Ford reverses course on AM radio, will include it in new cars

Ford is one of many automakers to ditch AM radio in its new cars. It started with the Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, but the feature subtraction was due to spread to its internal combustion models, too. That’s no longer the case, as CEO Jim Farley just vowed to keep AM radio in both Ford and Lincoln cars for the foreseeable future.

Farley posted to social media that Ford would include an AM radio on all of its 2024 model year vehicles and provide a software update to add it back to vehicles it’s shipped that already have the AM radio deleted. You can read the message from Farley below.
