Yup F-150 was the last truck product there. In the van plant it was the Windstar/Freestar. Now the truck plant is Body 1 Body 2 and Paint shop. Other side is Trim Chassis Body 3 and Final

I agree with you on that one, I really wonder why they did that.

Thanks for the clarification. OAC certainly does this place is 5.4 million square ft and has the room seeing as how like MAP it used to be two separate plants.

Why can’t flat rock build CUVs??? I just want to get the contract over with. I agree with your post, hope it all goes well

I keep hearing all this BS about Ford Oakville because of one reporter. FORD has said nothing. Contract talks start in a couple of weeks I will keep everyone in here from the US plants posted. You guys will probably read about it anyways. We are working steady right now. Between 8 and 10 hours. Parts shortages have reduced production abit. I’m not gonna worry about anything til the contract is laid out on the table.

No I haven’t heard that rumor.

Thanks brother, hope so!! It’s gonna be interesting to say the least!!

Yes we sure do hope, especially up here in Canada with the Unifor auto talks just around the corner!

Those results certainly exceeded expectations. I thought forsure they would post a loss for the second quarter.

We will just have to watch and see how the situation plays out. Initial demand will be high and will probably continue to be steady. The bean counters and brainiacs should run things at ford will figure it out.

I also know that would also be a huge cost to tool another plant in the event that MAP is maxed out on a 3 shift operation and can’t keep up!

Can’t Flat Rock be used going forward??? Put in the tooling there. Are they not under capacity??? It sure as hell won’t be Oakville so why not use the extra capacity in flat rock when Map is maxed out????

There is a rail blockade in Mexico so it’s possible.

I just read on automotive news that there is a rail blockade by indigenous people in Mexico so that may also explain the current situation

I have a question for you guys. Are any of your plants having any production disruptions right now because of the Mexico covid situation??? Up at OAC we’ve been running 10s since shutdown and yesterday we got sent home 8.3 on the b shift because they’re sayin we’re getting low on parts because of Mexico. Word is it may be like this for the next little while. I heard looms are in shorter supply amongst other things.
