Ford Offers Big Discounts As Tariffs Spark Sales Surge

Ford Motor Company is offering big discounts across many models as it rides the wave of auto sales surging following new tariffs on imported vehicles. The company is offering employee pricing—a special discounted rate usually reserved for Ford employees—to all U.S. customers. This is called the “From America for America” plan to boost domestic sales and stay competitive with rising industry costs.
Ford’s Discount Program
Ford makes 80% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. here in the U.S. So it has an advantage over some competitors who import more. But it still faces cost increases due to tariffs on imported parts. The discount will be on most of Ford’s lineup including the Mustang Mach-E and Maverick both built in Mexico. But not the Super Duty trucks. The program runs until June 2 so customers have a limited time to take advantage of the savings.
Tariffs on the Auto Industry
Last week President Trump put a 25% tariff on all auto imports. The auto industry is in an uproar. The U.S. is the world’s biggest car importer with nearly half of all vehicles sold in the country last year coming from overseas. He then broadened the tariffs to a 10% baseline on all imports and even higher for specific countries. Vehicles built in Mexico and Canada that comply with the USMCA trade agreement are mostly exempt. But auto exports and key materials like steel and aluminum are not.
Ford’s Advantage
According to Barclays analysts Ford is well positioned to weather the tariffs because of its high domestic production. General Motors and Stellantis make about half of the vehicles they sell in the U.S. here in the U.S. so they are more vulnerable to price increases. Ford also has above average inventory with over four months worth of stock in February—higher than the industry average of nearly three months.
Boost in Auto Sales
Sales have surged since the tariffs were announced with customers flocking to dealerships to buy cars before prices go up. According to Cox Automotive Ford’s incentives were slightly below the industry average in February with discounts making up 6.7% of the average transaction price vs. the industry average 7.1% ($3,392 per vehicle). The company’s latest discount program is to keep the momentum going.
Conclusion
Ford’s aggressive pricing strategy provides a timely opportunity for consumers looking to purchase a new vehicle before tariffs drive costs higher. With its strong domestic production base and well-stocked inventory, Ford is well-positioned to navigate the shifting market dynamics while maintaining its competitive edge. Shoppers interested in taking advantage of these limited-time offers should act before the promotion ends on June 2.
