The Ford Super Duty remains one-half of the best-selling vehicle lineup in the U.S., and like the Ford F-150, it’s also produced at two different facilities – the Kentucky Truck plant and Ohio Assembly plant. Fresh off a redesign for the 2023 model year, the Ford Super Duty also continues to generate massive amounts of profit for The Blue Oval, and as such, it should come as no surprise to learn that production of that model will continue into the foreseeable future. Following Ford’s recent contract agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, we’ve also learned that the Super Duty will continue to be built in Ohio through at least April 2028 as well.
Currently, the Ohio Assembly plant produces the Ford Super Duty F-350, F-450, and F-550, as well as the medium-duty F-650 and F-750, and the Ford E-Series. Production of the E-Series and Super Duty are slated to continue at this facility at least through the duration of the contract, which is also the case with the medium-duty truck lineup, while an all-new EV van will be added to the line as well. As Ford Authority recently reported, this new model could be the second-generation Ford E-Transit, which is currently produced at the Kansas City Assembly plant.
Back in September 2022, Ford announced that it was set to receive $205 million in state incentives for the Ohio plant, which are performance-based and require that the automaker operate the plant for another 33 years while also creating $108 million in new payroll. Now, according to this document, Ford will invest another $2.1 billion in the Ohio Assembly plant, which should keep its assembly lines humming along for the foreseeable future.
