the other thing I found interesting, is I didn't see a SINGLE harley truck on the assembly line. is there another plant where trucks are built? I saw lots of Raptors, and even a limited with the white wheels on the video, but no HD F-150's.

They used to make F150's at the Claycomo plant in Kansas, City where the Escape is built... Not sure if they still do now... Ill have to check inot it... Randy should know... Just checked and they still make the F150 there so the Harleys could be made there...

Thought it was pretty good. Stayed to to the rest of the ultimate factories of the other car manufactures that they have done (i.e. time spent on part assembly, paint & body, testing, machine used the line, small tidbits of what makes the factory special). Definatly want to get one of the "built without your tax dollars" t-shirts.

ah okay that makes sense. I know the Gen 1 HD's, the 00's were built in Ontario, Canada, and the 01-03's were built in Kansas City. Wasn't sure where the latest Gen HD's were built.

2011 but still pretty cool to watch. You noticed how when they really wanted to highlight the F150 it was always a Raptor! The little Raptor segment at the end with Jamal was nice too!
