This video offers an in-depth look at the production of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center. It highlights the advanced technology and robotics employed, such as the large Fanuc robots for heavy lifting and AGVs for flexible assembly. The review emphasizes Ford's focus on integrating experienced human labor with new technology, ensuring quality and efficiency. The editorial segment features Associate Editor Stefan Ogbac's first ride experience, noting the truck's surprising nimbleness and instant torque, comparing it favorably to performance sedans but with a less brutal delivery.
