New 25 % tariff on mavericks on 02/25 [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; INFRACTIONS GIVEN]

[llinthicum1]

If I had to guess, I assume it'll be 10% increase across board. so lets say 30k into 33k overnight.

Assuming Ford passes that tax on to the consumer. Ford could absorb the tax or a portion of the tax which is more likely. Ford realizes the price sensitivity of a product like the Maverick.

Depends on how big of a check they are willing to hand him under the table. Oops, I said the quiet part out loud

$50k for a $20k truck?! Insanity!!!!

Are you sick of all the winning?

Happy to pay more for made in America. Hopefully Ford moves Maverick manufacturing to USA.

 

[FreedomPenguin]

we can move them to us after I get mine and my 10 year warranty ok lol jk

for real, I don’t want to pay more, got other bills rising at same time. Property tax etc, nothing is giving in

That would but it in F150 territory. Maybe $45k max if MIUSA

 

[TOMCATFIGHTER]

I'd rather buy American made. Even if it means I pay more. And I did vote for DJT and America. 4 years of greatness coming.

I dont care about politics, tbh. my life doesn't change either way whoever in charge. I work for my money and I buy my products, this is only directly affecting me because I placed an order lol so yeah. if it does happen and im price protected, thats cool/good. sucks for people who dont pay in time.

but this is the world we are going into. we are being encouraged to invest, and not hold money, thats for sure. people who hold money are losing out bad. inflation is brutal.

myself included, I lost out gambling on investments, so I have been paying off my house. if I paid all the money towards house into stocks, id be up 10x more. but whatever.

oh yeah, im just 1.5 months of payments from paying my house off!!! 8 years into my 30 year loan.

Paid mine off in right at 9 years into my 30yr loan. It's financial freedom now.

I've done the same thing for my last 3 vehicles Ive bought off the lot and my Factory Five Cobra I built. Not having kids is also a blessing

 

[TNcoupe]

it is one of the best factories Ford operates.

Ive never had one single problem with the 4 Focuses Ive bought that were assembled at the Hermisillo plant. My 2022 Bronco had engine out operation at 34k miles, my 2015 Mustang GT had paint falling off at 15k miles etc.

Ford doesn't have any leftover money. Gave it all to the "Big Guy". Besides GM, Stellantis, all of them are in the same boat. Lets all just wait to see what happens. Trump is like a great poker player. And he is playing a pretty good hand right now, or he is a rolling on a hell of a bluff! I have a feeling some things may change before all this goes into effect. It is fun to read all this though, getting some good laughs!
