Ford Motor said on Thursday that it was lowering prices on most of its vehicles to the same levels it charges employees in a bid to boost sales as President Trump\u2019s tariffs on imported cars<\/a> took effect.<\/p>\n

The tariffs began on Thursday on vehicles imported from Mexico, Canada, Japan, Germany and other countries. The duties \u2014 25 percent of the value of the vehicle in most cases \u2014 are expected to increase prices of new cars and trucks and dampen demand.<\/p>\n

About half the vehicles sold in the United States each year are produced in other countries. Mexico is the top source of those cars and Canada is among the largest. For three decades, the United States, Canada and Mexico have had a free-trade zone, and automakers have moved parts and vehicles freely among the three countries.<\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s new program, which the company is calling \u201cFrom America, for America,\u201d could help reduce a large inventory of unsold cars. In February, Ford had more cars in inventory as measured by how many days it would take to sell them all than all but three other brands \u2014 Jaguar, Mimi and Dodge \u2014 according to Cox Automotive<\/a>, a research firm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ford\u2019s new discounts apply to all new 2024 and 2025 vehicles, except for specialty versions of the Bronco sport-utility vehicle; the Mustang sports car; Super Duty versions of F-Series pickups; and a few other models.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers will pay what we pay,\u201d Rob Kaffl, Ford\u2019s director of U.S. sales and dealer relations, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The automaker also said it was extending another incentive program in which buyers of new electric models get a home charger for free, along with the cost of installation. That offer is now valid until June 30.<\/p>\n

Ford had more than 568,000 vehicles in inventory at the end of March, up about 8 percent from a year ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
