Tariffs Result In 2025 Ford Maverick Getting More Expensive

View Comments

• Make them in the US and there would be no tariffs.

  • There will still be tariffs because not all the parts are manufactured in the U.S.

  • Yes, because the cost of purchasing land, building a manufacturing plant, tooling that plant, hiring and training staff, and paying that staff the wages they would require, can not only happen immediately, but wouldn't also cause costs of this or any manufactured good undergoing such a transfer to increase in price just as much, if not more.

    • Then what is the answer? Continue to have countries dump their product on us and continue to give away our manufacturing base along with the design and engineering that go with it?

  • It takes years to setup new factories

    Other than maybe 1 line here or there even adding to existing factories takes a year or so

    by the time they shifted production Orangeman and his BS will be gone (either due to term, nature, or the courts stepping in)

    • How do you know the next administration would not keep the tariffs and that Ford would lower the price?

  • Probably still cheaper than or about the same as the tariff after you factor in the very much higher labor cost courtesy of Sean Fain and auto workers.

  • Nope the parts are subject to tariffs.

  • Sure, it will take about 5 years to plan and move production like this. About 7 if we include auto parts. So in 2032 most parts would also made in the US - most because some just can’t.

    Once it’s all moved, the Maverick price will have to climb about 55% before inflation, for all of this to make sense economically.

    • The truth is, there are plants in the USA which are only 60% utilized, which means it would be feasible to start manufacturing here rather quickly. Of course 55% climb is absurd and will NOT happen, as the price would now be cost prohibitive. Everyone needs to apply some patience and common sense in this situation. It will resolve.

      • Agreed 👍

• Slowly but surely pricing themselves right out of the segment they were designed to fill

  • This was forced by our geat leader CONald trump. A tariff that most economists say doesn't make any sense and is a disaster.

  • Your supreme leader is driving this one…enjoy!

    • And all for a good cause which most narrow thinkers refuse to see.
      If America doesn't regain its manufacturing capabilities, independent of outside counties, we will be crushed in the coming war with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, when they all come to Our doorstep ! Try to think outside your own cheap pocket.

• So. Much. Winning.

• With Ford raising MSRPs over 40 percent in the last four years this is just another excuse to raise prices. Ford has no vehicle under 30k, remember all Ford prices are with out destination charge. See what the lust for short term profits get you.

  • So the tariff ended and their costs between tariffed parts and the tariff for shipments entering this country are back down?

• Relax, family pricing for all! Plus, it’s so damn ugly you get an additional 10% off!

• Ford is in business to make money. Trying to make it about a tariff is laughable.

  • The price is going up because of the tariffs.

    No one is "trying" to make it about tariffs.

    Its about tariffs.

    • Tariffs wouldn't even be in the conversation, had Ford not outsourced to Mexico to make more profit off the less paid workers.
      Trust me, it IS possible to build less expensive in the USA it just takes less greed by CEOs, and Stock traders.
      America used to be about building great companies that employed great people, and grew with demand. Today, greed rules!

• The Family pricing is only on existing inventory !! Way to Orange Shilter!!

• Even without tariffs and family pricing ruse or pay what we do ruse they are a cheapy little truck and wanting too much money does not increase sales.

• Unacceptable. Don't buy one. But, shifting production to the US would encounter those outrageous UAW wages, so prices would rise the same or more. No win except to kill tariffs.

  • I laugh at your comment.
    People who blame union wages on unions , obviously have never worked ( WORKED) at a place.
    Every company that works with Union workers " Agrees to a contract", just like any Joe with a private business that has clients sign a contract for work done. If you don't like the contract , don't sign... Works both ways!

• FAKE NEWS. If the price increase is in August, how did it go up May 2. If the increase is 25%, I don't even see 10%. As someone previously stated Employee Pricing is in effect on in stock vehicles. This article was probably written by a person who didn't visit a dealership to buy a car.

  • This comment was probably written by a person who didn't read the article.

  • You're brainwashed.

    The sourcing on this is literally Ford. Its their own words, sent to their own dealers.

    You wouldn't know "FAKE NEWS" if it hit you in the face.
