So Ford is sticking to 50,000 cars?
no info can be said about that right now. Can not say. All I can say is that reservations today were more than all last week combined. Somehow winning an award changed things I guess.

Do you know if they are going to add another shift due to high demand?

Probably not as much as getting demo units to dealers will increase it.

I think that was answered a while back with a no. Primarily, some downtime is needed to repair and maintain the equipment which is building the cars. 3 shifts equals no downtime. 2 shifts plus overtime might get things to where a good output per day happens plus the routine maintenance occurs as scheduled.

To be fair, Stark County area should at least be labeled Football.
I was born in Canton and Aunt lived 1 block from Pro Football Hall of Fame. Moved to Michigan when I was 2. I love telling UofM fans that the Buckeyes are my 2nd favorite team just behind the Spartans!

Yep except here in QC our gov't just put a wrench in our gears. So unless they change something Ford might have a bunch of cancellations here. The Gov't removed the AWD, Ext from their subsidized list which means a loss of 8K$CDN. Many of us who ordered premium 4exs will probably cancel if the Gov't or Ford doesn't help. We'll get more news in the next few days

Sorry to hear. Hope Ford can get them to fix this.

Just need current scheduled units to be made and shipped out first... hoping they get them all done by Feb . If new model year is Feb I wonder what happens to those scheduled already for March. Will they be 2021 of 2022 models.
