Overview

  • Ford has stopped exporting US-built F-150 Raptors, Mustangs, Broncos, and Lincoln Navigators to China due to increased tariffs of up to 150%.
  • The decision comes as part of Ford's response to escalating US-China trade tensions and reciprocal tariff hikes on automotive imports.
  • Ford's exports of US-made vehicles to China fell to 5,500 units in 2024, a significant drop from its decade-long annual average of 20,000.
  • Despite export challenges, Ford's joint ventures in China reported $900 million in operating profit in 2024, with total Chinese sales reaching 442,000 vehicles.
  • China remains a critical market for automakers, but Ford's market share in the country has declined to 1.6%, reflecting broader struggles in the region.
