It's not bitching to call out a company when they do something wrong or questionable. There's a lot of people who were planning to buy it this year with their X-plan however, and I don't like that Ford is doing this to them. Now buzz off troll.

I was thinking about this... The big difference among the different versions being the special LED headlights. I'm excited to see what the aftermarket delivers.

I'm sure more Sundays will be added at some point too. You guys will be on OT for a long time with the great Bronco now added to your plant. With Ranger and Bronco production you guys should be over 300,000 units a year correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the need for a third shift may be necessary as I believe Bronco will be a consistent seller. You guy also have an all new Ranger coming so I think 3 shifts in at least body and paint may be required. 10 saturdays in a row and many more to come you guys are gonna be overworked.

According to my (now former) launch lead, Body shop has always required one shift more than Final/Paint and when they were on 3 shifts they struggled to keep up. Selfishly I hope we stay on 2 shifts. Kids are going to have a light Christmas this year, I would like to make it much better next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with our volumes down were still doing anywhere between 8-10 hours on any given day as per daily production requirements. In body we almost always stay longer than the other departments. Two shifts mean bigger bucks for you so I understand what you’re saying. Christmas I’m sure will be way better next year as you guys will be working your collective asses off building them broncos lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to make one wonder why the Body Shop isn't upgraded further to handle the anticipated volume better with the expected demand for Bronco and the next generation Ranger.

BWAHAHAHAHA....troll...man oh man, that's POTW there...how old are you, seriously?..Im not the one getting their Knickers in a twist over a car they aren't purchasing till after the first year...that's 18 months away.....plenty of time for change...and X plan will probably be in place by then. And if you look at the pricing matrix I shared there really insignificant savings, they range between a few hundred to just over $2k for the range topper...in the big picture, on a car that's literally sold out before actual production, that's really not that much, compared with the savings avail on say an F150. I think anyone that cries foul and has a reservation, that doesn't buy a vehicle because they cant save an average of most likely $800 is cutting off their nose to spite their face...that equates to maybe, maybe $18 a month. But HAH...I showed Ford didn't I....ahem. Trolling..absolutely not...just you and I are wired completely different ways ...

Dirty Bronco Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 @fuzzymoomoo with COVID spiking across America, has Ford laid out guidelines for potential shut downs? Like if the state reaches a certain number of new cases for X amount of days in a row that things are to be closed till numbers die back down?

It's the same as it has been since we went back to work in June, and honestly I have no idea what the guidelines are. Im not going to speak on any kind of official capacity but my personal opinion is case count isn't the metric that matters, it's hospitalization and death rate, neither of which are spiking, at least here locally.

Slowing the spread was never about stopping covid, but to make sure we don't overwhelm hospitals. Case numbers at this time are more of a political hammer than an alarm bell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next six months has to be about reducing or preventing those who are hospitalized progressing to life threatening status, everything must be done to treat these folks as early as possible and stabilise their condition.

Which makes me smile, even in my own country the federal govt tries to take credit for all the work done by the state governments fighting and winning the coronavirus battle, I think we're down to about 70 active cases nationwide with no new cases lately in the worst state ( Victoria). We had an election yesterday in my home state, the government was returned with increased majority and the premier (Govenor) praised for her tough stance on keeping our borders closed with the other states. Truly amazing result when the rest of the world seems to be inundated with another wave. Edited October 31, 2020 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The countries that are dealing with second waves now all had pretty strict lockdowns, which strongly suggests keeping people indoors was the exact opposite thing to do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, everyone should just go about their normal life, no exceptions, no masks. Lockdowns mean nothing unless the majority of the population does the right thing when restrictions are lifted and follows the guidelines (wear masks, physical distance, etc).
