Ford is stopping F150 production (temporarily)

[Raptorguy1]

Buzz, my build week is 5/28, it was actually moved up from your build week back on 5/3 (before the fire). Spoke with Ford Performance just yesterday and they still have the build week as 5/28, but I'm thinking they haven't gotten around to updating build dates/weeks yet to reflect the impact of the shutdown. Assuming it will be pushed back at this point...

Mine was 5-14 and now 5-28.

Curious is this recent news? I ask as I still don't have any "post-fire" updates, FP said last week that they were still waiting to hear...thx!

My salesman emailed me on the 15th.

Wow, that's great that your Sales person is so pro-active...2 week delay - could have been a lot worse!

Let us know as you hear more and I'll do the same.

Really? My salesman never contacts me unless I contact him first. He's a member on here I may have to out him.

It wouldn't surprise me if it changes again. From what I read, Dearborn worked a 10 hour shift on Friday. I thought they worked round the clock on trucks?

Likely getting back up to speed will take awhile as they're probably still trying to replace the interrupted parts supply and not up to full supply yet. From what it costs Ford to be idle/underutilizing production facilities, I'm sure they're moving as fast as they can...
