So what's the reason for such a huge price hike on the Limited? Besides the HO 3.5 EB, has Ford added more standard features? I've never priced a Limited, but for that kind coin I would think it'd have every available option on Fords menu!! Or does Ford just think that people that buy Limited trucks have more money than sense?!!

Actually, most of the metals used by Ford do come from U.S. manufacturers. The problem is that with the tariffs those manufacturers have raised prices to take advantage of the foreign prices being even higher with the tariffs.

For some unknown reason I am holding onto Ford (F) stock in my IRA. It has done nothing but lose money since I bought it 5 years or so ago. Every time I am about to hit sell, I backoff thinking it has finally bottomed out and will start performing.

Imagine that, capitalism is working.
This was discovered, the hard way, by the CEO of Nucor Steel, the biggest steel manufacturer in the USA. Their stock is down from $70+ in January, to $56 today, due to the tariffs.
In practice, the steel stocks have been slaughtered since the tariffs went into effect. Just look at the stock of Nucor, the best steelmaker in America, and the chief proponent of the 25% steel tariff on steel imports. Nucor is down by $10 since the tariffs were announced! Counterintuitive? How the heck is that possible? The whole point of this exercise was to help the US steelmakers by making foreign competition more expensive, and allowing companies like Nucor to raise their prices to levels where they could get a decent return.
Truly a case of Be Careful What You Wish For.
