After a bit of a rocky start due to a supplier parts issue and routine quality checks, production of the refreshed 2024 Ford F-150 steadily increased, at least initially, over the ensuing couple of months. In fact, after ramping up in March prior to the start of deliveries a month later, Ford F-150 production decreased in April, though it bounced right back in May, mitigating that drop. However, Ford F-150 production couldn’t quite sustain that pace in June.
According to FoMoCo’s June sales report, Ford F-150 production at the Dearborn Truck plant in Michigan totaled 24,794 units last month, which is 3,740 units or 13 percent fewer than May’s total of 28,534. Meanwhile, at the Kansas City Assembly plant, Ford F-150 production closed out June at 26,409 units, which is actually a month-over-month increase of 834 units, or around 3.3 percent more than June. This means that total Ford F-150 production in June came in at 51,203 units, which is 2,906 units or around 5.4 percent less than May.
This result continues a bit of a roller coaster ride for Ford F-150 production through the first half of 2024, too. In Dearborn, F-150 production increased big time in February before staying largely flat in March, decreasing in April, then growing in May prior to this latest drop. In Kansas City, that has largely been the same story, though output did increase in June versus May, at least.
As Ford Authority previously reported, the refreshed 2024 Ford F-150 has gained a number of updates for the new year, aside from the typical front and rear styling revisions. Those include a revamped trim level lineup with the addition of the new Platinum Plus model, the newly available Pro Access Tailgate, a standard 12-inch infotainment screen, and the turbocharged 2.7L V6 EcoBoost has become the new standard powerplant, to boot.
