Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programs offer used car shoppers a welcome bridge between the lower cost of used cars and the product confidence in a new car. An extensive inspection program backed up by a manufacturer’s warranty is common among these programs. The manufacturer operates most CPO programs, and much of the actual legwork is done at the dealer level.  Outside the inspection and warranty, the programs vary by what other benefits they offer, which vehicles qualify as CPO vehicles, and other program details. Which CPO models have the greatest value is something that automotive industry data and analysis firm Vincentric has taken it upon themselves to discover. Benna Ford is proud to inform you that they like Ford’s CPO program and CPO models very much.

Vincentric is a privately held automotive data compilation and analysis firm that has made a name for itself in measuring vehicle cost of ownership using eight factors: depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs.  They have been judging the value of CPO programs and vehicles for 12 years.  For 2024, they voted on Ford Company as having the brand award for the Best CPO Value in America in the Truck and Van categories.  Individual Ford models earned Vincentric CPO awards in six additional categories.  It is also worth noting that in all cases, the brand and its models have earned this award multiple times.  Here is the complete list of Ford’s Vincentric Best CPO 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 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)

“Vehicle cost of ownership is important to our customers,” said Jim Baumbick, Vice President, Ford Product Development Operations and Quality. “Earning Vincentric’s CPO Value Awards for our trucks, vans, and SUVs is a testament to our engineers and their dedication to designing durable, cost-effective vehicles that help minimize operating costs to help hold their value over time.”

Ford’s dominance in these awards shouldn’t be surprising, as these are all areas where Ford excels. Ford has been America’s best-selling truck manufacturer and the best-seller in commercial vans and commercial vehicles for 39 consecutive years.
