Uh they already use robots to Paint the vehicle!!!This is the problem with Ford, and any other manufacturers, trying to make one vehicle to meet the Base model expectations and only adding components--that many in the off-road community regard as DIY or local shop accessories--and charging MSRPs that have people cross-shopping Land Rover.
90% of every Bronco is a $35K vehicle and manufactured to those standards. The Base models run down the line the Wildtraks do and Ford doesn't separate them out and take a scanning tunneling microscope to the paint on the Broncos that will be priced twice as much as a Base. It's a similar story with Lincolns, which I sold alongside Fords back in the day, and the paint is the paint and always will look like that from the factory.
*Those bolts being over-torqued is one of my soapbox talking points about why we need more robots in American manufacturing and fewer humans. You can argue pro-union and living wage, etc. all you want but it hasn't stopped foreign manufacturing from absolutely crushing ours. Jimmy Uggadugga's 80K/yr salary with benefits for screwing your paint up could've been saved over the past 20yrs and a better paint system employed, but no.
**Yes, that money would've probably gone to the C-suite but their crap is being supported by the stock market gamblers--yes, it's just legalized gambling.
That's... also what she said?
