DENVER Ford Motor Company may have found a way to get dealerships fully stocked on F-150s again and into drivers hands.
Tim Jackson, CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association, says Ford has been in touch with dealerships around the country on a new approach to handling the chip shortage.
The automaker is considering shipping incomplete F-150s to dealership lots and having staff there install the missing components when they become available. Anything that ll get the vehicles to us and to our customers ultimately more quickly excites us, Kevin Shaughnessy, vice president of operations for Phil Long Dealerships, said Tuesday.
