I don’t think that this is huge news. The stuff that is STILL going to Mexico are small cars.

So, with gas getting cheap the large cars will be more in demand.

Per Ford's statement, and a TV report I saw, the plan was to move the KY plant's production of their small Lincoln SUV out of the US. (I don't know where it would move, but Mexico would be likely, given the overall story.) Then, Escape production would move to the KY plant. This plan has been dropped.

Of more interest to me is the rest of Ford's statement, which says "We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the new Congress will pursue policies that will improve U.S. competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of this vehicle in the United States.

This brings up a key point that I really hope Trump addresses: We need to not only retain jobs, we need to, as a company like Ford grows, provide an environment where those new jobs are created here in the US. The status quo, or even slow growth, means we lose. And tariffs should be the last resort.
