Default St Paul Plant Closing??

http://www.wcco.com/video/?id=82882@wcco.dayport.com

I'd hate to see the Minnesota Made Ranger plant close!! Ford needs to get something done to help with Ranger sales.

They are talking about closing that plant to improve the profitability of the Ranger. Not sure why you expect the status quo and demand change all in one thought.

they're going to be closing a plant thats been around since 1927.
started with the Model T.
If the plant closes, it's a stupid decision. the facility is completely self sufficiant because it makes it's own power using hydro-electricity from the mississippi river.
