Ford’s certified pre-owned (CPO) lineup continues to set the standard for cost-effective ownership in the truck and van markets.
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.

Vincentric's Award-Winning Trucks and Vans
The F-series trucks and Transit vans led the way, delivering superior value and performance. Additionally, the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 took a top spot for Full-Size 1-Ton Pickup:
Category | Winning Model | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|
Small/Mid-Size Pickup | Ownership costs over $5,771 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 7 competitor models. | |
Full-Size 1/2-Ton Pickup | Ownership costs over $542 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 7 competitor models. | |
Full-Size 3/4-Ton Pickup | Ford F-250 | Ownership costs over $880 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 3 competitor models. |
Full-Size 1-Ton Pickup | Ownership costs over $1,489 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 3 competitor models. |
Why Ford Stands Out
Ford’s lineup continues to deliver exceptional value by combining competitive upfront pricing with low long-term costs. Key contributing factors include:
Low Depreciation Rates: Ford vehicles consistently retain their value, reducing ownership costs.
Fuel and Maintenance Savings: Efficient powertrains and streamlined maintenance schedules keep expenses low.
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.
Category | Winning Model | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|
Minivan | Chrysler Voyager | Ownership costs over $1,673 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 4 competitor models. |
Small Commercial Passenger Van | Ram ProMaster City | Ownership costs over $2,490 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 2 competitor models. |
Small Commercial Cargo Van | Ram ProMaster City | Ownership costs over $2,083 lower than nearest competitor; Outperformed 2 competitor models. |
