Ford to cut production at 4 assembly plants

[Silverthorn]

as per title.

Ford Motor Co. plans to trim F-150 truck production and idle several other assembly plants in North America this month, aiming to whittle down unsold-car inventory amid a slowdown in U.S. light-vehicle sales.

The No. 2 U.S. car maker will suspend production for a week at an assembly plant in Kansas City, Mo., where it builds its full-size F-150 pickup, the company's top seller and biggest moneymaker. Ford will also shut down a crossover factory in Louisville, Ky. for two weeks in October and idle output for a week at two plants in Mexico producing sedans and small cars.

More along the lines of their position relative to Chevrolet in the pickup market.

The Ford Mustang suffered a 32-percent sales decline in September, handing the monthly sales crown to the Chevy Camaro for the first time in about two years. The company also said it is shutting down the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan for a week as it deals with slower sales

Confirmation bias rather than critical thinking?
