Ford – $700M to Louisville Plant for 2023 Super Duty Pickup

Ford Motor Company said today it is investing $700 million to build the new F-Series Super Duty pickup at the Kentucky Truck plant in Louisville. The all-new 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty will be revealed tonight at 7:15 p.m. EDT at Churchill Downs and goes on sale next spring. Ford is the largest vehicle producer and one of the largest employers in Kentucky, with more than 12,000 people working at two assembly plants in Louisville. Ford said it employs more than 12,000 people in Kentucky and supports ~120,000 direct and indirect jobs in the state with a state GDP contribution of $11.8 billion. Ford also manufactures Super Duty at its Ohio Assembly Plant.
“UAW Local 862 members are proud to be a part of the F-Series Super Duty’s success both today and tomorrow,” said UAW President Ray Curry. “We celebrate this $700 million investment into Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant, as it shows that UAW members continue to play an important role in Ford’s future.”
Ford also claims to be the top assembler of vehicles in America. The F-Series pickup generated nearly $40 billion in revenue last year, “more than the global revenue of Coca-Cola and Starbucks. F-Series Super Duty on its own generates more revenue than major companies such as Southwest Airlines, Marriott International or Nordstrom,” according to Ford.
