Hmmm ... the demand may be weakening a bit ... but the F-150 continues to be very, very popular.
For example ... demand for the F-Series in August of this year was 30% greater than last year - despite the year-over-year increase in fuel prices.
F-Series was the #1 selling vehicle in Canada, car or truck, in July
F-Series was the #1 selling vehicle in Canada, car or truck, in August
F-Series is the #1 selling vehicle in Canada so far this year -- outselling everything including Civic
I do think that demand will continue to soften a bit, especially when Toyota introduces its all new Tundra ... but F-Series IMO will continue to be one of the top selling vehicles in this country for quite some time.
The problem Ford has with the F-150 isn't the demand ... the problem is excess capacity, and that's what they're fixing with the plant closure.
