Henry Ford had many sins, but a lot of the flak he gets for being sympathetic to Hitler is a bit overblown. Henry Ford held more than a few abhorrent beliefs, but one of his more admirable traits was his deep commitment to pacifism and disgust at war. Therefore, Ford found Hitler's militarism and fascism's general embrace of war to be at odds with his own philosophy.

So while Ford did receive the Order of the German Eagle, he was far more low-key about it than other American recipients of the decoration such as IBM's Thomas Watson. Focusing on this decoration itself actually misses two key salient points about the Nazi relationship with American businessmen. One, the Eagle and other prestige items were a means by the Third Reich to cultivate contacts within American society that could in theory move American policy. This initiative largely failed with the exception of a few outliers like Lindbergh. The popularity of the Third Reich was never especially high within 1930s America and while a solid majority of American public opinion favored neutrality and non-involvement in European affairs, Germany's public stock was very low outside of a few fringes.

Secondly, the Ford's receipt of the medal did not mean American or American-owned businesses within Germany received special treatment by the Nazis. Hitler's government had enacted numerous laws and policies since assuming power that were aimed to Germanize such entities or at least bring them to heel to state directives. This meant firing of Jewish staff, hiring German managers, and keeping all profits of these entities within the Reich. American business leaders tried to play the game of cultivating contacts within the Third Reich to minimize these initiatives or to meet them half-way. This was only done with limited success, but the danger always was that the dictatorship would simply decree these concerns German property by fiat. Henry Ford's antisemitism and sympathies for Germany during World War I did not really garner Ford-Werke a favorable position within the Third Reich's economy (this answer of mine goes into some of the details more.)

As for Ford's mention in Mein Kampf, it certainly is not a distinction most people would want! But Mein Kampf's mention of Ford was limited to mentioning Ford's claim that the Jews were responsible for the First World War. As for Hitler's admiration for Ford, it was this allegedly speaking truth to Jewish power. Both Hitler and the Third Reich's relationship to Fordism though was more ambiguous, contrary to the claims of the linked pbs piece. The assembly line and the cult of mass production pioneered by Ford was something very much in tune with the scientific-mindedness of the Third Reich. The KdF-Wagen was very much a state-sponsored imitation of Ford's ideal of a car for the everyman. Yet German business culture often viewed Fordism with alarm as the assembly line and its anonymity. Evan as German industrial firms grew ever larger, there still was a strong attachment to ideas of craftsmanship and qualität. The NSDAP's own appeals to workers often stressed bringing back the dignity of work to the German proletariat. Propaganda materials directed to factory workers stressed they were not cogs in a machine but rather skilled artisans producing products of German ingenuity, all of which the state enabled. Although reality was much different than rhetoric, the Nazi approach to Fordism was it wanted its efficiencies without its social costs. This was a similar to the selective adaptation of Ford's ideals by the Soviets. While Lenin and company certainly looked at both Fordism and its cousin Taylorism as a capitalist tool to enslave the proletariat to productivity, they did see both as efficient methods to enable the USSR's rapid industrialization. Fordist-style management became one of the major hallmarks of the Soviet factory and while the state disparaged its capitalist origins, the logic of the system received state approval. Soviet factories still ran along Fordist lines even through the end of the USSR even as Western manufacturing began to follow different management models.

So while Ford's antisemitism did earn him some praise from the Nazis, he also held views on war that the Third Reich was very much at odds with ideologically. Ford was also a symbol of an American -style capitalism that many quarters within Germany found gauche and un-German. So deeming Ford a Nazi is a step too far. The Nazi praise for Ford was invariably selective, self-serving, and very one-sided.
