Ford executive says automaker has competitive edge against tariffs, will adjust operations

Ford executive says automaker has competitive edge against tariffs, will adjust operations Show Caption Hide Caption Ford Motor Company: Understanding the automaker's history, legacy Explore the rich history of Ford Motor Company, from its groundbreaking assembly line innovations to iconic cars like the Model T, Mustang, and F-150. Ford seeks to leverage its U.S. manufacturing base and explore opportunities presented by the changing trade environment. While committed to EVs, Ford has reduced investment in EV development due to decreased demand. Ford Motor Co. will adjust its operations and footprint over the next 12 to 24 months to find ways to mitigate the costs from President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts. It is also focused on continued development of electric vehicles, even as demand for EVs softens and emissions policies could shift. Those are two of the highlights from a broad-reaching interview May 28 between Ford Vice Chairman John Lawler and autos analyst Daniel Roeska at the Bernstein 41st Annual Strategic Decisions Conference. Roeska quizzed Lawler about Ford's plans to address tariffs if the duties continue and about the automaker's commitment to EVs. In April, Trump imposed 25% tariffs — taxes an importer pays when goods cross international borders — on vehicles imported into the United States and imported parts that are not compliant with the United States Mexico Canada Trade Agreement. In its first-quarter earnings report on May 5, Ford said tariffs dented its adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by $200 million in the quarter. The company suspended its financial guidance for 2025 due to tariff uncertainty. But it said it expected tariffs to inflict a $1.5 billion hit to the automaker's adjusted EBIT for the full year. In case you missed it: Ford to hike prices on these models, including the 'most affordable pickup in America.' Are tariffs to blame? Ford's latest take on tariffs Lawler said Ford has a competitive advantage against tariffs at the moment because about 80% of the vehicles Ford sells in the states are also made here. Still, Lawler said the company has not moved from its anticipated net hit to earnings of $1.5 billion from tariffs. He added, however, "we're continuing to work on that and understand that." "We're continuing to leverage our competitive advantage in our footprint to try to identify opportunities for us over the next 12 to 24 months where we can take advantage of the shifting environment," Lawler said. Lawler did not provide specifics on what Ford is doing to leverage its competitive advantage, but when asked whether he believed Ford could take action that would reduce the impact tariffs will have on the company's costs, Lawler said yes. "Part of that is when you look at the parts, pushing more of those parts to be USMCA-compliant, that's a tack that we can take," Lawler said. "We can onshore parts that aren't onshored today, although a large percentage of our parts are. So those are different tactics that we can take working with the supply base to minimize some of that impact." Lawler said Ford is going to continue to work on "all of the levers" it can tweak to reduce its exposure to tariffs. "Then we'll also have to look at the go-to-market end of it as well and are there going to be additional opportunities there beyond what we've identified so far," Lawler said. "And a lot of that also is going to be the reactions of counter-tariffs and other things that happened there, and what does that mean for us and then how will we adjust to that? So it's a dynamic environment." Lawler said Ford is looking at areas "on the top line as well as on the cost side" and in its footprint now to offset the impact of tariffs. Ford's EV agenda In the interview May 28, Roeska asked about the other change expected from the new Trump administration: A deemphasis on the transition to EVs and a possible phaseout of the incentives President Joe Biden put in place, incentives that have helped spur EV adoption. There has also been talk of rolling back the Environmental Protection Agency targets making it less urgent for automakers to offer zero-emissions vehicles to meet compliancy goals. Lawler said Ford's long-term views on EVs has not changed despite any of those possibilities. He said the demand for EVs has softened in the past 12 to 18 months and Ford, along with the rest of the industry, has adjusted to that by reducing the cash it invests in EV development. "But we're not pulling back completely on investing. So they're going to come and we're really excited about the Advanced EV team in California and what they're developing for us, for our next generation of EVs," Lawler said. "We think those are going to be a game changer." Ford's all-electric vehicle lineup currently includes the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and the E-Transit van. Lawler said Ford is "leaning into" its hybrid technologies, which offers consumers a transition to full electrification. Ford remains committed to creating more affordable EVs as well, he said, believing affordability will increase adoption. "We believe that where we're shifting our focus on EVs to small, more affordable, mainstream products versus what others and what the industry has leaned into so far when it comes to EVs, we think those are all opportunities for us in that the EV horizon, although it's flattened out, it's still going to, it's going to shift. It's going to happen," Lawler said. "It's just going to take longer." Jamie L. LaReau is the senior autos writer who covers Ford Motor Co. for the Detroit Free Press.

Ford recall could force over 1 million drivers to use this safety technique

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently issued notices for over 1 million vehicles under the Ford Motor Company umbrella including Ford and Lincoln nameplates. The huge Ford recall is due to a major software issue that extends to several best-selling models including the 2021-2024 Ford F-150, 2021-2024 Ford Bronco, and more. This software issue raises a major question for American drivers. Have cars become too advanced for our own good, simplifying driving to a point where our skills as drivers have dulled? Furthermore, is a reliance on new safety and driver assistance features potentially dangerous? Prior to the rise of rearview cameras in America, many drivers had to reverse by turning their heads to look through their rear window or rely on rearview mirrors. Drivers of older vehicles still rely on this technique, and over one million Ford owners affected by this recall could be forced to as well (until their vehicles are repaired). So, Ford drivers who are operating affected vehicles may benefit from using the same technique drivers use during licensing road tests. The added step of glancing out of the rear window while reversing (as drivers did pre-backup cam) could help reduce the risk of crashes. Why are over a million Ford models included in NHTSA's recent recall notices? A "frozen or missing rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash", according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's safety report. A whopping 1,075,299 units are potentially affected by this issue, making this recall one of the largest of 2025. Ford is remedying this issue by updating vehicle software at authorized dealers or through over-the-air updates free of charge. Letters notifying owners of the potential safety risk are expected to be mailed by June 16. Why is this such a serious issue for American drivers? Driver assistance and safety features have evolved over the past decade. Today, many American drivers have access to standard technologies such as front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitors, lane-keeping assist, and even rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking — all designed to help prevent potential collisions while reversing. These features have arguably made driving safer than previous years due to automatic braking and increased alerts/awareness, but what did drivers do before these features became so popular? "Backup cameras, which are also referred to as reverse cameras and rearview cameras, have been a required safety feature in all new American-made cars since May 1, 2018" according to Hagerty, an American automotive lifestyle and membership company. Rearview cameras changed the way Americans drive because they simplified a process that drivers had practiced for decades. Suddenly parallel parking and reversing had become both easier and safer for drivers because rearview cameras give better indications of proximity than a rearview mirror. The addition of front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitors, and 360-degree cameras make reversing even easier. Rearview cameras reduce reversing crash rates, says the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, thus a sudden loss of rearview camera accessibility could increase reversing crash rates. Ford's recall hints at a wider issue for the entire industry and American drivers. Has driving become too easy in the eyes of Americans due to innovative new features? Driver attention warning features are becoming standard on many popular nameplates because of the potential for drivers to become distracted. Operating a motor vehicle has gotten easier over the last few decades, possibly to the detriment of drivers. Vehicles can now be parked remotely and driven semi-autonomously (with a strong emphasis on "semi"). Most semi-automated vehicle systems "fall short on safety" according to a 2024 report on vehicle safety tests by CBS News. Between all the new sensors, warning indicators, automatic braking, and advanced cruise control, drivers are growing increasingly reliant on technology to make driving safer and more convenient. What happens when that technology or software fails? Read more about recalls from Ford and other major automakers here.
