FORD TRIMS OUTPUT

[LowCountryDenali]

I read this morning that Ford will trim output of the F-150 by approx 100,000 units this fall as they retool plants to manufacture the redesigned F-150. Think we have a truck shortage now?  It’ll be interesting to see how this affects supply and demand. And prices?

I think Ford (rightly) realizes, also, that demand is not going to continue to be strong as we see the long tail of this economic shock settle in for most US consumers. 

 

As Ray Arnold aka Samuel L. Jackson says... "Hold onto your butts."

Same article said Ford is ramping up production and building inventory of the current model year to meet demand during the time that plants are down.
