The effect of Trump’s tariffs on Mexican-made automobiles is soon to take effect on American consumers. .
Ford Motor Company is raising prices for three Ford vehicles manufactured in Mexico.
From Car and Driver: “Ford will raise prices on three Mexico-made cars as a result of the Trump administration’s tariff on vehicles built outside the United States, according to a report from Reuters. A spokesperson from Ford confirmed the news to Car and Driver and said that the increases will affect vehicles built after May 2 but won’t go into effect until after July 4. Following the holiday, Ford is planning to sunset its current ‘From America, For America’ employee pricing program, which opens employee pricing to everyone.”
So you still have time to purchase one of these before the prices go up.
Car and Driver: “Prices on the Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Mustang Mach-E, all three of which Ford builds in Mexico, will see increases. The Ford spokesperson said the price hikes are part of the brand’s ‘usual’ mid-year pricing changes,’ combined with some tariffs we are facing. We have not passed on the full cost of tariffs to our customers.’ As the price changes don’t affect vehicles built before May 2, they shouldn’t have an impact on the price of cars already on dealer lots.”
So get down to your dealer if you want one before the price hike!
Car and Driver: “The extent of the price increases isn’t totally clear yet. According to the Reuters report, an internal dealer memo reflects price increases as much as $2000, though the report doesn’t make it clear which model will see that change. The Ford representative who spoke with Car and Driver referenced smaller changes and pointed to a $600 price hike for the Bronco Sport Heritage as well as a $700 price hike for the Maverick XLT AWD.”
