So, if you look down the road far enough, you may be excited to know that Ford is promising a new "affordable gas engine pick up truck" as part of its production line, hopefully by the end of the decade.
With new truck prices claiming so quickly toward the hundred thousand dollar mark for a fully loaded full-size fancy four-wheel-drive pick up, the idea of building more affordable models certainly is long overdue.
It's probably too early to know exactly what they're talking about here, but this promised development certainly might be something to keep an eye on for those who you could plant for enough in the future (or who may even still be alive in @ 6 years
).
According to the story, linked below:
"A brand-new Ford pick-up truck, built in the United States and with an internal combustion engine, is set to enter production before the end of the decade, according to Ford CEO Chris Farley.
Speaking during the presidential visit to Ford’s Blue Oval City facility, Farley confirmed that a new “combustion truck, an affordable one," would be joining the American brand’s line-up alongside the Maverick, the Ranger, and the celebrated F-Series as part of company plans to expand one of its US manufacturing hubs. The statement also, seemingly, puts an end to any future plans Ford may have had to expand its electric pickup range"
it seems the idea for this new model comes directly from the thought that tariffs on foreign made vehicles may be around to stay, and that intelligent long-term planning for American automobile manufacturers means more of their vehicle vehicles need to be built in the United States.
"Though details regarding size and pricing are understandably sparse, Farley has, as reported by Road & Track, confirmed that production of the new and affordable pickup will begin in 2029 at Ford’s Blue Oval City facility in Tennessee. The facility, first announced in 2021 and originally slated to produce electric pickups from 2025 onwards, will be repurposed, with production expected to begin shortly thereafter.
Farley’s comments also confirm reports, briefly teased in late 2025, that an affordable combustion pickup would be joining Ford’s line-up. The as-yet unnamed, gas-powered truck effectively replaces plans for a mid-sized all-electric pickup, which was expected to be launched in 2027, priced below the $30,000 USD mark."
