Interesting note in the news tonight, the UAW has agreed with FCA to open their plants on May 18th (source:https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/05/...us-uaw-reopen/). This creates a pathway for Ford to open the KTP on May 18th as indicated, but Ford has not officially confirmed a date yet. Also, keep in mind that opening does not mean at full production levels.

So apparently they aren't going to jump right into making the 21's. That's probably a good thing.

Thanks ! I hope it reopens soon !

I'm sure Ford was waiting for the Borg-Warner Plant to start operations again.

I hope you guys are right. However, been in contact with a dealer about ordering a F350 and he is saying Mid-June.

By the way, the dealership is in Louisville, KY.

Here's exactly what he put in the email: "Attached is a build sheet based on below link. I would go ahead and order now and get in line. Looks like production is slated to get back going at the truck plant Mid-June. " This was from a sales manager. The truth?
