Ford Motor Company confirms the F-Series pickup’s production will resume today – Friday, May 18th, and the Super Duty will restart on Monday, May 21st. This comes just over two weeks after a production halt occurred due to a fire at the Eaton Rapids, Michigan Meridian Magnesium Products of America’s plant. America knows we buy trucks fast and they can sell their trucks quick, so for us this means an upswing on instant cash offers for those wanting to upgrade and get the highest truck value they can find anywhere; but we’re ready!
Over the course of the last two weeks, there has been a great deal of discussion about Ford’s supplier issue leading up to production halt at their Kentucky, Dearborn, Ohio, and Kansas City assembly plants of the F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550. Since May 2nd, Ford has faced a magnesium chassis components shortage preventing them from building out their most popular trucks. So if you were looking to sell your truck quick to upgrade, the production’s restart is good news.
Ford wasted no time in early May working with “a global team of experts that included partners and suppliers” moving needed machinery to other locations where the magnesium chassis components stamping could resume. Ford had wanted to use the Meridian plant in Canada, but instead decided a shipment of the massive stamping tools to the UK was the best course of action. The Ford trucks parts production has gotten underway today.
As a result, Ford will have enough supply of the magnesium chassis components to meet supply and demand of the F-150; which is why production at the Dearborn Truck Plant begins today, May 18th, and production of the Super Duty starts back up on Monday, May 21st in their Ohio and Kentucky plants.
