Well Don,
There are two F150 plants. DTP went down last week for approximately 4 weeks. Supposed to be back to work Sept. 22. Will slowly start backup building the 2015's. KCAP will go down for retooling in conjunction with Christmas break for 2-3 weeks. In the mean time we will continue to build 2014's while DTP builds 2015's!! Crazy huh!!
Well that's not what is being reported, I have read that they (2015) won't begin to show up until sometime in February. So the Detroit Truck Plant will be back on line building the new 2015 aluminum trucks September 22?

Well I can tell you for sure there are no 2015's on any dealers lot. We are just now building our pre-production models. These are not for sale. Just gonna be crashed, tested, etc.
Note I said

Wrong there will be NO F-150 2015 trucks built except the new aluminum truck and that will not come out until February 2015 at the earliest. If Ford has two F-150 plants, they should have taken one down this summer and changed it over
I was under the impression that Ford was halting the steel bodied trucks in Sept. but it looks like the Kansas City facility will continue to build them through the end of the year?
I don't understand why the DTP was not taken down in June so they could launch the truck in September? Who is going to buy a old steel bodied truck?
