mrbowler92 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Chicago. What Data has led you to Chicago? What about the New Crossover ( I think MLK or MLT) , Where is that going to be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 What Data has led you to Chicago? What about the New Crossover ( I think MLK or MLT) , Where is that going to be made? Ford announced it was going to be assembled there. Chicago is currently doing upgrades to their plant to handle it. No plant has been announced for the MLT.

FordBuyer Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ford announced it was going to be assembled there. Chicago is currently doing upgrades to their plant to handle it. No plant has been announced for the MLT. Oakville will get the MKT, where the Flex will be built along side the Edge. Oakville will have four products to put it near capacity...Edge, MKX, Flex, and MKT. You have to wonder what Ford is going to do with Chicago if products built there continue to sell so poorly. The Taurus X will be discontinued in a year or so, and Ford may be banking on next Taurus to sell well enough to keep Chicago busy. Chicago needs some other products. But nothing has been announced, and no concepts have shown up that would offer some hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Explorer is supposed to be built in Chicago. If the redesign of the Taurus/Sable is as good as the insiders say it is, Chicago should be ok with the Taurus, Sable, MkS, and Explorer.

I didn't hear that one since Louisville builds the present Explorer. You have to wonder what Louisville will get to replace Explorer. The Kentucky Truck plant builds Super Duty. Maybe a new Ranger for Louisville as Ford needs a small pickup with high gas prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So MTP is not going to get a new vehicle for a while huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 So MTP is not going to get a new vehicle for a while huh? Well, it could. All depends on the credibility of reports of a new Ranger AND the addition of an F-100. Here are a few possible scenarios: 1. Chicago: Taurus, Sable, MKS, Explorer Louisville: Closed MTP: F-150, Expedition, Ranger or F-100 2. Chicago: Taurus, Sable, MKS Louisville: Explorer, Ranger or F-100 MTP: F-150, Expedition 3. Chicago: Taurus, Sable, MKS Louisville: Explorer, Ranger MTP: F-150, Expedition, F-100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago: Taurus, Sable, MKS Louisville: Explorer, Ranger MTP: F-150, Expedition, F-100 Louisville isn't closing: http://www.uaw.com/contracts/07/ford/hrly/ford_hr04.php I would be surprised if MTP got F-150 - I don't think Ford needs any more F-150 production capacity. There are a number of future products that Ford hasn't announced production plans for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
