative to the Ford plant?

Can't be anything too major or difficult if they are letting a partner handle it.

Roush's Plymouth facility is about 20 miles away from the Dearborn Truck Plant.

They will move them on trucks. This is not the first time Ford has done this with a vehicle

oh nooooooo! I heard one of those red tool boxes fell from the side of the truck and went straight thru the bed and busted the axle. FORD is now having to re-enforce that portion of the bed with a hybrid piece of aluminum and steel...

You sure its not Roush Yates for the Ford GT Engines?

Wonder if this is why my Build date got pushed back 5 days.

They are actually going back to full steel and because of that they have to put a V8 back in it.

Interesting to know how close some of the trucks were to delivery, before they were essentially recalled.
