Chip shortage concerns

[futuretrunks]

Will Ford still build your truck without having its chip set aside? What’s the latest on the chip shortage situation?

No real data but can say this, builds have been rolling faster in the last month then they were in the summer. I have also noticed the dealerships in town seem to be increasing inventory. Our local ford dealer had about 3 trucks max most of the year on Saturday they were up to 8 and another had about 10 so that's a sign in the right direction. Both still had ADM's from $2-4K on most of their trucks

We have enough supply right now that we just ran a Super Sunday. I think everything lately is shipping.

Overtime shift. The way the crew pattern falls, there is no production on Saturday night and Sunday morning. We ran this past Sunday morning.

All the lots holding f-150's I've seen are just about empty especially that yard off 96 east and Southfield freeway in Detroit

Oh okay. Thanks! I wonder though. Supposedly my Lariat was built May 2 which was a Sunday. Does that mean it was a Super Sunday as well? Are all Sundays that they build trucks Super Sundays or only when under certain parameters?

Question : is production ramping up with all chips back in the truck? Or are they ramping up because they are cutting down on truck features based on the chips they can no longer get?
