For all the automaking jobs shifting to Mexico, Ford is saying today that it's going to shift some jobs back to the USA.

Production of the 2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, near Cleveland. Currently, Ford makes its medium-duty trucks in Mexico.

For just announced the new medium-duty trucks to its lineup earlier this week.

Ford plans to invest $168 million to retool the plant to make bigger trucks. The new line will replace the Ford E-Series delivery vans tha are currently made in the plant, which has been open since 1974. The E-Series is being phased out in favor of new, more efficient Transit vans.

Still, the move to the Ohio plant represents a rare victory for automaking in the U.S. Automakers are continuing to open or expand their factories in Mexico. Honda, for instance, has a plant there that will make the Fit subcompact.
