Ford suspends the f150

[Cluck Norris]

Apparently due to a fire they have had to suspend production of the f150 due to parts shortage.

My company is a supplier.

I hope you supply one of the parts they are short on...and they order 10,000,000 to try and catch up

Pretty sure this only impacts the F250 Superduty.

Superduty are built in Kentucky

They've got an 80 day supply.

When you VP of supply chain management says "Oops. My bad."

The article said the fire was at something or other “Magnesium Products Company”.

I bet that was spectacular!

At least this thread didnt make it seem like they cut the F150 line like another poster did...

Not too smart to only have one supplier. Maybe that's one of Fords "better ideas"?

 

[NCLivingBrit]

And now prices go nuts for a while....

Melted aluminum is still useful. Chevys plastic/composite beds would just be smelly trash. The good news is, it would match the rest of the truck.
