One of the major factors that go into many of our decisions when it comes to purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle has to do with how we perceive the long term value of the car or truck we’re looking into buying. Of course no one wants pay through the nose up front, but we also don’t want to save in the short term only to be relentlessly nickle-and-dimed for  years to come.

If you’re looking for a heavy duty truck or cargo van for your business, you’re probably especially committed to making sure your long-term investment worthwhile. Today we’ve got some good news at Holiday Ford, which is that two of our models, the 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty truck and the 2015 Ford Transit Connect have been recognized among Edmunds Best Retained Value Award winners. 

The 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty has a calculated average retained value of 58.5% after five years. Other highlights of the model include a maximum fifth-wheel/gooseneck towing capacity of 26,700 pounds (up from 23,200 on the previous version of the same model), and a gross combined weight rating of up to 35,000 pounds. It’s also got a standard rear-view camera, reverse sensing system, steering wheel audio controls, and many more great features both standard and available.

The 2015 Ford Transit Connect, rather at 47% retained value after five years, was also named ALG’s Best Resale Value vehicle among midsize commercial vans, as well as Vincentric’s Best Fleet Value in America in their Mini Passenger Commercial Van category earlier this year.

The 2015 Transit Connect has two engine options — a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that comes standard or a 1.6-liter EcoBoost which offers both a best-in-class EPA rating of 30 highway mpg, but also serves up more horsepower and torque than the base engine thanks to sophisticated EcoBoost technology.
