    GD suspending production on some units

    As of this morning, I was notified that the Momentum 328G, 353G and 393G will not be built until further notice.

    These join the Imagine XLS 15FLE and the 24MPR that were suspended about 2 weeks ago.

    They are trying to meet production demands by thinning the available models that are "underachievers". May be back, may not.

    I've said it many times before.......it's going to get worse before it gets better.

    Yup. Glad we got our 2400bh when we did

    Was not going to wait till spring

    Mind you I will admit I have thought of advertising it for sale. I think I could make some money especially in my area

    I'm actually considering that myself. It's so busy here this year, I don't know when I will get to use it.

    Steve - is this all related to parts/components/chip/etc. shortages or are there other things like team staffing shortages and/or other current and projected challenges ?

    And, projected all through 2021 and possibly beyond ?

    It is mainly because there is such a high demand for retail sold units right now, they are suspending the production of lower producing models to accommodate the better models.

    I just ordered a retail Momentum for a customer this morning. I am being told it will be July or August until I see it. (No full body paint). Add a month for that...

    I think it's hitting all vehicle types. Super Duty inventory is getting crazy hard to find.
    I put a deposit on a 2021 Honda Trail 125 last August and still don't have it! Major Honda dealer in the area and he has only gotten in one so far and mine will be his second one. Finally got a notice that it will be here end of June, 11 months later!!

    Most of the dealers in middle Tennessee have a supply of the 2021 Honda Trail 125's on the floor. Texas weather could be the reason for the shortage there.

    Really??! That's crazy! You can't find one anywhere in South Texas to even look at, it was the same way with the Monkee a couple of years ago but know they're everywhere. Oh well, I've waited this long lol. Plan to put receiver hitch on front of the truck and carry it there when I get it. Sorry for the hijack OP.

    I agree Super Duty is virtually non existent. I have a 2020 F-250 Lariat RWD 6.7L Supercrew max tow package custom order we ordered in early July and delivered just before this past Thanksgiving. I've already had several offers over sticker for a truck which now has just over 6K on it. One offer was from a dealer. Only catch is I won't turn it loose until I can take delivery on a 2022 that I would have to order how I want it set up. The dealer said he would "give " me a 2012 350 diesel with 200K+ until my order arrives in 10-12 months. He couldn't understand when I laughed in his face and told him to forget it. We bought this truck to upgrade from a 2019 F-150 RWD SC w/5.0L and max tow because the wife was uncomfortable with the blowing around from big rigs blasting by us. Plus I figured to upgrade in a few years and this rig easily meets those needs.

    Just some additional information. Sticker was just under $70k, dealer sold at $61K + tax with X-plan. Paid $29K with my 2019 F-150 in trade. And the F-150 was on the lot for under 36 hours before being sold.

    Time to add more models to that list.....

    Found out today that Imagine 3110BHS, 2610MLS, and 2250RK are done.

    Reflection 310RLS is done.

    Not sure what else until I have a conference call on Monday.
