Ford to Boost F-150, Super Duty Production, Add Up to 1,000 Jobs to Meet Demand
This year, policy changes have dominated both the auto industry and the news cycle. We’ve all seen the headlines and heard our fair share of catchy “made in America” slogans.
While policy may have changed, Ford Motor Company has not. Assembling vehicles in America isn’t a trend for us. It’s the choice our company has made for over 120 years. And while it comes with its own challenges, we have no plans to change this commitment.
This month, we’ve heard about new tariffs on medium and heavy trucks. The good news: 100% of our Super Duty trucks are assembled in America.1 We can’t speak for the competition, but Ford is confident about where we stand.
We assemble almost 400,000 Super Duty trucks a year in Kentucky and Ohio. These plants are fed, in turn, by facilities in Michigan and Ohio. About 20,000 UAW workers are employed by these facilities, creating a ripple effect across our country. We’re proud of the work our employees do to deliver trucks our customers want and need.
These are the trucks that help the highways get paved, hospitals built, and power lines restored. These trucks run the Essential Economy, industries like construction, manufacturing, energy, logistics, and skilled trades, which employs 95 million workers across 3 million businesses.
Assembling Super Duty trucks in America is a vote of confidence in our workforce and a boost in our economy. It is a promise to the men and women who rely on our trucks to keep America running.
It represents a broader promise to America. It’s one we intend to keep.
