The Ford F-250 Super Duty, a crucial part of the best-selling F-Series lineup, has claimed the 2024 Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Award, continuing its legacy of offering significant value in fleet operations. This accolade highlights the model’s low ownership costs and its appeal among professionals in the fleet industry.
Unmatched Fleet Value
The F-250 model, particularly the XL regular cab with two-wheel drive, stood out in the full-size 3/4 ton pickup segment. Dominating 19 out of 28 lifestyle cost scenarios, the truck boasts the lowest insurance costs in its class. Impressively, it surpassed 167 competitor trims, securing its position as a top choice for fleet operators.
Comprehensive Cost Analysis
The evaluation by Vincentric involved an extensive cost of ownership analysis, assessing over 3,000 vehicle configurations tailored for typical fleet usage. This analysis considered eight critical cost factors, including depreciation, fees, taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. The vehicles were reviewed across all 50 states plus Washington D.C. under 28 different lifecycle scenarios. The Ford F-250 emerged as the leader by demonstrating the lowest fleet lifecycle cost in the most scenarios within its category.
A Tradition of Excellence
David Wurster, President of Vincentric, emphasized the long-standing relevance of these awards. For nearly two decades, the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards have served as a reliable resource for fleet professionals. By focusing on data-driven insights and current market conditions, these awards assist OEMs, fleet management companies, and operators in making informed decisions that optimize cost management.
Ford's Winning Streak
In addition to the F-250’s success, other models from Ford also received recognition. The Ford F-150 Lightning Pro excelled in the full-size half-ton pickup segment, while the Ford Maverick XL led the small truck segment, further showcasing Ford’s comprehensive expertise in producing value-driven vehicles for diverse fleet needs.
