Ford Motor Company has announced that production at its Dearborn and Kansas truck plants will be halted for 13 weeks. During the downtime, Ford will retool the facilities to begin production of the brand new 2015 F-Series pickup truck, which will feature an aluminum body.
Production at the Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan will be halted for 11 weeks, while the factory near Kansas City will be halted for two weeks, Ford said yesterday according to Automotive News. The downtime is expected to reduce Ford’s pre-tax profit by $800 million this year, analysts told our source.
