Ford Pro is aiming to make owning a commercial truck or van more accessible and affordable to businesses and trades.
Ford Pro Advantage News Overview:
- What it is: Ford Pro Advantage is a new, industry-first manufacturer-backed certified pre-owned program for class 1-7 commercial vehicles, including chassis cabs and incomplete trucks and vans. It helps businesses find affordable, work-ready used commercial vehicles with added confidence and support. Available through more than 700 Ford Pro Commercial Vehicle Centers, the program offers certification options with up to 172-point inspections, warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and a money-back guarantee.
- Why it matters: Ford will host Accelerate this week to advance programs and conversations that support strengthening the Essential Economy. These are the 95 million jobs and 3 million businesses that equal $12 trillion of America’s GDP. We think of them as the beating heart of Ford Pro, they are the men and women we serve in the trades. With the launch of Ford Pro Advantage, we’re expanding our commitment as a trusted partner providing tools to help businesses grow.
- Why now: We’re launching Ford Pro Advantage at a time when small businesses and tradespeople are facing a real affordability squeeze from rising costs associated to fuel, inflation and other economic conditions. For plumbers, electricians, and other service providers, we know that work vehicles are a main source of income – we want to make trucks and vans more accessible and affordable to them.
- When does it launch: Nationwide on October 5 via Commercial Vehicle Centers or customers can visit FordBlueAdvantage.com for more information
