(CVBN: Chico, CA) — During Ford Pro’s Fleet Preview event, President Alicia Boler Davis announced a major expansion of the brand’s commercial warranty program. Starting with the 2027 model year, Ford Pro is extending its 5-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty to a broader range of vehicles. Of note for business owners and fleet managers is the addition of the Ranger, Maverick, and the all-electric E-Transit.
The initiative is targeted directly at lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) and mitigating unexpected repair costs for commercial fleet operators.
New Additions for the 2027 Model Year
The latest expansion bridges the gap for fleets utilizing smaller trucks, SUVs, and electric options. The new 2027 model year eligible vehicles include:
- Trucks & Vans: Ford Ranger, Ford Maverick, and E-Transit.
- SUVs & Passenger Vehicles: Ford Explorer, Expedition, Bronco (excluding Raptor), Bronco Sport, Mustang Mach-E, and Mustang (excluding GTD).
Program History: What Was Already Covered?
Ford Pro originally launched this dedicated commercial powertrain coverage program starting with the 2022 model year to protect its core heavy-duty work fleets. The 2027 additions join an existing lineup that already includes:
- F-150 (excluding Raptor and Lightning models)
- Super Duty (F-250 through F-600 pickups and chassis cabs)
- Transit (gas-powered cargo and passenger vans)
- E-Series (2023MY and newer) and F-53/F-59 Stripped Chassis
Fleet Rules & Resale Advantages
To qualify for the extended warranty coverage, commercial operations must have a valid Fleet Identification Number (FIN Code) and purchase the vehicles under a designated fleet sales type.
The Resale Factor: A unique component of this Ford Pro program is its complete transferability. If a fleet cycles out a vehicle and sells it before the 5-year or 100,000-mile threshold is met, the remaining powertrain warranty automatically transfers to the subsequent owner—even a non-fleet retail buyer. This provides a distinct advantage for secondary market value and lifecycle planning.
