March 1st Mexico Tariffs? [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

[arizdare]

my 2025 Lobo build started Feb 24 and wondering if there will be a 25% Tariff since it will be shipped this month (March 2025)?
if so, Ford can shove this vehicle.
Ironically, I will then buy the Santa Cruze XRT(Korean) built in Alabama.
Can these American companies quit penny pinching and just build in the USA? methinks an American Worker would be better suited to make it as well! TY

Complains that a 25% increase in price will make the cost of the truck no longer worth it, but then suggests that Ford quit penny pinching and just build it in the US. Makes sense.

The (corrected as I should never post before coffee) First Amendment does not cover online discussions on sites like this. If the owner of the site doesn't want certain types of conversations, they have a legal right to do just that.

This has zero to do with politics, no matter which party is feeling more oppressed.

if only there were a search function.. so you could find the half dozen other threads on this topic.

is MTC ford? no.
is MTC the government? no.

no one here is going to have any sort of official answer. all you'll get is speculation, conspiracy theories and wild-assed-guesses.

if your vehicle comes in and you don't like the price. don't buy it. simple. no one here cares one way or the other.

ps. the 1st amendment only covers government prohibiting speech, it has nothing to do with private entities. take some time to actually read and learn what the amendments actually say rather than embarrassing yourself. calling MTC names and telling uses to "grow some" only embarrasses yourself further, if you don't like the site, surf elsewhere.

As has been discussed here before, the tariff most likely won't be the full 25%, many factors go into it, like where each part is made, also Ford will likely absorb a bit of it. Also remember FORD is not the root of this issue!

The Second Amendment is often prone to misinterpretation, but I think you nailed it here.

Capitalism. We value the almighty dollar above all. Stock prices have led to outsourcing.

OSHA, unions, healthcare, etc = too costly to produce locally, so we farm it out to nations with lower standards of living, little to no worker protections, etc.
