Ford is adding more than 1,000 jobs to increase F-150 production after supply setbacks, as it doubles down on profitable gas and hybrid trucks.

Ford (F) has halted production of its electric pickup truck at the Rouge EV Center in Michigan following a fire at an aluminum supplier’s factory. The F-150 Lightning will remain on pause as Ford focuses on more profitable gas and hybrid F-Series trucks.

Ford said on Oct. 23 that it will boost its F-Series production volume by more than 50,000 trucks next year, ramping up from the first quarter of 2026. The automaker said the move will create up to 1,000 new jobs, 900 of them in Michigan and 100 more in Kentucky.
