Ford Authority: New Ford Bronco SUV Possibly Killed Off By Trump Tariff.
Political FUD aside, this is an entirely new and different model we're talking about that probably was never going to see the light of day in the US anyway. I doubt Ford would redesign the BS and shift manufacturing even further offshore. Also, "world" cars are rarely successful globally without major concessions made for each market.
And what exactly is a "subcompact Bronco SUV"? And a hybrid, no less. Not the Bronco or Bronco Sport. But it's supposed to share the C2 platform with the BS? I'm calling, well, BS.
There's lots of seemingly common models that never see the NA markets (I'm looking at you, Australia). Nothing new. Tariffs are just a strawman here.
Ford "Authority", my ass. They just regurgitated a low-confidence piece with zero attribution and added their own assumptions and spin.

Thread title could also say "Ford to build new Bronco SUV entirely in USA, but at a higher cost"......but someone is always looking to blame the orange man.
The “chaotic” imposition of tariffs will certainly have an effect in manufacturers and trading partners. These production plans are made years in advance, even if Trump was gone tomorrow if who ever followed removed all tariffs the damage has been done.

Ford needs to build vehicles in the U. S. and go dark factory if necessary. 中国制造
economy is in the dumpster, spending endlessly on an unnecessary-no- congress-approval war, gas in LA is $6.50/gal, inflation is up to 3.30%....worst president of my 42 years on earth
I'm buying a used Honda Ruckus (100 mpg) and parking the Bronco for now

You missed the Carter years. Google "Misery Index" for '79-'80, it's a hoot.economy is in the dumpster, spending endlessly on an unnecessary-no- congress-approval war, gas in LA is $6.50/gal, inflation is up to 3.30%....worst president of my 42 years on earth

I remember the "A & B Gas Days" (odd/even gas rationing) to buy fuel in California with multiple-hour waits in lines around the block for fillups in 1979. Then when we left California for Texas in 2022, diesel was over $7 a gallon and I had to fill up my 97 F250 with 38 gallons to start the trip (pulling a 31' fifthwheel). Cheers!
Then they'd run out when you were next in line.
And inflation was 13.5%, unemployment at 7%. Ah, yes, the golden years, when I was a young married E-2 and qualified for food stamps.
