Spends too much time on here
Just read the news, with 3700 jobs there, thats a high percentage (66%).
edit-cutting the RAM Classic out. Layoffs sometime in October. That will reduce the plant down to 1 shift from 2 for trucks.
It’s curious that they are dropping the most “affordable” truck (avg msrp close to 50K) which goes mostly to fleets. My small city has dozens of white tradesman quad cab 2x’s in their yard…
So what is the entry level buyer of a new truck supposed to do?
Well, my neighbor just traded off his 2016 Bighorn for a 24’ base 4 cyl turbo Silverado. He got it for $10K off msrp of $49, and they gave him $6K for his trade (a 190,000 mile horrible lifter ticking hemi), so he got a new truck for $33K plus tax and fees. Another RAM buyer gone.
Of course the UAW will have negotiated a decent pay package for them and I don’t have any idea of how long it may last yet its another sign of Stellantis being in trouble.
