The growth of American lifestyles, roads
and -- let's be honest
-- waistlines has
encouraged the development
of larger vehicles.
Along with gasoline that
has been cheaper
during the last few months
than during any
time in U.S. history, the
public is becoming
a Sierra club nightmare.
A few months ago Ford announced
that the
F150 SuperCrew would be
built with four full
doors and a short bed --
the first time that
a light-duty full-size
pickup had this configuration.
This comes along with four-door
versions
of the compact Nissan Frontier
and tweener
Dodge Dakota plus the Explorer
with a vestigial
pickup bed. These are an
advance to the three
and four door compact and
full-size SuperCab
pickups whose rear-hinged
rear doors are
a help, but not the comfort
and convenience
benefit of the true four-door
varieties.
DaimlerChrysler has just
announced almost
half a billion to be invested
in their St.
Louis Ram Truck plant expansion.
They had
mentioned a crew-cab version
when the truck
was introduced in 1993,
and this is a hint
that the time may be now.
Most compact trucks
produced overseas have
four-door crew-cab
versions, so these are
bound not to be the
last.
David Thursfield, vice president Ford Vehicle
Operations, and Missouri
Governor Mel Carnahan
made the announcement that
the  Ford Motor Company's Kansas City Assembly
Plant has been selected
as the manufacturing
site for the new Lincoln
Blackwood luxury
sport utility vehicle.
"Kansas City is the
logical place to
build the new Lincoln Blackwood,
because
of recent retooling for
four-door pickup
(F150 SuperCrew) production,
its outstanding
workforce, and its dedication
to quality,"
said Thursfield. "Adding
another vehicle
to Kansas City demonstrates
Ford manufacturing
flexibility -- the ability
to build several
vehicles on one assembly
line.
This was a foregone conclusion,
since Claycomo
is the only plant capable
of building the
SuperCrew configuration,
and the low volume
would preclude building
the Blackwood at
one of the other three
Ford F150 plants.
