Ford’s production figures for the month of August varied greatly by model, which isn’t exactly unusual by any means, given the supply constrained world the automaker is currently operating in. Thus far, production of the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger remains severely constrained – and is now paused due to the UAW strike at the Michigan Assembly plant – while Ford Transit production also dropped significantly. On the flip side, production of the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang, the refreshed 2023 Ford Escape, the 2023 Ford Explorer, and the Ford Expedition all picked up big time last month, which was also the case with the redesigned Ford Super Duty, according to the automaker’s latest sales report.
Ford Super Duty production at the Kentucky Truck plant finished the month of August at 33,592 units, which is 12,713 units or 61 percent more than the 20,879 trucks it built in July – marking its best month of production on the year thus far – bringing its year-to-date total up to 189,174 units.
Meanwhile, at the Ohio Assembly plant, Ford built an additional 3,048 Super Duty trucks, which is 883 or 41 percent more than July, bringing its year-to-date total up to 16,505 units. Overall, these figures come out to a total of 36,640 units, which was 59 percent more than the month prior.
This is good news for Ford Super Duty customers, as the new-for-2023 pickup got off to a bit of a rough start when lines were shut down for periods as long as three days earlier this year, which allowed 300 quality inspectors, suppliers, and engineers to fix faulty parts that workers discovered while assembling the refreshed pickup using cameras stationed all over the plant. Once those problems were addressed, production resumed, and the new Super Duty began shipping to customers in late May.

Maybe Ford is painfully realizing they can’t force us into EVs. Most automotive news articles are talking about what a failure EVs are and how demand is falling far short of their expectations. Our family joined the Nationwide grassroots boycott against EVs. #BudLightEVs
What does your hatred of gay/trans people have to do with this article?
You have jealous trolls that work for lackluster automakers..studying this forum wkly.
It’s the GOVERNMENT wise guy.. NOT Ford or any other automaker. When they raise gas prices to hit 8-10g what ya gonna do then ? Your President is positioning things so gas prices rise substantially.
My local dealer actually has a handful of Super Dutys, that aren’t base model chassis cabs, sitting on the lot for the first time in roughly two years. F-150 inventory is practically bursting at the seams. Now, if interest rates would just settle down, but that doesn’t look likely anytime soon.
a hand full means xlt’s and Xl’s , maybe a Lariat
YEAAAA ! 😀
OK. They will sell. This Presidential administration is doin a bang up job to bolster our economy 👍🏻
Where’s the best place to get an F550 newest models , with the easiest finance .. my credit score isn’t great
We aren’t a dealership site. There are salesman (of other brands) lurking on here though. Go to a dealership an inquire..or email one.
I wish Toyota would realize the market. If they were to make the dually with the 8.0L diesel that was proposed, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge would need to lower prices to compete and I would not be ripped off by one of the Big Three ever again.
The employees at Kentucky Truck plant in Louisville Ky for the most part believe Ford Motor Co. increased production due to the impending threat of a strike and possible work stoppage.
I work in Super Duty Trim department at KTP, the lines are running at record speeds. I install the RCM Module. I can barely get a second to get a drink. They are definitely abusing us as the fund raiser to keep cash flow coming in during strike for sure. Also don’t believe the hype about them installing A/C inside KTP. Only very small sections (Usually anywhere near a supervisor station) will get it.
