Melmore Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 So my 2023 still isn't scheduled. I have a Chevy and a GMC on order because Ford can't make trucks. Also been watching news and looks like a strike is on the way. Automakers want concessions and uaw wants 40% increase. Looks like nothing may be built for a period of time starting Sept 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope so, hopefully they come to an agreement to sometime soon. If they go on strike and are on strike till December lets say and build my truck then I am not going to buy a 2023 right when we are about to enter 2024.

Credit to the UAW official X account Nope. They (and every other local) voted to authorize a strike. UAW international cannot call a strike unless the general membership votes to allow it. It’s a formality but it’s also required under the UAW constitution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melmore Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 I'll try to look at bright side. All 3 trucks I have ordered, 2023 Ford which is a pipe dream, 2024 Chevy and 2024 GMC, are locked in price wise. My 2021 Ford platinum should go up even further in value.
