How long does it take just to build a Bronco? (not ship, not order, just build)

[QuiteTheMike]

I've been doing a good bit of googling around and the Google results are flooded with all manner of answer from people on various forums, many who don't really have an air of authority or even personal knowledge. After a lot of massaging my Google search input, I found this video from a few years ago, which features a factory worker claiming it took them roughly 20 hours from input to output at the MAP.

To my math, that's roughly 3 shifts to make one car.

I figure things have changed a bit now, but I found this video interesting and informative nonetheless:



I'd love to hear from someone with an authoritative take on the current production process.

I had a 5/2 blend and modules popped on 5/3 so 24 hours or less. I have toured the Hyundai plant and Mercedes plant in AL and that is about what I remember from both tours. Remember it is final assembly at MAP. All the parts are delivered on the blend date where final assembly begins which takes about a full 24 hours to get through the line

They build the chassis in a different area than the body.
Once both are completed you will see a blend date.
Then the get put together when the bins are filled with the appropriate parts.
20 hours may be correct, but I doubt that it is 20 consecutive hours.
Just my opinion.

This is as close to an accurate explanation as I’ve seen…

Generally, on your blend day, there can be up to 24 to 48 hours for it to complete depending on the order of its position for that day. That information is on the window sticker once you have it. If it is early in the blend day, it may get completed that day. If it is late in the blend day, it may not get completed till the next day.
Work on the chassis and the frame is occurring 24 to 48 hours prior to the blend day.
Things that can impact time.
Item shortages, engineering changes, QA checks, and options that require off-assembly line work. (paint protection film) and others.
