Why Store F-150s Ford 2014?

As the release of Ford F-150 is about to be made next year, Ford dealerships demand a full 2014 models supply for their showrooms not to run out of pickups.

Such an anxiety of storing beforehand might be explained by the planned shutdown of a truck plant of Ford in Dearborn, MI, with the purpose of reequipping. The shutdown will happen in June 2014, and the production of newly released cars will decrease by 10 percent even earlier, which will result in shortages of trucks to sale in dealerships.

Dealers also store the current F-150s because of the announced possible delay of 2014 F-150 experiencing problems with new aluminium solution.

Generally, 2014 is expected to yield approximately 77,000 F-150 trucks less than the amount planned to be build by the end of 2013. In order to deal with the shortage, the company will refer to simultaneous production of 2014 and 2015 models engaging two plants. Manufacturing of 2015 F-150 will start in the summer of 2014 in Dearborn, and Kansas City plant, MO, will proceed with the current model until the end of the next year.
