Ford has reportedly resigned to the fact that it will be paying tariffs on imported automobiles and major components following the implementation of those levies by U.S. President Donald Trump, though it’s also working to convince that administration not to impose tariffs on lower-cost parts made in other countries. In the meantime, many expected Ford and other automakers to increase prices to compensate for these new tariffs, but that isn’t seemingly going to happen, at least right now. In fact, Ford just announced that it’s offering employee pricing for all of its U.S.-based customers.
Starting today, consumers in the U.S. are eligible to receive employee pricing on a broad array of 2024 and 2025 model year vehicles, though there are some exclusions. Models that don’t qualify for Ford employee pricing are the Ford Ranger Raptor, Ford Bronco Raptor, and Ford F-150 Raptor, as well as “specialty” Ford Mustang and Ford Bronco models, the redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition and 2025 Lincoln Navigator, and the Ford Super Duty lineup.
On top of offering employee pricing for everyone, Ford also recently renewed its Power Promise through the end of June, making this a particularly good time to buy for those in the market for a new electric vehicle. That program offers retail customers who purchase or lease a Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford F-150 Lightning, or E-Transit a free home charger when they take delivery of those vehicles, plus free standard installation.
As Ford Authority previously reported, Ford CEO Jim Farley told Blue Oval workers that they stand to be impacted “significantly” by tariffs, though the automaker has been working to stockpile impacted parts ahead of their implementation. A recent report claimed that Trump warned Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis not to raise prices in response to these new tariffs on a call that Farley was part of. However, when asked about foreign automakers potentially raising prices, Trump said “no, I couldn’t care less, because if the prices on foreign cars go up, they’re going to buy American cars.”

Carnival Rube: Hey honey, let’s see how good this guy is. Now what do I win?
Navin R. Johnson: Ah, anything… in this general area, right in here. Anything, below the stereo, and on this side of the Bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtray, and the thimbles. Anything in this three inches. Right in here, this area, that includes the Chiclets, but not the erasers.
Then add tariffs onto those prices.
Really, they made too much of it and I’m sure it will cause a slow down but they brought it on themselves. We already have stupid pricing, every time they make a smaller vehicle it cost the same or more than our current units. It’s bogus man. Ford Motor Company should just lower the prices on every model the same amount as the tariff and keep the prices the same (they could if they wanted). Or just raise the prices, the Consumer always pays. Besides give me a break, the Manufacturers mark them up, the dealers mark them up more, the Finance Directors get theirs and all the customers can do is keep paying what ever the price is. Ain’t it grand!
God Bless America! The greatest Nation in the World, we know it, even the Liberals know it, they just have to complain about everything. If they would just leave the man alone and let him get on with making everything they messed up again, everything could get back to normal. But, the Lib’s won’t shut up, they have to keep lying because they believe every lie is true. And Maxine Waters, oh my gosh, what a total loser. Then you have Schumer, he’s so full of it, it’s coming out his pant’s leg. The Democrats are like a Comedy Script, the problem is no one is laughing. And, Al Sharpton, the FBI’s Pimp, Uncle Tom, he and Maxine should take their show on the Road.
Gee, it looks like Ford just threw away one of the employee benefits of working there if everyone gets A plan!
Let’s let the tarrif issues play out , our country will be better served in the long run when Canada, Mexico and the EU embrace the reality that the US rules, for the most part, the global economy
