Where are Ford F-150 trucks manufactured?
Ford F-150 trucks are manufactured primarily at two U.S. plants: the Dearborn Truck Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri. The all-electric F-150 Lightning is built at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan.
The production footprint reflects Ford’s mix of traditional gasoline-powered pickups and its growing electric lineup. While most gas-powered F-150s continue to roll out of Dearborn and Kansas City, Ford has dedicated the Rouge campus to electrified F-Series production, underscoring a broader shift toward electrification while maintaining a robust domestic manufacturing presence for the best-selling pickup.
Primary assembly sites
The following are the main facilities that currently assemble Ford F-150 trucks for U.S. markets. Each site plays a distinct role in delivering both conventional and electric variants.
- Dearborn Truck Plant — Dearborn, Michigan: A long-running site that produces gasoline-powered F-150 pickups as part of Ford’s Detroit-area manufacturing footprint.
- Kansas City Assembly Plant — Claycomo, Missouri: Responsible for additional gasoline-powered F-150 production to supply North American demand.
- Rouge Electric Vehicle Center — Dearborn, Michigan: Dedicated facility within the Rouge complex that builds the all-electric F-150 Lightning.
Together, these facilities illustrate Ford’s multi-site strategy for the F-150, pairing established gasoline production in Michigan and Missouri with concentrated electrified output at Rouge.
What you’ll find at each site
Here's a quick guide to the primary roles of each facility in producing F-150 variants.
- Dearborn Truck Plant (Dearborn, MI) — Gasoline-powered F-150 variants and various cab/bed configurations are assembled here as part of Ford’s traditional pickup lineup.
- Kansas City Assembly Plant (Claycomo, MO) — Additional gasoline F-150 production to meet regional demand and model mix.
- Rouge Electric Vehicle Center (Dearborn, MI) — All-electric F-150 Lightning production, representing Ford’s electrification push within the F-Series.
These roles can shift with model year changes, market demand, and supply-chain considerations, but the current layout emphasizes two core gas-powered production sites and a dedicated EV site for the Lightning.
Summary
Ford’s F-150 production is concentrated in the United States at the Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant for gasoline variants, with the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn dedicated to the F-150 Lightning. This arrangement reflects Ford’s ongoing balance between traditional internal-combustion pickups and its growing electric lineup, all within a focused domestic manufacturing footprint.
