I'm here, just trying to remember the good days before the plant closed. Some of the best days of my life were spent working here! I miss my job, the pay, the plant, but most of all the people I worked with.
I bought an 2004 Ranger from my uncle that has the Twin Cities plant sticker in the back window. I love this truck. Nobody makes a small affordable truck anymore and I will keep mine going as long as I can. I worked in manufacturing for 32 years and took a buyout shortly before my plant announced it was closing so I know what it's like to go through that. Love my Ranger and all the blue collar hero's that clock in every day. God bless you all.
my dad worked at the highland park plant and he took us there many times over the years. i still have a home movie of the place. it's sad to see it go.
This is the company and government video.....need i say more? They honor some of the people who helped decide to close it :( Hey Raoul! workin on the front bumper! Those are some of the hardest workers there are, 50 hour weeks, 10 hours a day. I hope the creator blesses every one of them
after watching this and other videos about this plant, this truck, and Ford motor co,,, anyone can plainly see that these long time, loyal employees are the only ones to get screwed bigtime here, by everyone connected here that's wearing a suit...
i have a 2011 Ext cab 2.3 Automatic in Silver. Mine was built October 18th of 2011. Mine is One of the Last Rangers as production ended December 16th 2011.
I think a hundred or so, out of the 750 went to Louisville kentucky. Some being retrained, some retired, a totally different story for each of the folks without that job now
oh no! That means more folks without a job. I wish there was some way of knowing how all of the people are doing now, if they are okay, found jobs, got retrained :D
Ford Sold us out! Us, Guys who love mini trucks... Ford: Midsize are too big and full size are to much money. Ford you jacked up the Ranger Price to sell more F150's. The outgoing 2011 Ranger only needed a 2.7 EcoBoost and a dash that acomidated an i-pad mini screen size.. Maybe I should build my own 2011 2.7 EcoBoost Ranger just to show Ford and Enthusiest that you can have power, trailer towing, and fuel economy in one tight compact truck.

I’m wondering if Ford is closing any plants in Mexico or other countries or is it just the USA plants???
