In the recently announced 2025 Vincentric Best Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Value in America Awards, Ford earned top honors in both the truck and van categories, further cementing its place as a leader in commercial and fleet vehicles.

  • Innovative Technology: Models like the F-150 Lightning and E-Transit incorporate cutting-edge technology to enhance performance and reduce operational costs.

A Strong Showing for Ram Vans

While Ford dominated the awards, Ram also impressed in the van market. The Ram ProMaster City captured wins in both the Small Commercial Passenger Van and Small Commercial Cargo Van categories, highlighting its reliability and cost savings for businesses needing compact work vans.
