Two XLT's here both in Dearborn so no not true.My dealer told me today that all Lariats and higher are built in Michigan. Xl and XLTs are KC. My VIN is Michigan and I'm a Lariat build but is there any truth to this statement? Has one location been faster than the other?

Heres what I remember from going over different configs with my dealer:
Dearborn trucks only:
Powerboost, power running boards, max recline seats, Paint colors of smoked quartz and star white. Trim levels: King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, (Tremor, Raptor)?. I know the KR, Plat and Limited are Dearborn builds mostly because of the option sets that they have standard. I have not been able to confirm whether or not Tremors and Raptors are Dearborn only, but I have not seen a VIN yet with a KC Raptor or Tremor.
KC trucks only:
Space White & Guard paint colors. There is a cab/box config that's KC only as well, I just don't remember the spec - it might be 8' box with regular and extended cab trucks.
So if you are buying an XL, XLT, Lariat without specific options, it can be built either place.
My dealer told me that only Lariat or above trims had the 7.2 kw generator option. These forums is where I found out that they are wrong. Honestly Ford's biggest weakness is their dealer network.This is a good reminder to me that most dealers dont know what they are talking about.
