US vehicle prices could spike by up to $10K with Trump's new tariffs on Canada, Mexico

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

And what's sad is he isn't going to fix anything for anyone who's poor or middle class. In fact he's going to make things worse. But in the end, maybe he will benefit some American corporations. After all, they are who he works for. Not workers.

Feelings.

What cars come from Canada?

Many vehicles are made in Canada, including the Toyota RAV4, Lexus RX, Honda Civic, and Chrysler 300

How many of you have praised Honda and Toyota? Now we see they aren't even made in America. I hope the price goes up $10K.

Generally, Honda tends to be slightly cheaper than Ford when comparing comparable models. Slightly.

Toyota Tundra has been built in the US since 2006 at the Texas plant. Toyota has 10 plants in the US producing the Camry, Corolla and the Tacoma. They have a total of 34 manufacturing facilities in the US.
Tundra has won Texas truck of the year a few times.

The Toyota Tundra is assembled at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX) plant in San Antonio, Texas. TMMTX is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor North America, which is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.

Features

• The plant is 2.2 million square feet and sits on 2,000 acres
  
  
• • It produces the Tundra full-size pickup truck and the Sequoia full-size sport utility vehicle
  • The plant performs vehicle production, including stamping, body weld, paint, and assembly

History

• • Groundbreaking for the plant was in 2003
  • Production began in 2006
  • In 2024, the plant broke ground on a rear axle plant, with operations scheduled for 2026
  • The plant is planning a $500 million expansion

Commitment to American drivers
The TMMTX plant in San Antonio is an example of Toyota's commitment to American drivers by manufacturing the Tundra on U.S. soil.

Glad I got me a Tundra

There has been a tariff on foreign trucks since 1964 known as the Chicken Tax. Tariffs are nothing new and not the end of the world.

The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks (and originally on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy) imposed in 1964 by the United States under President Lyndon B. Johnson in response to tariffs placed by France and West Germany on importation of U.S. chicken. The period from 1961 to 1964 of tensions and negotiations surrounding the issue was known as the "Chicken War", taking place at the height of Cold War politics.

Ford assembly line workers in the US tend to have a higher base pay per hour compared to Toyota assembly line workers.
And oh forgive me, I didn't know Toyota workers were organized. God bless you and your Tundra
Both Ford and Toyota workers in the US are often represented by unions, which can influence wage negotiations and overall compensation packages.

Fords are garbage. I would never buy anything from them.
Bet mine holds value far longer.

 

[initforme]

This will encourage more jobs in the US, as autos that aren't imported won't be subject to the levy.

True. And those new businesses will be forced to pay much higher wages than they think.

You are anti American. I just drove my F150 to Florida in Feb and back yesterday. It runs like a dream. My brother has a really old F150. Runs like a dream.

Stop bashing Americans and American companies. I thought you wanted to MAGA

 

[sealybobo]

True. And those new businesses will be forced to pay much higher wages than they think.

And won't be able to find workers.

And will actually let workers go when this all causes a recession.

Also, I'm looking forward to the next time a union fucks with Trump's economy.

Trump To Tap Head Of Anti-Union Group To Run Labor Office​

Unions won big in 2024 thanks to Biden. Perhaps just in the nic of time because if they would have went on strike now, they would not have the support of the current president.

So all those healthcare, auto, dock workers, casino workers, writers, UPS, etc. All those union members who got raises last year. Be glad you got that shit done already.

And part of me wants to see Trump fuck them over. Because too many of them voted for him. They need to be re educated.

The Trump administration plans to put the former leader of an anti-union advocacy group in charge of the Labor Department’s office that oversees financial disclosures by unions and “union-busting” consultants

Trump made a point of currying favor with some unions during his most recent presidential run, but his choice of Messenger to run OLMS won’t do organized labor any favors. She has been outspoken about what she sees as union bullying and corruption, particularly in the public sector.

What the hell are talking about?
I bought American.

I wouldn't buy another Chrysler either. Last one sucked and that was a shame as it was a nice looking Jeep, but a rolling mechanical nightmare.

It was built at the San Antonio plant and the engine built in Indiana.

It was a 5.7 Hemi Grand Cherokee that suffered stuck lifters from that cylinder deactivation crap.
Was fun to drive, but every turn of the key I was sweating if that damn check engine light would come on, from damn near new. That light was its most reliable feature.
Climate control issues, electronic bugs, and occasionally the damn alarm would start blaring in the garage for no reason at all and took starting it to shut it up.

Nope, I sure as hell wasn't getting a Ram with that same engine with Chrysler's well known software bugs also, or Fiat, Stellantis whatever the hell they are now.

A hemi in a jeep? Sucker must have had some power! The little 4 banger " go devil" in the Willy's MB I had was anemic, but I still could take that thing anywhere.

It was a fast SUV. Towed the camper nice.
Just couldn't trust it.
The SRT version is the 6.2 Hemi at 711hp factory.
Those suckers were 90 grand at the time
Basically a 4x4 Charger.

'Trump’s trade wars threaten to claim a casualty on the home front: the American auto industry.

If the president goes ahead with 25% taxes on imports from Canada and Mexico on Tuesday, he will disrupt more than $300 billion in annual U.S. automotive trade with its two neighbors, wreck supply chains that have been operating for decades and likely push up the already-forbidding price of new cars.

The tariffs pose an “existential'' threat to North American auto production, said David Gantz, a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. They will push up “the cost of everything that’s imported from Mexico or Canada that goes into a car assembled in the U.S.‘’

Kelley Blue Book says Trump’s tariffs could raise the U.S. price of the average new car – already approaching $49,000 – by $3,000 or more. The price of some full-size pickup trucks could shoot up by $10,000.

The economic pain would intensify if Canada and Mexico counterpunched with tariffs on American exports.'

Economic pain brought to you by those who voted for Trump. the consequence of Trump voters’ ignorance, fear, and stupidity.

Many car dealers will close their doors. Their employees will be out of work.

The shit is already hitting the fan and Trump says "This will be fun"
