"A large SUV with “significant” content from Mexico would see a nearly $9,000 increase, while a pickup would see an $8,000 increase, the study found."

"Ford, for example, only builds its popular Maverick small pickup truck, Bronco Sport compact SUV and electric Mustang Mach-e in Mexico. Ford CEO Jim Farley warned in February that a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada “will blow a hole in the US industry that we have never seen.”"
