Novelist plant fires have been costly to avoid the production of some of the most popular and profitable vehicles. The Fire will hit $2 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter, the automaker reported Thursday in its third-quarter earnings. Those costs, plus a $1 billion headwind from tariffs, led Ford to cut its full-year profit guidance for 2025 to $6 billion from $6.5 billion.
Ford’s solution to recover related losses is to increase the production volume of the F-series by more than 50,000 trucks in 2026 by adding a third shift. The plan is expected to create up to 1,000 new jobs and all the daily employees at the Electric Electric Vehicle Center will be transferred to the doorstep of the beloved truck plant.
