Explore Ford’s Triple Zero year end incentive at Freeport Ford: zero percent APR for sixty months, zero down, and zero payments for ninety days. Learn why this extremely rare offer is one of Ford’s strongest of the decade. The Deal Everyone’s Talking About: Zero. Zero. Zero. Ford has unleashed one of the biggest year end incentives we have seen in years, and it has quickly become the talk of the Midwest. It is called the Triple Zero Deal, and it includes: • Zero percent APR for sixty months • Zero down payment available for qualified buyers • Zero payments for the first ninety days Translated: you can take home a new 2025 Ford with no interest, no upfront cash, and no payments until months into the new year. For anyone who has been waiting for the right moment… this is absolutely it. Why This Deal Is So Epic (And So Rare) Ford does not combine all three incentives often. You might see zero percent APR occasionally. You might see deferred payments once in a while. But putting zero APR, zero down, and zero payments together? That is a unicorn. This offer: • Saves buyers thousands by eliminating interest • Softens the holiday budget by delaying the first payment • Makes brand new models more affordable than many used options • Creates stable, predictable long term payments • Reduces upfront cost to nearly nothing It is an extremely strong combination — and it is only available through January fifth two thousand twenty six. Which Vehicles Are Included? (The Fun Part) Customers always want to know what can I buy with this deal? While Ford excludes a specific list of specialty models in the official rules, plenty of popular, family friendly, everyday vehicles ARE included, depending on current availability. These are the ones Freeport Ford shoppers get most excited about: Ford F 150 (non Raptor trims) The most popular truck in America becomes even more budget friendly when you pair zero percent APR with zero down. Ford Explorer A perfect choice for families, commuters, and winter driving — and one of the most frequently financed models under national incentives. Ford Escape A top choice for shoppers looking for excellent fuel efficiency and manageable monthly payments. Ford Mustang Mach E Select trims may qualify, making it one of the most affordable ways to jump into an EV with instant torque and zero gas. F 150 Lightning Depending on regional inventory, this can create massive long term savings when paired with national electric incentives. Other select two thousand twenty five Ford models Availability changes daily, but year end inventory typically offers several sedans, crossovers, and SUVs under the program. If someone is not sure whether the exact model they want qualifies, your sales team can pull it up by VIN in seconds — no guessing. Why Buying Now Matters This deal is a rare financial advantage, but timing is everything. Here is why year end Ford incentives hit harder: • Inventory is at its strongest before January allocations shift • Trade in values are higher before winter mileage racks up • Zero percent APR may not return for many trims next quarter • Payments delayed until next year frees up holiday budgets • Interest savings are worth thousands over the life of a loan And once word spreads, these Triple Zero deals move units fast — especially F 150 and Explorer models. The Official Fine Print (Straight From Ford, Extremely Important) Not all buyers will qualify for Ford Credit APR financing. Sixty months at sixteen dollars and sixty seven cents per month per one thousand dollars financed, regardless of down payment. Take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford Dealer’s stock by January fifth two thousand twenty six. See dealer for qualifications, and details. Customer can defer first payment up to ninety days. Not all buyers will qualify for Ford Credit limited term financing. Sixty months at sixteen dollars and sixty seven cents per month per one thousand dollars financed, regardless of down payment. Deferred first payment not allowed in Pennsylvania on APR higher than zero percent. For APRs other than zero percent, finance charges continue to accrue during deferral period. All offers exclude Bronco, Bronco Sport, Expedition, Mustang, Mustang Dark Horse, Mustang GTD, F one fifty Raptor, Ranger, Ranger Raptor, Maverick, Ford GT, Bronco Raptor, Bronco Stroppe, E Transit and Transit. For all offers, take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford Dealer’s stock by January fifth two thousand twenty six. See dealer for qualifications and complete details. Why Freeport Ford Makes This Deal Even Better A national incentive is only as good as the dealership offering it. At Freeport Ford: • We honor Ford’s national pricing as written • We show payment options upfront • We skip the pressure and the games • We keep the finance process transparent and simple • We help customers understand exactly what they’re signing • We walk through loan terms so nobody ends up confused or upside down When Ford brings a rare deal to the table, we make sure our customers get every bit of value out of it. Ready to Take Advantage of the Triple Zero Deal? This offer ends on January fifth, and the most popular trims move quickly once shoppers realize how strong the savings are. If you are considering a new Ford, now is genuinely the best time of the year to make that move. Stop in, check availability, or schedule a no pressure test drive today.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the U.S. automotive market, recent developments present both challenges and unique opportunities for consumers. The Trump administration's implementation of significant tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts is poised to reshape car prices nationwide. However, at Freeport Ford, we're turning these challenges into opportunities for our customers. Here's why now is the optimal time to drive home in a new or used vehicle. Understanding the Impact of New Tariffs on Vehicle Prices On April 3, 2025, the Trump administration enacted a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles and certain auto parts, aiming to bolster domestic manufacturing and address trade imbalances. This policy shift has immediate and profound implications for vehicle pricing across the country.​ Projected Price Increases: Analysts predict that these tariffs could escalate vehicle prices by $2,000 to $4,000, potentially pushing the average new car transaction price to over $50,000. ​ Competitor Strategies: Chevy and Dodge Respond to Tariffs While Ford has embraced employee pricing to offer savings to customers during this challenging time, other manufacturers, like Chevrolet and Dodge, have responded quite differently—leading to concerns over rising prices and market positioning. Chevrolet 's Price Increases In response to the new tariffs, Chevrolet has significantly raised prices across many of their models, including some of their most popular vehicles. For example, the 2025 Chevy Silverado has seen price hikes of up to $4,500 depending on the trim level. While Chevrolet continues to push for high volume sales, these price increases are expected to alienate some potential buyers who are sensitive to cost, especially in a climate where tariffs are already driving prices up. Furthermore, Chevrolet's decision to limit the availability of certain popular trims for 2025, such as the Silverado's higher-end models, could leave many customers without the option they were hoping for. This is especially noticeable as competition in the full-size truck market intensifies, with other brands like Ford offering more competitive options at comparable prices. Dodge 's Response: Not Quite the Deal It Once Was Dodge has also implemented significant price hikes on their vehicles, particularly the 2025 Dodge Ram trucks. On average, prices have jumped by $3,000–$4,000 on many trims, with some heavy-duty models even seeing increases as high as $6,000. This price surge has prompted backlash from consumers who were once drawn to Dodge for their relatively more affordable pricing compared to other full-size truck competitors. In addition, Dodge has been criticized for scaling back the availability of some of their most in-demand models, like the Dodge Charger and Challenger, while pushing for more expensive performance-oriented trims. This pricing shift seems less customer-focused and more geared toward maximizing profits—further alienating buyers who once saw Dodge as an affordable, performance-oriented option. The Ford Difference Unlike Chevrolet and Dodge, Ford is taking a more customer-focused approach by extending its employee pricing to all U.S. buyers, including many of its 2024 and 2025 models. This move allows consumers to purchase a vehicle at a lower cost than traditional retail pricing, positioning Ford as a more accessible choice, particularly in the face of rising tariffs. By keeping their pricing structure more in line with what customers have come to expect, Ford is staying competitive without significantly increasing prices—making now the ideal time to buy before those price hikes hit. Why Acting Now Benefits You Given that vehicles currently on dealership lots, including ours at Freeport Ford, were acquired before the implementation of these tariffs, they are not subject to the new import taxes. This means you can purchase a vehicle at pre-tariff prices, securing substantial savings.​ Sales Trends: There's a noticeable uptick in consumer activity as buyers rush to make purchases before prices rise. For example, car dealerships in New York reported a 15% increase in sales as customers sought to beat the tariff-induced price hikes. ​ Ford's Employee Pricing: Exclusive Savings for All To further assist our customers, Ford has introduced the "From America, For America" initiative, extending employee pricing to all U.S. shoppers. This program allows customers to purchase vehicles at the same price Ford employees pay, which is typically below the dealer invoice price. The promotion runs from April 3 through June 2, 2025, covering most 2024 and 2025 Ford and Lincoln models, including gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and diesel variants. ​ Notable Exclusions: While many models are included, certain vehicles like the Ford Raptor, 2025 Expedition, Navigator, and Super Duty trucks are excluded from this offer. ​ Why Now Is the Time to Buy Pre-Tariff Inventory: Vehicles available at Freeport Ford were acquired before the new tariffs, ensuring you benefit from current pricing without the added costs that will affect incoming inventory.​ Employee Pricing Advantage: With Ford's employee pricing extended to all customers, you can enjoy significant discounts on a wide range of models, enhancing the value of your purchase.​ Market Dynamics: As demand surges and tariffs take full effect, prices are expected to rise. Purchasing now allows you to avoid these increases and secure a favorable deal.​ Looking Ahead The automotive market is navigating uncharted territory with these new tariffs influencing both pricing and availability. By acting now, you position yourself to take advantage of current pricing structures and Ford's exceptional employee pricing offer.​ Visit Freeport Ford Today At Freeport Ford, we are committed to providing our customers with the best value and service. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through our current inventory, help you understand the benefits of the employee pricing program, and assist you in making an informed decision tailored to your needs.​ Disclaimer: Vehicle availability and pricing are subject to change. It's advisable to contact Freeport Ford for the most current information and to confirm vehicle eligibility under Ford's employee pricing program.

In today’s global economy, tariffs are a reality that can impact almost every industry—including the car industry. At Freeport Ford, we understand that these economic shifts can make car buying seem complicated, which is why we want to explain how recent tariffs are affecting vehicle prices and what Ford is doing to help. What Are Tariffs? A tariff is essentially a tax imposed on imported goods. The U.S. government has placed tariffs on many imported vehicles, which means that manufacturers who bring vehicles from outside of the country are faced with higher costs. These costs are typically passed on to consumers, meaning vehicle prices can increase as a result. The current tariffs, particularly those on imported vehicles, have impacted the overall price of cars, including trucks, SUVs, and sedans. The automotive industry relies on a global supply chain, and these tariffs make it more expensive to import vehicles and components. As a result, consumers may see price hikes on vehicles that are built overseas or use parts sourced from other countries. How Do Tariffs Affect the Car Industry? Tariffs can create several challenges for car manufacturers. Here’s what they mean for the car industry: Higher Vehicle Prices: As mentioned, the main impact of tariffs on the car industry is the increase in vehicle prices. Importing vehicles from other countries becomes more expensive, and manufacturers pass these costs onto customers. Reduced Availability: With tariffs making imported vehicles pricier, car manufacturers may scale back the number of imported vehicles they bring into the U.S. market. This can lead to reduced availability of certain models, especially those that rely on international production. Shifts in Production: To combat these price hikes, many companies may shift production to plants located in the U.S. However, this shift can take time and doesn’t always mitigate the immediate cost increases. Ford’s Response to Tariffs: Employee Pricing for Everyone At Freeport Ford, we understand how frustrating it can be when prices increase due to circumstances beyond your control. But Ford is here to help. In response to the recent tariffs on imported vehicles, Ford has announced a special Employee Pricing for EVERYONE on select 2024 and 2025 Ford models. This means you can pay what Ford employees pay, and that’s a price that’s much lower than the typical market price for these vehicles. It’s Ford’s way of standing with its customers and offering relief during tough economic times. Ford has also committed to BUILT in America —and they’re sticking to that promise. By focusing on manufacturing vehicles domestically, Ford has been able to keep their pricing competitive, even in the face of these global challenges. The Ford Advantage: A Tariff-Free Inventory Here at Freeport Ford, we have a huge selection of tariff-free vehicles for you to choose from.

When it comes to off-roading, enthusiasts know that the vehicle you choose can make or break the experience. Whether you're tackling rugged trails, conquering rocky mountains, or cruising through desert landscapes, you need a vehicle that offers both power and precision. The Ford Bronco Raptor is that vehicle. The Bronco Raptor: A Beast Born for Adventure The Ford Bronco Raptor takes everything you loved about the classic Bronco and amplifies it with next-level off-road capabilities, all while maintaining a smooth and comfortable ride. Packed with advanced technology, powerful engine options, and a refined suspension system, this off-road beast is engineered for extreme adventure seekers. Engine Power and Performance The heart of the Bronco Raptor is its 3.0L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine. This powerhouse produces an impressive 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you have all the muscle you need to tackle any terrain. Whether you’re climbing steep inclines, crossing rocky rivers, or navigating sand dunes, the Bronco Raptor’s engine delivers exceptional performance. Off-Road Capabilities Built for serious off-road enthusiasts, the Bronco Raptor features a state-of-the-art 4WD system, paired with a TORSEN® front differential that enhances traction on challenging surfaces. Add in the Bronco Raptor’s 37-inch all-terrain tires, and you’re equipped to take on the most rugged trails with ease. The high-clearance suspension, developed specifically for the Raptor, includes FOX Live Valve shocks that adapt to the terrain, providing improved dampening and control whether you're flying over desert terrain or crawling over rocks. With a class-leading ground clearance of 13.1 inches, the Bronco Raptor ensures that you won't be held back by obstacles in your path. Interior Comfort & Ride Smoothness While the Bronco Raptor is designed for off-road dominance, Ford hasn’t skimped on comfort. Inside, you’ll find a driver-focused cockpit with Recaro® sport seats that provide excellent support during your adventures. Plus, with features like a digital instrument cluster and SYNC® 4 technology, you’re able to stay connected and informed while you’re off the beaten path. One of the standout features of the Bronco Raptor is its ride quality.

Whether you're driving over rocky trails or tackling uneven dirt paths, the Bronco Raptor’s ride remains impressively composed, offering a balance of performance and comfort that no other off-roader can match. Jeep Comparison: Raptor vs. Wrangler While the Jeep Wrangler has long been a staple of the off-roading world, when it comes to raw power and performance, the Bronco Raptor leaves it in the dust. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, while a capable off-roader, simply doesn’t offer the same level of refinement or performance. The Bronco Raptor’s advanced suspension system, higher ground clearance, and superior engine output make it the better choice for serious off-road enthusiasts. While the Jeep Wrangler is a rugged vehicle, the Bronco Raptor is engineered with next-gen technology and design, offering a far superior off-road experience, smoother ride, and overall driving pleasure. Its combination of performance and comfort make it the ultimate off-road machine. Why the Bronco Raptor is the King of the Trail The Ford Bronco Raptor isn’t just another off-road vehicle.
