Ford to close SUV plant for nine weeks – for now

Well, it hopes this closure is only for nine weeks.

With Navigator sales down 37 percent and Expedition sales down 43 percent in May, and gas prices not going down since then, I expect that plant idling is going to last more than nine weeks. And, even when it reopens, it will be with less than full staff.
