Ford Motor Company has announced a $3 billion investment to expand production of its popular Super Duty trucks, including a significant $2.3 billion upgrade at the Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, a plant that was previously set to be converted into an all-electric vehicle hub.
This move will add capacity for approximately 100,000 units annually starting in 2026, and secures roughly 1,800 Canadian jobs, 400 more than initially planned.
The investment aims to meet rising demand for Super Duty trucks, primarily used by commercial and business customers. Ford currently produces these trucks at plants in Ohio and Kentucky, which are already operating at full capacity.
“Our customers rely on Super Duty trucks, and expanding production to Oakville is necessary to meet demand,” said Ford CEO Jim Farley. The expansion also supports Ford’s electrification plans, introducing multi-energy technology to the next generation of Super Duty trucks.
Additionally, Ford will invest in U.S. plants such as Sharonville Transmission Plant in Ohio ($24 million), Rawsonville Components Plant in Michigan ($1 million, 20 new jobs), and Sterling Axle Plant in Michigan (50 new jobs).
Ford remains the leader in U.S. truck production, supporting over 500,000 jobs.
