The 2025 F-150 offers a choice of several engines starting with a 325-hp twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 and stepping up to a 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8, a 400-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, and a 430-hp hybrid powertrain that consists of a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 and a 47-hp electric motor.
0-60–MPH Times
At our test track, the 2024 F-150 Tremor with the 5.0-liter V-8 got to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds. A previous Tremor we tested with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 was even quicker, leaping to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.
In 1982 I looked at a Harley Davidson at a dealer in Denmark. An Electra Glide FLH.
We hashed out the cost. I recall bottom line that with my income it would have taken 80 years to finish pay for it. This was taking 100% of funds after tax.
I did not buy lol. I later found out that Danish gov applied a 280% 'import duty' to this product. What it is today I have no idea.
Yeah, here in Denmark you buy one car, and pay for three. And then normies have the gall to slander Trump for imposing tariffs...
The funny part is, the car producers know that we are taxed the shit out of us when buying a car, so many sell their cars cheaper in Denmark, than in other countries. If you move to another country and give up residence in Denmark, you can buy the car without tariffs and taxes, but you have to take it out of the country within 24hrs.
Building local bypasses tariffs. Unless they use foreign parts, where the tariffs are applied per part.
The whole point of tariffs is to bring production in-country. If companies want to employ local labor, they are welcome to set up shop, and if they are smart they source local steel.
Subaru does have one car co-built with Toyota who does a lot of US production, but that one is a low production sports car probably 100% Japan.
pnwhomebrewer - Tariff would only affect repair parts from Japan. If third party repair parts from the US are available they will be preferred by third party shops. And if you are in warranty the dealership prices won't change.
It baffles me that Subaru has such a hard time building engines with head gaskets that last. While other auto manufacturers have had head gasket problems too, they don't seem to struggle as consistently as Subaru does.
Alright. About that time, I suppose is when the cars except WRX got the dreaded CVT trans then. However , Subaru remains the #1 choice of the American hiking boot wearing lesbian. I'll stick with my GMC. 😁
These vehicles are only assembled here. Meaning the components engine trans body parts ect are built in Asia or wherever, shipped here then assembled. The components will still face the tariffs.
Disgusting to think Ireland and England used to manufacture Fords for EU markets, until commie unions and civil service incompetence destroyed everything.
I pray that Trump destroys any faith the normies have in their glorious governments.
The Nazi Henry Ford was given the highest non military honor that was obtanable by Adolf Hitler. He received this honor for building so much of the wheeled machines nessisary to kill allied soldiers. Ford had at least one huge assembly plant in Germany. Later in the European war, the allied air forces mostly Americans bombed the Ford factory to shit. After the war, the Nazi Henry Ford successfully sued for the destruction of the factory.
I live in Japan and there is some faggot in town who drives a Hummer. There are streets that even a Japanese car might have difficulty negotiating, but that asshole drives a big frickin' Hummer. Stupid.
Go ahead and downvote me. I take it you've never driven Japanese streets in your life. Anyone who chooses to drive a Hummer here automatically forfeits his ability to drive a good percentage of roads. They are impractical here and he's imposing a limitation on himself just to compensate for his shortcomings. For example, the exit from my neighborhood onto the main road is not wide enough to accommodate two cars, forcing cooperation and people must patiently wait for each other. Going the opposite direction requires a 150 degree turn for a Y-shaped intersection. He'd have to drive a half kilometer out of his way just to find an intersection his big-ass guzzler can even turn onto.
That's his choice. Why are you complaining? That sounds like "You've never had COVID before!!! You don't want to skip the vax! Do you know how much sicker you'll get and you might be hospitalized and die blablabla" - that's my problem, not yours. Same shit here. You're not driving the Hummer. So what? He likes it that way.
I'm just saying that it's impractical and excessive. Sure he has the right to own it. I never once said that he mustn't be allowed to own it. If he can afford gas for it, that's fine. It just doesn't make sense to drive something that limits one's ability to drive a good number of smaller streets and roads.
I would like to think that you've fully assimilated into the Japanese way, especially the "courtesy to others" aspect. I've been binge watching this Youtube channel called "Real Rural Japan," with an Aussie living in the countryside. Very peaceful.
These tariffs are going to greatly change my pricing to my customer. A great deal of the parts are manufactured in Asia and I will be forced to raise my prices.
I'm sorry. I think you have misunderstood the meaning and especially intent of my comment. It's a fact. I was just stating facts. I'm not whining about it or dooming. Everyone's transmission rebuild prices are going to go up. Not just mine. I'm not against the idea of tariffs. I hope that it's clear now.
Straight from the White House. Explains what is an "automobile part." (under "1.") They also plan to add additional parts that may be subject to tariffs in the future. (under "(7)," near the end)
New cars, commercially imported to Israel are subject to VAT (17% of their value), and purchase tax (up to 83% of their value). 1Additional purchase tax of 20% is imposed on the part of the price exceeding NIS 300,000 (about EUR 75,000)of Luxury cars.
The reality is, most Europeans have no use for such cars. I would not want to have one if it costed 20k. It is far too big for driving into the city or any type of underground parking garage.
I got a sleek stationwagon for 5k out of a lease contract. It had 19 kmiles on it. You simply can't beat that. Ironically, it is also an American car, but produced in the EU.
In many cases, parts are manufactured in canada to make components assembled in USA then sent back to Canada to make larger components then sent back to USA for Assembling a vehicle.
What Terriffs will those face?
$96k for a 3.5 V6??
Yes, and it's limited to 50mph top speed.
Finland is so screwed up..
😂😂😂
Civil servants rape us on new vehicles, in the interest of essential services of course.

By your comment I can see not much changed since I departed. Very sad.
There was a time a few years back when I was contemplating going back however in hindsight I am glad I stayed in Canada no matter how screwed up she.
ohh thought here. So I could buy a brand new HD trike cheaply, load it up and move to Crimea hot sunny coast line. I like that thought lol
You only pay in drone-attacks against you.
What about foreign companies who make cars in America like Subaru or Toyota?

I get that. I was just asking cause I drive a Subaru. I have no idea where they make their parts.
Japan. As far as I know there's no Scooby do assembly done in the states. And it's hard to keep the head gaskets from blowing out. 😁

It's no surprise Ford F-150 or other American cars are so rare in Finland.
The top 10 car manufacturers in terms of cars sold in Finland are:

He wrote a book on a certain subject, was he wrong?
I am aware of the book. I won't comment on it here. And your careful wording says you know why.
His Japan Factory survived the war . And the Japanese Ford trucks supplied good parts for American trucks , convenient .
Yes. That portion of the war had a very different ending
English fords were at times hot little cars
Wow that's like a ... how do I say this...a...
Super "Duty"

ok faggot it's ok u can go buy an EV thats not tesla. stop being a fucking karen
A Hummer H2, I presume? Being an old, heavy car, the Shaken must be expensive (I calculated it to be almost 100k yen).
Other places have to deal with this too, like the Death Road in Bolivia and Amalfi in Italy - but they have to drive a friggin bus, lol.

I did not see "parts" being included in the tariffs. Do you have the sauce that mentions parts?

You won't care once your income tax is eliminated.
Have you raised your prices at all in the last 4yrs and have your customers still paid it?
