Something tells me Ford will sell their Mexican made trucks at the same price as “made in the USA”
Pretty dishonest move by Ford.
Ford customers will be paying First World prices for Third World goods.
The idea that consumers save even a single penny is a complete fallacy.
Ram P/U trucks are made in Mexico.
There are some folks here on FR who are very familiar with how the auto manufacturing business works, and they have an interesting perspective on it. One thing I've read from several folks is that Federal regulations for fuel efficiency and for vehicle safety have gotten so onerous that the cost of producing compact cars in the U.S. makes them too expensive for the buyers who are in the market for compact cars. For example ... someone who can afford to pay $28,000 for a compact car is going to pay $29,000 for a half-decent mid-sized car instead.
Why should the American consumer balk at a truck made in Mexico. They are driving Toyotas, Nissans, Benz, etc. Not dishonest, just good old capitalism.
