Ford says it plans to start making its F-Series Super Duty pickups at a plant in Ontario, Canada beginning in 2026 in order to keep up with customer demand for the vehicle.
The investment preserves about 1,800 jobs in Oakville, plus Ford will add 150 workers at a Windsor, Ontario, engine plant and about 70 positions at some U.S. component factories.
Firmly onto the anti-truck train but at least they’ll be made by Canadian union labor. 🥹 We’re not stopping them from hitting the streets if someone else makes 'em. We need regulation or higher gas prices for that.
DETROIT (AP) — Ford plans to start making its F-Series Super Duty pickups at a plant in Ontario, Canada beginning in 2026 in order to keep up with customer demand for the vehicle.

The investment preserves about 1,800 jobs in Oakville, plus Ford will add 150 workers at a Windsor, Ontario, engine plant and about 70 positions at some U.S. component factories.
Ford’s statement said commercial customers have placed a high number of orders for Super Duty trucks since the company recently launched a new model.
