Kentucky Truck Assembly

Kentucky Truck Assembly is an automobile manufacturing plant owned by Ford Motor Company in Louisville, Kentucky. The 4,626,490 square-foot plant on 500 acres opened in 1969 and currently employs 5,154 people total. The plant houses approximately 24 miles of conveyor belts. Vehicle output average is 75 vehicles per hour. This plant is not to be confused with the Louisville Assembly Plant.

The F-250 to F-550 Ford Super Duty line of trucks is currently built here. At one time, medium and heavy trucks (semis) and over the road haulers were built here, including the Ford L-Series trucks, which were named for Louisville.

It was recently announced that the Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant would begin manufacturing the Ford Expedition and the Lincoln Navigator alongside the F250, 350, 450 and 550. This additional production should begin in January or February of 2009.
