I was driving from NY to Detroit with the family. I noticed our route would take us near Toledo so I Googled to see if they offered tours at the Jeep plant. Ends up it isn't something they normally do. Then I noticed they do give tours at the F-150 plant (Rouge plant) all the time. It was great. They have a brief movie about the plant, then a crazy video in a 360 degree theater with lazers, robotic arms like the ones on the factor floor, and an almost full size model that comes out of the floor. You then go to an observation deck where you can see the full plant with a guide that points out where everything is. Then you walk around a catwalk and watch the entire assembly process. There is also an F-150 frame with the body off and some other vehicles that they used to build at the plant to look at (from Model A to Mustang). I was thourougly impressed. I wish Jeep did something like this. Now my kid wants a stickin Ford.
