Ford’s 2nd Quarter Earnings

Exactly this. -
That’s what they did with Mustang and Ranger too. In the Ranger’s case the inner door was changed but the outer is the same.

FTFY

I haven’t heard anything one way or the other but there’s nothing directly stopping BOC (or the SK j/v battery plants) from joining the union as far as I know. I think they have to vote on it. It was a big issue during the 2023 negotiations, and I think Ford ultimately agreed to let them be part of the master agreement if the workforce there votes to join the union.

You guys are reading too much into this. It’s supplemental production because KTP and OHAP are both at capacity and can’t keep up, plus with the added benefit of being a blank slate to add the electrified bits without having to shoehorn it into an existing process. It’s a lot like when FRAP was building Fusions because Hermosillo couldn’t keep up.

Ford hasn’t really cared about NASCAR since the heyday of Roush.

GM has been importing from South Korea for a while now, and I think that’s more of a product of them wanting to keep that plant running and the Korean union happy (it’s the Daewoo plant) vs. it’s the profitable option. There’s zero chance they ever made money on the Aveo (remember that shitbox? Lol) and I can’t imagine the Trex/Trailblazer imports are coming out much more ahead either.

Wont ever happen. Don’t have anywhere to build it that would net them that 10% margin they demand.

Again with the square steering wheel, eh?

'24 June Sales-Chart/Info

Or it’s because Rangers were unavailable for the last 8 months -
That’s a small part on why I didn’t get a truck when my lease expired couldn’t find what I wanted (XLT powerboost Lux max tow package). The only 3 powerboost f-150s the dealer had at the time were already sold and none of them were really what I wanted. Didn’t matter anyway, the sales guy kept trying to upsell the hell out of me and I wasn’t about to double my monthly payment for a bunch of stuff I didn’t want. I’ll keep driving my “commodity” product until either the wheels fall off or the transmission needs a second rebuild
