Ford stopping F-150 production?

[MDJAK]

I heard they are using chips that were for f150 to produce the Lightning so that may delay things.

Is that for the 2021 model year, since they are still delivering those, lol.

Um 2021 MY order banks closed Aug/Sept 2021. Lol

Exactly, so why would Ford stop order banks 4 months earlier this year? I'm not buying it, unless they are going to take 2023 orders early, ha ha.

Do you get price protection if rolled from a 22 to 23?

Wouldn't surprise me. They can't let the Lightning flop out of the gate.

My dealer said you wouldn't see Lightning trucks on the lot for 3 years. When they opened the order banks the largest dealer in Texas got a whopping 3 allocations and picked 3 lucky winners from the order list. My dealer got 0.

I believe it, it took me a year and a half to see a Gen 3 Raptor in person where I live.

No such thing as price protection.... it's a myth.
Dealers are pushing for ADM!! Even with orders.

They can close order banks whenever they want... there is no standard time frame.... at least not post COVID era.

We are in uncharted new car waters.

As an example, Jeep officially closed 2022 392 Wrangler order banks last Friday with no warning. Rumor has it that CAFE numbers had something to do with it.
