Ford’s hiking prices of some Mexico-produced vehicles by up to $2,000

Ford promised no promises about hiking vehicle prices once it winds down its employee pricing discounts, and folks? It’s keeping that promise.

According to reporting by Reuters (confirmed by Ford), the automaker is raising the price of three of its Mexico-built vehicles by up to $2,000.

The higher prices are based on the production date of the vehicles. Any Mustang Mach-E SUV, Bronco Sport, or Maverick pickup truck built after May 2 will see cost adjustments.

Vehicles produced in May are expected to arrive on dealer lots in late June or early July, matching Ford’s announcement from last week that it wouldn’t rule out price hikes after its discount period ends July 4.

Earlier this week, Ford announced it expects a $1.5 billion tariff hit this year. That’s shy of the up to $1.9 billion projected by Rivian and far less than GM’s $5 billion estimate.

Paramount+ wants to look a lot more like TikTok, leaked documents reveal

Larry Ellison’s Oracle just took a 15% stake in TikTok’s US arm. David Ellison’s Paramount streaming service could soon look a lot more like it.

According to leaked documents seen by Business Insider, Paramount+ is planning a big push into short-form, user-generated video in the vein of the addictive feeds of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Per Business Insider, the documents reveal that short-form videos are a top priority for the streamer in the first quarter of 2026, and executives are working on adding a personalize feed of clips to the mobile app.

The move would follow similar mobile-centric plans from Disney, which earlier this month announced that it would bring vertical video to Disney+ this year, and Netflix, which during its earnings call said it would revamp its mobile app toward vertical video feeds and expand its short-form video features.

Streamers are increasingly competing for user attention with popular apps. YouTube is regularly the most popular streaming service by time spent.
