Anyone else see this?

It looks like they're planning on shutting the plants down several times over the next few weeks. Let's hope that this means they're building more vehicles that have been ordered by consumers when the factories are running.

Just took a quick read. From the article, it appears Dearborn is not impacted by this.

Damn. I somehow missed that. I think I'm still low on caffeine (or reading comprehension). Ha!

I'm still hoping they shift production to fulfill the demand for those who have Raptor orders.

I read this yesterday. Glad Dearborn isn't going to be impacted.

I doubt the raptor will ever receive any incentives or rebates but I wonder if the general demand slowing might help with the annoying dealer markups and dealers might start pricing between invoice and msrp. I guess that only depends on if they get enough allocations from ford to make it worth their while to slash prices and sell higher quantity.

LOL.....I seriously doubting it will affect the Raptor.

I think KC is still producing 2016's.

I can't see this affecting the Raptor. People are still looking for MSRP deals and most dealers have sold their allocation (if they weren't A Holes trying to mark it up). If anything, we can hope this helps those that have ordered to get their Raptor quicker if demand for the F150 goes down.

Doubt it...it may make it worse as they have a truck that people want and are willing to pay for.

My build date coincidently just got backed up by one week exactly.
