Bloomfield Hill, MI — February 5, 2025
The 12th annual Vincentric Best Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Value in America™ Awards have been announced, with Ford claiming more awards than any other brand. Ford earned two brand-level awards, including Best CPO Value Truck Brand for the fifth time and Best CPO Value Van Brand for an outstanding ninth consecutive year. Ford also impressed with eight model-level awards across multiple categories.
“The Vincentric Best CPO Value in America Awards are designed to take the guesswork out of shopping for a certified pre-owned vehicle,” said Vincentric President David Wurster. “Many consumers choose the route of a CPO vehicle to save money on the initial purchase price while still having the peace of mind of a manufacturer warranty… Our awards can be used as a guideline to help consumers have confidence that their next vehicle purchase will deliver strong value, low ownership costs, or both.”
To determine the 2025 Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ Award winners, Vincentric conducted a statistical analysis to reveal which vehicles had lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price. Vincentric analyzed over 18,000 vehicle configurations using eight cost factors: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. The costs were measured after incorporating the specific CPO warranty offered by the manufacturer while also applying mileage requirements necessary to be authorized as an OEM CPO vehicle. Each CPO vehicle was evaluated in all 50 states plus Washington DC, with the assumption that each would be driven 15,000 miles annually over five years.
Ford’s impressive performance was led by its F-series pickups and Transit vans. Its F-series lineup took top honors in the Full-Size 1/2-Ton, 3/4-Ton, and 1-Ton Pickup segments. The F-150 Lightning was the star-performer, earning the F-150’s ninth overall win. In the Small/Mid-Size Pickup segment, the Maverick Hybrid came out on top for the second year in a row.
For vans, the Ford Transit Connect conquered both the Small Commercial Passenger Van and Small Commercial Cargo Van segments for the eighth and fifth consecutive years, respectively, while the E-Transit 350 won for Large Cargo Van. Ford’s final award winner was the Expedition with its fifth victory for Large SUV.
