Overview

• Ford Argentina is injecting US$40 million into the Pacheco plant, raising the overall investment since 2021 to US$700 million.
• The funding aims to increase annual Ranger production above 80,000 units by 2026, a roughly 30 percent rise over 2024 output.
• Two new commercial variants—a single-cab and a chassis-cab model—are slated to enter production in the first half of 2026.
• The expansion will add over 150 direct jobs in the stamping and body shops, bringing total new hires in 2025 to over 300.
• About 70 percent of Pacheco’s Ranger output is earmarked for markets across South America, reinforcing Argentina’s export role.
