After being fully shut down for eight days, workers streamed into the Dearborn Truck Plant for the 6 a.m. shift Friday and rolled the first F-150 off the line before 6:01 a.m. Show "We build one F-150 every 52 seconds at this plant," said Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, who was on site by 5:30 a.m. "It was beautiful to see, just beautiful."  Sorry, ElonThe F-Series would actually be the 80th largest company in the U.S. in terms of revenue, Ford proudly notes. Bigger than Nike, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Tesla, MasterCard, Netflix, VISA, Uber, CapitalOne, Twitter and Southwest Airlines. "I'm honored to work on the F-150. It's the backbone of America," said mechanical engineer Jackie Dimarco, director of Ford truck strategy. The bestselling F-150 and its F-Series siblings are Ford's most valuable franchise and they're more important now than ever because the company has forecast a $5-billion loss in second quarter after a two-month industry shutdown related to the coronavirus. The F-150 is sometimes called the "golden goose" by analysts, and they say Ford's financial health depends on the F-Series. F-150 prices can start at $28,745 and exceed $75,000 with, as Ford executives like to say, "all the bells and whistles." The average cost of the F-Series is $51,585. Recent U.S. sales of the F-Series reflect America's passion for pickups:
The Ford F-150 was the most considered pickup truck among shoppers by a wide margin during the first three months of this year, according to Kelley Blue Book. "If one looked at a bar graph showing sales of every vehicle ever conceived and sold by mankind, that bar graph looks roughly like a side profile of a lawn with a dandelion in it, That dandelion is the F-Series," said Eric Noble, president of The CarLab, a car design consultancy based in Orange County, California. "If you think about it, this thing sells half a million to a million units a year and basically has been killing it for 100 years," he said. "People argue about how long the F-Series has been the sales leader. Farmers all over America just took the beds from their wagons and put them on the back of Model Ts. Ford was the first manufacturer to make pickup trucks in an assembly plant."
