I would think so being we're running the rest of the big trucks but I guess Ohio gave them a bigger package. Who knows

The F650-750 are bigger than what we can run. We share some of the cab body but thats it.

Yeah. I believe it was considered a "victory" for the UAW in the last contract. Since the Econoline went bye bye, they agreed to keep it open to support what the Mexican plant can't keep up with. I don't see it as a long term endeavor however... unfortunately.

At one time the F650-750 was built in Mexico with Navistar in a joint venture under Blue Diamond. This partnership ended when we cut Navistar out of supplying us diesel engines. So the product had to go somewhere. The new 650-750 will be all Ford, no more Navistar, Cummins or Allison transmissions.
