Ford Announces Expansion of Super Duty Truck Production in Canada
The push to add up to 100,000 units of its Super Duty to Oakville expands production across three plants in North America, including the Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant, which are operating at full capacity.
The increased production also adds approximately 150 jobs at Windsor Engine Complex, which will manufacture more V-8 engines for Super Duty.

Ford Motor Company announced plans to assemble F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks at its Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, starting in 2026. This move aims to boost the production of one of the company's most popular and profitable vehicles.
The push to add up to 100,000 units of its Super Duty to Oakville expands production across three plants in North America, including the Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant, which are operating at full capacity. It also paves the way for the next generation of Ford Super Duty trucks to use multi-energy technology, giving customers more freedom of choice and supporting the automaker's electrification plans.
"Super Duty is a vital tool for businesses and people around the world, and even with our Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant running flat out, we can't meet the demand. This move benefits our customers and supercharges our Ford Pro commercial business. At the same time, we look forward to introducing three-row electric utility vehicles, leveraging our experience in three-row utility vehicles and our learnings as America's No. 2 electric vehicle brand to deliver fantastic, profitable vehicles," said Jim Farley, Ford President and CEO.
Ford plans to invest approximately $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion to install assembly and integrated stamping operations at the Oakville Assembly Complex. When complete, the Oakville Assembly Complex will be a fully flexible plant.
Boosting Super Duty assembly will initially secure approximately 1,800 Canadian jobs at Oakville Assembly Complex, 400 more than would initially have been needed to produce the three-row electric vehicle. Unifor-represented employees at Oakville Assembly Complex will return to work in 2026, a year earlier than planned.
Redesigned in 2023 inside and out, every Super Duty is built with unprecedented levels of work capability, ingenious new technology and a suite of cloud-based services for new levels of productivity.

The increased production also adds approximately 150 jobs at Windsor Engine Complex, which will manufacture more V-8 engines for Super Duty.
Ford plans to hire new employees and add overtime at U.S. component plants that support Super Duty production.
Sharonville Transmission Plant in Ohio – $24 million investment and additional overtime
Rawsonville Components Plant in Michigan – $1 million investment and roughly 20 new jobs
Sterling Axle Plant in Michigan – approximately 50 new jobs
Ten U.S. plants in five states support Super Duty production across powertrain, transmission, stamping, and final assembly operations. Those plants directly employ approximately 20,000 American workers.
According to the manufacturer, Ford is the leader in producing and selling trucks in America, with two F-150 plants in Michigan and Missouri, two Super Duty plants in Kentucky and Ohio, and a Ranger plant in Michigan. Ford truck production directly and indirectly supports more than 500,000 jobs in America.
The company leads all automakers in U.S. production volume and exports and employs the most hourly manufacturing workers in the U.S. of any automaker.
