As if the aluminum plant fire weren't enough, now the industry (including Ford) are staring down the gun barrel of this shortage:   https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/suppliers/an-nexperia-chips-us-production-outlook-1025/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter-ANBreakingNewsAlert-20251025

Slate at 174.6” in length is approximately 10” shorter than second-generation regular cab Ranger like I owned, though Slate is slightly wider and taller.  Length difference for the most part can be accounted for by Slate bed being 5-foot versus Ranger’s 6-foot.   A little research shows that trucks around +/- 175” in length like Slate were built decades ago, though they were smaller in width and height.  At least two were VW Rabbit pickup, and also the first generation Tacoma.  VW was discontinued and Tacoma made larger. 🤔        

Stay tuned, it should be up-loaded shortly.   HRG
