May was apparently a tough month for Ford’s big SUVs. With consumer demand understandably cold for the gargantuan utes and their hard-to-swallow 12 mpg city ratings, Lincoln Navigator sales slid 37 percent while Ford Expedition sales were down 43 percent. As a aftermath, Ford Motor Company has announced that its Wayne, Michigan, plant that assembles these vehicles will shut down for nine weeks starting on Monday. While the plant sits idle, Ford will increase production of its passenger cars to

better meet market demand for smaller and much more fuel efficient vehicles. Like we didn’t see that coming…
