Ford announced on Thursday it plans to assemble F-Series Super Duty pickups at its Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, starting in 2026.
This move will boost production of one of Ford’s most popular vehicles by up to 100,000 units, adding to existing production at plants in Kentucky and Ohio. Ford did not clarify where it is shifting EV production.
The shift will also incorporate multi-energy technology into the next generation of Super Duty trucks, aligning with Ford’s electrification strategy. Ford President and CEO Jim Farley highlighted the importance of Super Duty trucks for both businesses and the company’s commercial operations.
Ford plans to invest $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion for assembly and stamping operations at Oakville. This expansion will secure approximately 1,800 jobs at Oakville, with Unifor-represented employees returning to work a year earlier than planned. An additional 150 jobs will be created at Windsor Engine Complex to support increased V8 engine production.
“This investment will benefit Ford, our employees in Canada and the U.S., and especially our customers who want and need Super Duty for their lives and livelihoods,” said Kumar Galhotra, Ford Chief Operating Officer.
