Ford Follows Customers to Drive Profitable Growth
Ford's news release of 15 December 2025 announces a redeployment of capital toward trucks, hybrids, affordable EVs and a new battery energy storage business: F-150 Lightning production has concluded, the next-generation Lightning shifts to an extended-range design that Doug Field says "tows like a locomotive," and Ford expects about $19.5 billion in special items, most in the fourth quarter of 2025. CEO Jim Farley calls the move "a customer-driven shift to create a stronger, more resilient and more profitable Ford," and Ford raised its 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance to about $7 billion.
