Ford cuts production of Excursion SUV by 25%

Saturday May 20 by Claudia bourneAuto.com Daily News
Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it will cut production of Excursions by 25 percent because the automaker overestimated demand for the largest sport-utility vehicle, which has been a target of environmental and safety critics. As of August, Ford will cut the annual production rate for the Excursion, made at a Louisville, Ky., plant, to about 52,000 from 69,000. The plant will boost output of F-Series Super Duty pickups 9.4 percent to 409,000 a year, so analysts don't expect the move to hurt profit at the second-largest automaker.
