Ford F-150 Production Majorly Rebounded In January 2026
Ford F-150 production at the Dearborn Truck plant totaled 24,416 units in December 2025 - 14,636 or around 150 percent more than November's total of 9,780 units. At the Kansas City Assembly plant, Ford F-150 production actually decreased by 4,357 units or nearly 39 percent month-over-month, from 11,289 units to 6,932, however. Total F-150 output still increased from 30,308 units in November to 31,348 in December, which is a difference of 1,040 units, or 3.4 percent.
In January, Ford F-150 production at the Kansas City plant grew by 203 percent, to 21,033 units in a rather eye-opening rebound of sorts. Things weren't so great at the Dearborn plant, however, as output decreased a bit, by nearly 11 percent, to 21,808 units. Regardless, total Ford F-150 production in January 2026 came in at 42,841 units, which represents a notable increase of almost 37 percent, month-over-month.
Mustang on CD6 probably made a lot more mathematical sense when a Ford and Lincoln (Conti?) sedan were also going to be on it, presumably at Flat Rock.
Sure, it can make sense, but who knows at this point.
I think he just left because he didn't like being called out for not being right. I actually enjoy his info, as it gives points to discuss/talk about, but I also look at it with a skeptical eye because he's often been wrong, even though he's sometimes right. What he couldn't accept is that sometimes he's not right and would have a fit when people would say hey, this isn't accurate info. He thought his info was 100% right all the time, and nothing could be said to question it. When in reality, as jpd points out above, how can we truly speculate about Ford plans when Ford doesn't even know what it's doing half the time lol.
1000% agree. Ford is at the point where it needs to just pick something and go with it because they've cut so much already without replacements.
How much y'all want to bet it's just a rebadged Subaru Trailseeker just like that B4xyzRT-8245 thing and the Solterra.
Slap a Toyota badge and lights on this, and there you go....
Very similar interiors
So how are we to know what Ford’s plans are if they are continually changing them?
While it’s not hard to map out possible products and put your own spin on what’s likely, all of that can go out the window if Ford goes in another direction because they’ll take a bath on costs or some other sourcing or shipping issue.
Economy is getting tougher and it feels like more people will be cautious with new vehicle purchases but then, Theres probably another group above them that’s less affected……it’s a hard read this year, I’m glad we have this place to discuss things and how Ford copes with change.
