Ford Pro Secures Eight Vincentric Best Fleet Value Awards In 2024
In a significant acknowledgment of its commitment to quality and value, Ford Pro has emerged as the leading brand in the 19th annual Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards, securing eight awards. This achievement marks a notable milestone for Ford Pro, as it has garnered double the number of awards than any other competing brand. Tim Baughman, the general manager of Ford Pro North America, expressed pride in this recognition, highlighting it as a testament to Ford's dedication to delivering vehicles that not only meet the demands of their commercial customers but also contribute positively to business operations and environmental sustainability.
The awards spanned various segments, showcasing Ford Pro's diverse range of vehicles that cater to different needs within the commercial sector. The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro Supercrew 4WD clinched the Best Fleet Value in America title in the Full-Size 1/2-Ton Pickup segment for the ninth time. Similarly, the Ford F-250 XL Reg Cab 2WD and Ford F-350 XL Reg Cab 2WD SRW were recognized in their respective categories, underlining Ford's dominance in the pickup segment. The Ford T350 Vans XLT Low Roof RWD 148 and Ford T150 Vans Cargo Low Roof RWD 130 were also awarded, further solidifying Ford Pro's position in the van category. Notably, the Ford E-Transit 350 Base Cargo LR 130 WB continued its streak as the Best Fleet Value in America in the Full-Size 1-Ton Cargo Van segment for the third consecutive year, underscoring the growing importance of electric vehicles (EVs) in commercial fleets.
Ford Pro's sales trends reveal a strong customer loyalty, with forty percent of commercial customers being repeat buyers of the 24MY F-150 Lightning. Additionally, the E-Transit has achieved its best sales quarter ever, becoming America’s best-selling electric van. This success is indicative of the increasing shift towards sustainable transportation solutions in the commercial sector. The Transit model continues to prove its worth with more than 1.2 million units produced since April 2014 at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, and an impressive 99% of all Ford Transits sold over the past decade are still operational today.

This rigorous analysis ensures that the awards reflect vehicles that offer genuine value to commercial fleets.
