The 18th annual Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America™ Awards were announced, with Ford earning an outstanding nine awards, more than any other automaker.

We are humbled to win so many awards. This is a testament to the Ford engineers' dedication to designing reliable, durable, cost-effective lineups of Built Ford Tough® trucks and vans.

Vincentric is an independent, privately held automotive data compilation and analysis firm. Using their proprietary Dynamic Cost to Own™ database, Vincentric comprehensively reviews vehicle cost of ownership using eight factors: depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost and repairs. They measure the overall cost of owning and operating vehicles and the impact on the value provided to owners.

Annually, Vincentric grants the Best Value Awards™ to vehicles in both the consumer and fleet markets. They evaluate each car in all 50 states plus DC using 28 different ownership/mileage scenarios. They identify winners by determining which vehicles had the lowest fleet lifecycle cost in most scenarios for their segment.

Ford took home the Passenger Car brand award this year due in no small part to an impressive seventh-time win for the Mustang.

2023 Truck Brand Award: Truck

For an impressive seventh time, Ford conquered the Truck brand award category. The F-150 Lightning, F-250, and F-350 propelled Ford to the top status.

The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid delivered a whopping 25.1% below expected ownership costs, with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership in its Class. The Escape outperformed 29 competitor models!

The Transit Connect cargo and passenger vans led the charge to win their segments for the sixth and seventh time, respectively. Ford’s Van winners were the T150 cargo, T250 cargo, T350 passenger, and the E-Transit 350 cargo.
