Revving Up Understanding of Tariffs in the Auto Industry and a look at the Ford Escape.
About this episode
Sundarish Haragu joins the In Wheel Time Podcast to discuss the complexities of tariffs in the automotive supply chain, highlighting their impact on both manufacturers and consumers. The conversation delves into the tiered structure of suppliers and how tariffs can create both benefits and challenges for the industry. Additionally, Mr. Mars reviews the 2023 Ford Escape, detailing its features, performance, and pricing in comparison to competitors. The episode wraps up with a calendar of upcoming automotive events.
The plot thickens when we delve into the potential offshore ownership of US Steel and its implications for American industries reliant on steel, like automotive and tin can production. Imagine the irony of tariffs aimed to protect, yet the sale might undermine these very industries—it's a twist worthy of a Hollywood script! We'll also share a chuckle over Sunderesh's savvy in the face of Oklahoma's upcoming winter chill and we preview some car-related happenings.
In our New Car Feature segment, Michael Marrs offers his take on the 2023 Ford Escape Platinum AWD—a story you won't want to miss.

Mazda Cx5
"The RAV4 starts at $28,2. The Mazda CX-5 starts at $26, so they're all in that upper 20s as far as starting goes, and then from there it kind of depends on where you want to go with all-wheel drive and all the other accoutrements that you want to get. But again, as I said, to look at it, it's a very competitive segment."
