Ford raises prices on Mexican-made cars-but not the full tariff cost
Briefly

Ford is extending employee pricing to customers until at least July 4 while grappling with financial losses. In its Q1 2025 report, Ford revealed a net income of $471 million, reflecting a $900 million drop from Q1 2024, primarily attributed to the estimated $1.5 billion cost from Trump's tariffs. Additionally, a 25 percent tariff on imported car parts has commenced, compounding existing price hikes affecting consumers, especially those interested in hybrid models like the Maverick. Overall, the automotive market is facing considerable challenges as vehicle pricing continues to escalate.
Ford's ongoing employee pricing will help cushion the blow of rising vehicle costs and tariffs, but challenges remain, particularly for hybrid models.
As Ford reports a decrease in net income, the looming tariff implications could escalate vehicle prices further in an increasingly challenging market.
