The biggest losers of the plant closing was the truck buying public.
There were folks and businesses all over the country who would only order a truck from the Norfolk Plant and pay the extra shipping expense. They manufactured that good of a truck.
I talk a lot of trash about that particular off-brand ( smile ), but the ones built in the past 10-15 years (maybe longer) have been as good as any other brand.
