    Thought some of you who may have trucks ordered might be interested in this.

    It’s crazy. Our dealership has 1 Superduty on the lot and only about 25 F 150’s. Gonna be interesting in the next few months with inventory.

    They are storing them in fields because all of the big parking lots are either full or covid shot sights.

    And what are they going to with all the gas powered trucks and cars when they want everybody to go electric down the road.

    On another line,I wonder why they parked the trucks in a row like that. To get a truck out of line,they’d have to move all the ones in front or behind it.

    I read it as they're half finished, so they're probably lined up for FIFO when they get back on the assembly line.

    I have a 2022 F-250 ordered, but I'm not in a super rush to get it... Hopefully it'll be done late summer/early fall.

    Looks like their might be a lot of leftover 2021 models at the end of the year if chip production doesn't get back to normal

    Maybe you shouldn't park in the city :)

    I would!

    My dealer is giving me $69k for my 2017 F-250 trade in! I only paid low $70's for it, so almost got what I paid for it 4 years ago!

    This is what happens when you rely on foreign manufacturers to supply you with a vital part of anything you're producing. I'm sure Henry would be proud lol.

    New Ford trucks are stored everywhere around here. KY Motor Speedway is full of them. Even here in Shelbyville they have hundreds sitting on some open ;and fenced in.

    Used truck prices are ridiculous. I've been offered 8k more for my ram than I paid for it 2 years ago. The problem is finding what I want to replace it with.

    That said, I'd let them store a few vehicles on my property.. for a fee of course.

    Not sure if anyone watches 60 minutes on Sunday nights, interesting story last weekend on this topic. Found it scary that Intel, one of the US last chip producers is hesitant to jump back into this industry because they’re afraid it would upset relations with their Asian partners they do business with. I know it’s just business and making money, but if the last year hasn’t opened some eyes of the hole we’re digging.....
