“From F-250 pickup to the F-600 utility truck, Super Duty is the badge America’s hardest-working men and women have come to trust to get the toughest jobs done. Super Duty customers are builders — the backbone of our communities and our economy. We poured every ounce of know-how and ingenuity we have into developing the truck of their dreams — smarter, more powerful, full of clever features and technology,” said Ford President and Chief Executive (CEO) Jim Farley.

The debut of the all-new Ford F-Series Super Duty was made even special thanks to the State of Kentucky’s proclamation that makes September 27, “Kentrucky Day.” The declaration was made by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.

“To honor Ford’s investment and this great Team Kentucky partner, I have officially proclaimed, September 27, 2022, Kentrucky Day in the commonwealth. Kentuckians have been building Ford trucks since the Model T, and we are thrilled this tradition is going to continue with the all-new Ford F-Series Super Duty,” stated Governor Beshear.

The Governor’s Kentrucky Day proclamation reads:

“Whereas, Ford Motor Company employs more than 12,000 people in Kentucky and supports approximately 120,000 jobs in the Commonwealth; and

Whereas, Ford Motor Company has a 109-year history in Kentucky and a state GDP contribution of $11.8 billion; and

Whereas, Ford Motor Company and its partners have announced plans to add 5,000 more jobs and invest $5.8 billion to build BlueOval SK Battery Park to assemble batteries to power the next generation of Ford and Lincoln vehicles; and

Whereas, Trucks are essential to families and businesses, large and small, across the Commonwealth of Kentucky; and

Whereas, Today, Ford is the largest vehicle producer in the Bluegrass State; and

Whereas, There are 8,500 people who work at Ford Motor Company’s Kentucky Truck Plant where F-Series Super Duty Trucks are produced; and

Whereas, Ford Motor Company will reveal the all-new 2023 Super Duty Truck in Louisville Kentucky on September 27, 2022

Now, Therefore, I, Andy Beshear, Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, do hereby proclaim that September 27, 2022, be known as Kentrucky Day.”

“Ford’s roots run deep in Kentucky. We hope Kentuckians take just as much pride in building America’s favorite truck as they do in their basketball, bourbon, and thoroughbreds. On behalf of our 12,000 Ford and UAW employees, we thank Gov. Beshear for supporting this Kentrucky Day celebration,” said Ford Blue Americas Manufacturing and Labor affairs Vice President (VP) John Savona.
