AutoExec Summary
Ford has decided to prioritize the production of F-Series Super Duty pick-ups over a planned battery-electric seven-seat SUV, postponing the SUV launch to 2027 due to slow electric vehicle sales. The move will increase Super Duty production by up to 100,000 vehicles annually at the Oakville plant in Ontario, Canada. Ford’s best-selling F-Series vehicles are in high demand, with plans for potential hybrid and battery-electric versions of the Super Duty range. Ford President Jim Farley expressed excitement about introducing electric utility vehicles, leveraging the brand’s experience. The company is also expanding its workforce and production capabilities to support the increased Super Duty production.
