Looks like the parts will be flowing again Friday. Ford sent a letter informing KC employees that they are expected back to work on Friday. My guess is a full ramp for Dearborn and the 3rd shift for KC by late next week and SD the following week. So, my prediction is SD refire by the 28th or earlier. Hmm, maybe "refire" is a poor choice of words

My 2018 F-250 has been consistently bumped out but now shows a production scheduled to day of 5-21 with delivery estimated 6-26 this was populated on Monday. Trying not to get my hopes up but the brand new travel trailer sits idle waiting to be used. Truck was ordered 1-28 original production date of 3-23.

 

I can say with near 100% certitude that ain't happening. Don't mean to be a hope crusher but I do know that Ford is going to get the f150 plants back online first because KT is still producing large SUVS while dearborn and KC F150 lines are idle. KC has three shifts (A, B, C). B and C shifts start back up Friday. That leaves A shift and then presumably 3 shifts at Dearborn although I am not sure they have three, assume they do.

So, Ford is likely going to get all those shifts back up and running before getting SD up and running. My guess is that SD will be up and running by the 28th (napkin math) or just a few days earlier. I don't see how it's possible to be up and running and crank out any rigs by the 21st. that would be great, but I just don't see it.

 

My estimated delivery date has been 5/28/18 from day one. Moved from "order processing" to "In Production" on Cotus on 5/3/18. Window sticker generated on 5/4/18 with a 5/4/18 date on the bottom. Still shows "in production" on Cotus with same estimated delivery of 5/28/18...only difference is that the date on the bottom of the window sticker changed from 5/4/18 to 5/11/18. Im just confused now, haha...Just hoping it will be one of the first few off the line once production resumes and will ship quickly...the anticipation is killing me!

 

I also have the hope the retail orders will be pushed to the head of the line, in front of any dealer stock orders. I'm sure the dealers would rather have '19s sitting on their lot anyway.

 

 

Sync will have a British accent.

 

Are you sure that it's not a hot Australian babe? Asking for a friend...

 

Just heard from my dealer that scheduling for the MY19 Super Duty has been pushed (at least) a week. Was supposed to start tomorrow now it will start on 5/24 and I wouldn't be shocked if that is pushed back as well.

 

Ford To Restart Production of F-150, Super Duty After Fire Fortune
Looks like they are starting up the super duty line monday!! ( We Can Hope!!!)

 

Impressive!

 

Im buying into it even if its for tonight only.

 

Interesting that checking cotus I now have powerscope tow mirrors on my order where I had manual yesterday

 

Do note that this is NOT full production rates.

As of this moment, it's one shift per day starting MON @ KTP.

For the F150 folks, the latest info is that C-Crew (only) will be starting back up in about 12 hours (4AM start). At DTP, C-Crew works the AM shift on FRI/SAT and the afternoon shift on SUN/MON.
