* Kentucky - Ford adds 2,000 jobs at Truck Plant

(Kentucky Ford Truck Plant & Super Duty, video by Cars - Jan 25, 2014)
 -- One of Louisville's biggest employers is about to add 2,000 more jobs... Ford announced Tuesday they're expanding the Kentucky Truck Plant, which already employs more than 5,000 people... They make all of the F-Series pickups. Ford officials expect more and more people will buy the Super Duty trucks in the next few years... Ford’s president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs said, the two plants employ more than 9,000 people already... He said the ripple effect creates an additional 80,000 jobs... The expansion is needed to build new aluminum bodies for the 2017 F-Series truck models... There’s no word on when Ford will begin hiring for the new positions, but they need the new workers for the 2017 models that will roll off the assembly line next year...

  ** Michigan - GM offers Box-Delete across pickup lineup

-- In response to customer demand, GM will be the first pickup truck maker in the U.S. to offer a box-delete discount to midsize, half-ton and heavy-duty pickup customers... Available through both fleet and retail dealerships, the box-delete option will give customers a chance to exercise even more creativity in building a truck that suits their needs. The box-delete option has been available for GM's 2500 and 3500 models through the GM's fleet and commercial network, but this program will now extend to retail customers and include extended-cab versions of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon as well as half-ton regular-cab models of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra... The new option eliminates the bed box, the rear bumper and spare tire assembly, and includes higher-rate rear leaf springs and a front stabilizer bar. Pricing discounts for the midsize pickups will be $575 off the suggested retail price, but the spare tire can be added back for $335... The Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 regular cabs can be ordered in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, with the former starting at just less than $31,000. A box delete for a 2500 heavy-duty regular cab with two-wheel drive will start at just less than $35,000...
