Major Car Companies React to Trump’s Tariffs, Immediately Slash Prices for U.S. Buyers

[Billiejeens]

Two of the world’s biggest automakers just gave President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs a ringing endorsement—by putting their money where their assembly lines are.

On Thursday, Ford and Volvo announced bold moves designed to take full advantage of Trump’s new 25% tariff on foreign-assembled vehicles. The message is clear: if you build it here, you don’t get taxed—and American workers win.

Ford, the iconic American brand that’s been making trucks and muscle cars since before most of us were born, rolled out a patriotic new promotion called “From America, For America.” The deal? Employee pricing for everyone, knocking thousands off the sticker price of eligible new vehicles.

“We’re going to offer customers the same deal that our employees get,” Ford Chief Policy Officer Steve Croley told “Fox & Friends.” “We make the most cars here, we employ the most, we export the most.” In other words, Ford’s betting on America—and rewarding Americans for betting on Ford.

The “experts” told us that tariffs would be passed on the consumers as massive taxes.
Ford just announced employee pricing to all U.S. customers for the next few months. Trump was right again.
Americans are not bearing the brunt of these tariffs.


President Trump is always right.
Always.

I bet Ford wished it had a small affordable PU again instead of the 80K+ behemoths they have now....Hell, even their Ranger is about the same size of the new F150 I bought in '99.

I wonder if this will be on the 6:30 news tonight? Instead it will be about the stock market, the very same stock market that dems used to say only benefitted the rich.

This is what I considered should be the approach. If you are manufacturing in America and the media is telling everyone "prices are going to increase", the first position I would take as CEO is announce expansion of U.S plants and production and aggressively advertise CUTS on my vehicles.

That would be a goldmine for high volume sales and Trump would gladly promote it when media asks questions. "The CEO of GM told me that he has hired 5000 more Americans due to the tariffs and they are slashing their prices by 10% to take advantage of the momentum. Furthermore, since their European competition is paying a tariff now so GMs domestic production is protected in America in the same way European manufacturers in Europe are protected."

We have a 2025 company Pickup - Ford Ranger Sport - It is smaller than the F150 which we have as a personal vehicle.

They also have the new maverick which is a small affordable PU.

Ford makes great trucks - the F150 has almost 300,000 miles on it with zero troubles.

(i suspect that you know most of that)

The Maverick is not really a PU in the traditional sense.

Thinking more like the old Ford Ranger.

My 2010 F-150 is huge when compared to the '99 I had.

They're having a sale on existing inventory. Happens all the time. "Employee pricing". Standard stuff.

Long term, they still need to make a profit.

My goodness, the flock is just fucking clueless.

Ford makes truck parts and assemblies in both Canada and Mexico. Ford doesn't make cars except what the Mustang?

My late brother had one of the small Ford pick-ups and it was a ton of fun to drive. Since then, I've wanted one but could never find one. Saw one in a lot and by the time hubby and I got in to inquire, it was sold.

I think that's what my brother had, and he was stupid and ran it into the ground. It was a cool piece of machinery that could even be repaired in one's own driveway by Bob, the mechanic next door! I loved it!

Trump is restoring our economy and bringing more investment into our country.

Ford is an advertising agency, not a real car company. It has been pulling the wool over its customers' eyes for decades. For example, it often claims to be #1 in retail sales by "selling" extra cars to its rental fleet. Its EVs have substandard range, and it often deletes rear bumpers and spare tires on its trucks to avoid direct comparison with competing models.

Ford makes truck parts and assemblies in both Canada and Mexico. Ford doesn't make cars except what the Mustang?

All of that manufacturing can be brought back to the US in weeks, if not days.

Most don't fit in western garages. A Maverick might fit in most. But the Stain decided to force you into a Civic long ago. Or leave your $80K SUV outside for the vandals & weather.

That's because of asinine CAFE standards.

Those need to go.

Right. The Maverick appears to be a Ford Explorer frame with a back end open pickup bed.
