Ford Drops Entry-Level Cars | Raleigh News

About this episode

Ford’s exit from the affordable car market marks a bold pivot: their cheapest vehicle now costs over $33,000—far from the budget-friendly rides of yesteryear. As new car prices soar near $50,000 and monthly payments climb to $777, Ford’s leadership is betting big on premium SUVs, trucks, and performance vehicles, calling themselves “the Porsche of off-road.” The strategy’s already working—Ford beat earnings and raised its profit forecast. While rivals like Chevrolet still offer cheaper options, Ford promises future affordable electric pickups—but not for years. For now, budget buyers may need to look elsewhere as automakers realign around profit, not price.
