Congrats on making the 500th page happen!

Forget where I was reading it, but the logistics of building a F250/350 is unreal, Ford does not stock all the parts in huge warehouses but instead they order them and then do a dance so the pieces parts come in from all the vendors in time to build the vehicle

From a logistic perspective custom orders are a nightmare

It costs a lot of money to warehouse parts. JIT inventory is a logistical miracle.

We will need to come up with something catchy.... GT500? GT = Grand Tremor?

It is called JIT.... All of the automotive industry has been doing it for about at least 30 years now.

It's funny because Henry Ford started this... the auto industry slowly walked away until Toyota brought it back to life and perfected it. Then, as you said, about 30 yrs ago the rest of the industry re-adopted the "Toyota Production Process" as a best practice.

I didn't say it was going to be pretty!

No, when I look on the website (it) won’t show mine! Sorry, didn’t notice the misspelling.

That's what I thought you meant. WS are posted online anyway...our names are not on them. No big deal.

I didn't realize it until just now, but it kind of reminds me of the new Tundra TRD Pro:

Sorry @BlueKilla but I speak the truth...

Beat me by a second... I must be getting slow in my old age!

So the Japanese perfected Henry Fords system & now all the vehicle manufacturers are doing it

While this is new to me, it totally makes sense from a fiscal perspective, till covid hit and all the nightmares that came with that, but at least we have toilet paper

Wonder how the other vehicle manufacturers are doing dealing with the parts issues, went past a dodge and gmc lot yesterday and they seemed empty, but the Honda and Nissan were full of vehicles

Gosh that Silverado looks awful. Each time I see one I think it looks like the mid 60's era Chevrolet Truck with the large forehead.

That family truckster LTD wagon probably has the same lumen output as my stock F250 halogen headlights

That's because nobody is buying Hondas and Nissans I wonder what their average days on lot is compared to Big 3, Toyota, and Kia/Hyundai

Those of you with the winch, are you seeing the winch arrive ahead of the truck, with the truck, or after the truck?

My winch showed up about a week after the truck.
