- The UAW strike is now hitting pickup trucks.
- Smaller trucks at Chevrolet are already in short supply.
- Work stoppages could send trucks back to pre-pandemic inventory levels.
Pickup trucks are about to get a lot harder to find.
A month into the United Auto Workers union's strike at Ford, GM, and Stellantis, inventory of GM's midsize pickups is down significantly, according to new data from Cars.com.
Add to that the biggest move yet in the strike Wednesday night when UAW unexpectedly shut down Ford's highly profitable F-Series pickup truck factory in Kentucky, and a crunch on full-size pickup inventory seems close behind.
