A Wall Street Journal article published today announces that Ford Motor Company is going to spend $1.3 billion and create 2,000 jobs in Kentucky as part of an effort to increase availability of heavier-duty F-Series pickup trucks. Bigger versions of the truck, like the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, are moving to aluminum like the F-150 did.
Ford has a plan to expand production of larger vehicles at plants in the U.S. while moving more of its small-car manufacturing to countries like Mexico, where costs are lower. The Wall Street Journal article quotes Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of the Americas, who said, "We need to have some flexibility to move some of our smaller products to other locations."
