Ford Motor Company announced plans to start assembling its F-Series Super Duty pickups trucks at the Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, in 2026.
This is just over a year after Ford had announced plans to turn the same plant into its Oakville Electric Vehicle Complex. The change is a result of strong demand for Super Duty vehicles among Ford Pro customers.
In total, Ford plans to invest approximately $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion to install assembly and integrated stamping operations at Oakville Assembly Complex.
The move to add production of up to 100,000 units of the Super Duty to Oakville expands Super Duty production across three plants in North America, including Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant.
The increased production will also add approximately 150 jobs at Windsor Engine Complex, which will manufacture V8 engines for Super Duty.
Ford also plans to hire new employees and add overtime at U.S. component plants that support Super Duty production, including Sharonville Transmission Plant in Ohio, Rawsonville Components Plant in Michigan, and Sterling Axle Plant in Michigan.
If you include powertrain, transmission, stamping and final assembly operations, 10 U.S. plants in five states support Super Duty production, directly employing approximately 20,000 workers.
