GM sales up 40% year over year and Ford sales down almost 30% year over year. Hyundai sales up over 60 %. So yeah, Ford has been skewered by the chip shortage. And July will be worse and August no better. It doesn't look like Ford has the chips to build much of anything. Someone should be fired over this fiasco.....much worse than botched Explorer launch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the bright side is the Freep article says Ford just got a big shipment of chips and will now clear out a lot of F150s which will be shipped this month. The priority will be those vehicles already built and parked for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should be fired over this fiasco.....much worse than botched Explorer launch. Help is on the way: "Despite having relatively barren supplies on dealer lots and dismal sales in June, Ford Motor Co. revealed on Friday a dramatic plan to pivot. Ford is getting a new supply of semiconductor chips and will now ship thousands of F-Series pickup trucks built and parked in lots in states including Michigan, Kentucky and Missouri, the Free Press has learned. The company did not provide specific numbers of vehicles. "We're working to get chips into F-Series pickups and get them out to dealers. That's our first priority," said Erich Merkle, U.S. sales analyst at Ford. "We'll see our inventories improve. It'll take time but stock will gradually start to improve the second half of the year." https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2021/07/02/ford-sales-f-150-semiconductor-chip-shortage/7836909002/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) For those that like red lol The numbers certainly aren't pretty. Hopefully the reports of Ford getting a big chip shipment will help some, considering they have them built without chips (I don't fully understand that either - don't the chips gointo parts within the dash and what not? Anywho.... Since it's end Q2, there's a quarterly trucks comparison in the bottom right. Silverado LD+HD outsold F-Series by 3,471 for Q2. Ram outsold F-series by 5,997 for Q2. F-series still has a 75,622 unit lead YTD over Silverado, though, and a 48,964 lead over Ram YTD. --- I had my Tacoma numbers wrong in the Q1 report (must have found monthly numbers not quarterly), so that's been updated for YTD totals, and have the correct Q2 numbers - Tacoma has over double Ranger sales.

F-150 sales off by 30% vs. pandemic afflicted sales depression last year Id say that F150 is down much more than that, it’s true that F Series sales are off by 30% but Ford has cut back on F150 production at both plants but kept Super Duty production strong.

Doing that at dealer holding yards is time efficient and could result in stronger July sales numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.I. Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 A chip factory in Japan burns down and Ford can't build trucks in Kansas. Ford makes the most important launch in decades, the Ford Bronco, and its supplier of removable roofs is not capable of producing them and the new model cannot be started. What are we talking about? Is the current model of Ford supplies okay? Is it necessary to review some policies of the supply chain of the corporation? How Ford can be depended on a single supplier for the entire production of a model or the entire line of the brand? Something cause this sales disaster and something must change.

akirby Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 We’re talking about an unprecedented pandemic (in the modern age) and a factory fire happening at the same time. Give it a rest. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacoma might have over double the Ranger sales, but the fact that Ranger is now outselling the combined Colorado/Canyon GM twins that is a reason to celebrate.

Oh for sure - I agree. Tacoma is the F-series of the midsize segment, and Ranger is certainly making inroads. I'm sure the next gen is an "all out" effort to take on the segment after the current stopgap version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and while the 2.3 EB is a good engine, a 2.7 EB V6 in the deal would attract a ton more sales. Bronco shows that you gotta give buyers what they want, do that and watch the profits roll in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
