Ford River Rouge complex
Ford Rouge Factory Tour, Dearborn, Michigan
The best view of a working truck line open to the public: a fully accessible suspended walkway runs above final assembly at the Dearborn Truck Plant, inside Henry Ford's historic Rouge complex. The tour is run by The Henry Ford, so it pairs naturally with a museum day in Dearborn.
Timing matters. The plant builds nothing during breaks, shift changes, holidays or weekends, so Saturday visitors look down on a quiet line, and the tour is closed on Sundays. Check the calendar for maintenance closures before traveling.
