Ford says production will increase to meet demand for hot models

Ford has had a string of ultra-desirable vehicle releases over the last few years, from the Mustang Mach-E to the Maverick pickup to the F-150 Lightning. That’s the good news. The bad news, at least for Ford and its buyers, is that The Blue Oval can’t seem to keep pace with demand. That could change with Ford’s recent announcement of production increases, bringing additional shifts and a volume boost for the automaker’s EV models.

Ford said it would bump production numbers at its locations across North America and noted a new shift at its Kansas City Assembly Plant to increase E-Transit output. It’s also looking at ways to increase production at its Dearborn Truck Plant, where it builds the F-150.

Though it recently stopped the production lines at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center due to F-150 Lightning battery issues, Ford recently announced a restart for the factory and said it’s investing $2 billion to boost production of the truck. The move will also bring an additional 3,200 union jobs to the location.
