Update on F-150 production lines?

[Mtnman1]

Did the google thing looking for an update on the KC and Detroit F-150 plants, but did not find any updates.

Does this mean they are still suspended? Any word when they will resume production?

Also curious. My truck has been “in production” for almost a month now…

Not sure how accurate this is but here you go. According to the Ford Authority website, for the week of Feb 14th the Dearborn plant is running at limited capacity and anticipated to start up on Feb 21st. Kansas City F150 is at full capacity.

Fingers crossed they get the Dearborn plant up and running this week. Hope this helps.

Just as in all industries right now, I'm sure the sourcing folks are pulling their hair out, loosing sleep and popping plenty of Prilosec..

Yeah, its hit my place of employment as well. Our source of chips dried up.
Overnight.

Our lead time went from 12 days to 198 days on a bunch of our controllers. Not good. That facility in Ohio cant get built fast enough.

Thanks for the info! I ordered a powerboost Lariat about a month ago and going to guess I might have it in another 5 months

What is the app or website everyone is referencing where they are able to see the status of their truck? Ordered in early January and the only thing I know of that I have received is an email confirming my order.

How many trucks does the KC plant finish each day on average?

Since Ford did not schedule last 2 weeks, i assume they were catching up at KC.

Sorry Tod, I have no idea about the production numbers. I just happened upon the website above that had listed the production status of the plants. Since product is based on part supply I am sure the numbers are going to be all over the map these days. Lastly, not sure how impactful the switch from job 1 to job 2 for the F150 is having an effect on the plants productions.

For the Canadians on here, this site does not work for me any longer. It refers me to this site when I enter my VIN: https://shop.ford.ca/vehicleordertracking

But it shows up as a broken link

I can't speak to the Dearborn plant but Kansas City hasn't been running at full capacity. I have a friend who works there. Two weeks ago night and weekends running, this past week no shifts running and last Thursday the word was no expectation for any this week. Can't say for absolute sure about this week as I haven't heard anything since last Thursday.

I toured the Rouge plant last week and they were shutdown and said they weren’t sure when they’ll be resumed I was told they had two issues one was parts availability and labor shortages
