​​Ford Claims Multiple Certified Pre-Owned Vincentric Awards​

One of the best ways to own a pre-owned vehicle is to purchase one that is Certified Pre-Owned. This vehicle has been thoroughly inspected, offered with an extended warranty from the original coverage, and looks and runs as good as the day it originally arrived at the dealership.   

Each brand offers a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle program. Ford offers the best value among them all. This was recognized at the 12th annual Vincentric Best Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Value in America Awards. At these awards, Ford earned the 2024 Vincentric Best CPO Value in America brand award in the Truck and Van categories, along with six other model-level awards.  

Who is Vincentric? They are a privately held automotive data compilation and analysis firm that measures vehicle cost of ownership using eight factors: depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. 

Here is what Ford earned at these awards: 

• Ford – Best CPO Value in America: Truck Brand category (fifth time, second consecutive) 

• Ford – Best CPO Value in America: Van Brand category (ninth consecutive) 

• Ford Maverick Hybrid – Best CPO Value in America: Small/Mid-Size Pickup segment (second consecutive) 

• Ford F-150 Lightning – Best CPO Value in America: Full-Size 1/2-Ton Pickup segment (ninth time for F-150) 

• Ford Super Duty F-250 – Best CPO Value in America: Full-Size 3/4-Ton Pickup segment (second time) 

• Ford Super Duty F-350 – Best CPO Value in America: Full-Size 1-Ton Pickup segment (third time) 

• Ford E-Transit 350 – Best CPO Value in America: Large Cargo Van segment (seventh time for Transit) 

• Ford Expedition – Best CPO Value in America: Large SUV segment (fifth time, third consecutive) 

The individual model awards represent the best-selling vehicles in their respective classes. They also represent the most wanted and desirable vehicles in the automotive market, which is why Ford is the best-selling manufacturer of pickup trucks and commercial vehicles in the U.S.A.  

The Maverick is a ground-breaking compact pickup truck with a segment-exclusive hybrid driveline. It offers the best fuel economy in the pickup truck segment. The Expedition is a large SUV that offers space, performance, and comfort and runs for miles on end, keeping families happy every mile.    

The E-Transit has become the standard for electric full-sized vans made for local delivery services and home repair technicians. The availability of roof heights and lengths is made for upfit options for higher productivity, thus reducing downtime per vehicle. Add the lower cost of operation using electricity instead of fuel, and the E-Transit makes sense for businesses here in the state capitol.  

Of course, there’s the F-Series lineup – the F-150 and the Super Duty pickup trucks. The best-selling lineup of vehicles for over four decades in the U.S.A., each F-Series pickup truck stands for the purpose of doing anything you ask it to do. From bringing home the next project to towing a camping trailer up to the campsite or tailgating at the next USC game – there is an F-Series made specifically for you.  

Each Ford Blue Advantage Certified Vehicle must pass a detailed multi-point inspection before becoming Gold, EV, or Blue Certified. Each vehicle will also feature comprehensive limited warranty coverage, a 14-Day/1,000-Mile (whichever comes first) Money Back Guarantee, Ford Roadside Assistance available 24/7, and FordPass Rewards Points eligibility. Plus, Ford fully electric vehicles feature 8-Year/100,000-Mile (whichever comes first) BaseCARE EV Limited Warranty coverage—all backed by Ford. Simply put, value goes beyond price. Customers are winners as they seek these vehicles for their own use.  

The best part about these vehicles is that they are in our Certified Pre-Owned inventory. If value is important to you, contact us at Dick Smith Ford of Columbia to get into a Ford Blue Advantage Certified used vehicle soon.
