Ford Begins Producing New F-150 Pickup

Tuesday marked the first day of production of the all-new 2004 F-150 pickup in Norfolk, VA, easily the most important vehicle in the beleaguered 100 year old company's lineup. Ford's F-Series, the top-selling new vehicle in the U.S. for more than twenty years, is responsible for more than half of Ford's profits, according to Wall Street analysts in a Reuters report.
