Borgman Ford Commercial would like to proudly announce that TrueCar has awarded the 2014 Ford F-150, Ford Edge, and Ford Transit Connect with the highest retained value in their class. This is truly a testament to the build quality, engineering, and dependability of Ford vehicles, and Ford Trucks take the lead in pre-owned value after this recognition. It’s also of note that last year, the highly sought-after Ford Transit Connect played a crucial role in making Ford Commercial Vans the best-selling brand in the US.
In an article published in the Ford Motor Company Media Center, you can read more about the three Ford Vehicles, as well as the process by which TrueCar’s analytics division selects their award recipients.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
The 2014 Ford F-150, Edge and Transit Connect will retain the highest percentage of their value as they enter the market for resale in 2016, according to TrueCar, which has recognized the three vehicles with its inaugural Pre-Owned Value Awards, making Ford the leader in truck segments.
The new awards, powered by ALG, TrueCar’s analytics division, evaluate pre-owned model-year 2014 vehicles available for resale in 2016 that are expected to retain the highest percentage of their value during the next three years.
The 2014 F-150 won the full-size pickup category in the 2016 Pre-Owned Value Awards. The 2016 F-150 – the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever – has helped make Ford F-Series the best-selling truck in America for 39 years running, and America’s top-selling vehicle for 34 consecutive years. Ford has the most F-Series trucks on the road with more than 250,000 miles compared with any other competitor.
TrueCar Pre-Owned Value Award winners are determined through careful analysis of used vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness. Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have vehicle entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line.
