Tacomas are built in Mexico, which we have a free trade agreement with, so no -- they don't have to pay that tax.
So basically they are forcing everyone to buy more stuff not exactly a price increase.
I believe there is an exception for NAFTA countries hence the Maverick can be made in Mexico and still be so cheap. The taco is made in Mexico as well so no real cost advantage for Ford where it competes with Toyota. But people do love paying the Toyota tax.
That's why most vehicles are assembled in the US, but the components are imported from overseas. The components face smaller tariffs than entirely built vehicles.
yea in short.
i dont think so.
3k more at the base model, 34k starting I believe
Very disappointing. Doesn't Ford know who its target audience is? Hint: It's not the Brokeback Mountain genre. Now I'm not sure if my next vehicle will be from Ford.I'm a bit concerned with Ford marking the Raptor as "very gay"... and yes, I quadruple checked, this is not a hoax and is actually a legit marketing program.
And the Youtube Commenting section...
I can imagine the Ford marketing dude cracking open a cold Bud Light, lost in thought testing his gag reflex on the bottle, and just thinking to himself... "you know, is the new Raptor's image gay enough?"

Maybe they consulted these members who suggested rainbow unicorns
as a thing for Mavericks (like ducks are for jeeps). . I voted bulls/cows 
, a tribute to the old stylized text.Obviously not. Refer to Target, AB (Bud Light) for details.
I believe It comes with more standard equipment . So not just a straight rip off price hike.
