🚗 Ford's Price Adjustments in Response to New Tariffs

📈 Price Increases on Select Models

• Price hikes of up to $2,000 are being applied to the Mustang Mach-E, Maverick, and Bronco Sport.

• The revised pricing applies to vehicles built after May 2, 2025, and will appear at dealerships by late June.

• These changes follow the implementation of new 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts.

🧾 Ford’s Response Strategy

• To soften the impact, Ford is offering employee pricing to all buyers through July 4, 2025.

• The company projects a $2.5 billion hit in 2025 but aims to recover around $1 billion.

• With 79% of its vehicles built in the U.S., Ford is better positioned than many rivals to manage the tariff effects.

🏭 Industry-Wide Adjustments

• Other automakers are also adjusting: some increasing fees, others relocating production or reducing output.

• Temporary factory shutdowns and layoffs are being reported across the industry.

• Automakers are taking strategic measures like shifting production to North American facilities.

🛍️ Impact on Consumers

Ford announces the impact of Tariffs on car pricing.

It’s estimated that an additional $480 will be passed on to the price of each car.

The average new Ford is ~ $40,000

That means just 1.2% of the 25% tariff is being passed on to Consumers.

• Tariffs may cause vehicle prices to rise by $4,500 to $10,000 depending on the model.

• The used car market has seen values increase, with year-over-year gains approaching 5%.

• Car insurance premiums are also climbing, projected to go up by 8% in 2025, due in part to pricier vehicle parts.
