Are you among the drivers in the United States who consider summer the perfect time to buy a vehicle? With recent economic developments and tariffs impacting prices everywhere, you may be wondering if now is a good time to grab your next ride.

Purchasing a new car is no small investment, especially in today's economy. Lucky for consumers, one major manufacturer is here to provide some much-needed relief on a variety of vehicles.

Ford is offering special discounted prices to customers everywhere, and checking out this deal could be a smart money move for drivers.

What is the employee pricing deal?

With Ford's extended employee pricing, all customers can take advantage of the deals usually only offered to employees. In other words, car buyers pay employee prices when they purchase Ford vehicles. As part of the company's "A-Plan Pricing," prices could be lower than a dealership's invoice price.

In addition, Ford's Power Promise is also available to consumers. That program gives retail customers who buy an electric vehicle a complimentary home charger and standard installation.

When does it expire?

Anyone who buys a Ford vehicle through July 6 can qualify for the "From America, For America" program. That means you can snag employee pricing through the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

This is an extension of the original announcement of the pricing program back in April, when the discounts were planned to end on June 2. In a statement, Ford noted the program has proven popular with customers and dealers since it started, and has "delivered double-digit sales increases and strong expected share growth over the last month."

Which vehicles qualify?

The employee pricing plan includes many popular new 2024 and 2025 Ford and Lincoln vehicles. This includes the Mustang, Escape, Bronco, Bronco Sport, F-150, F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, Maverick, Ranger, Transit, E-Transit, Corsair, and Nautilus. In addition, the new 2024 Super Duty pickup models, Expedition, and Navigator, and the new 2025 Explorer and Aviator also qualify.

The offer is available on the purchase or lease of qualifying vehicles, and you'll need to place your new retail order or take new retail delivery from a Ford dealer or Lincoln Retailer's stock by July 7. The deal is available to U.S. residents only, and prior purchases are not eligible.
