Being a veteran Ford dealership, we’ve seen plenty of economic upturns, downturns, and even a couple of wrong turns. Through it all, we know that a dependable, reliable Ford is always a wise investment. And with plenty of affordable models on the lot, slipping in behind the wheel of a brand-new Ford is easier than you might think. Here are a few excellent models priced to go for under $40,000.
1. The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line
The 2025 Escape is one of the most beloved Ford SUVs. The ST-Line trim features either an EcoBoost turbocharged motor or a hybrid engine to maximize fuel economy, and all-wheel drive is available for those whose family adventures include a departure from the beaten path. There’s plenty of room in both rows and an impressive amount of cargo space under the hatch, so everyone can bring their bags and other belongings along.
2. The 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend
The Bronco Sport features standard 4×4, 5 G.O.A.T. terrain modes to Go Over Any Type of Terrain, and an impressive 13.2-inch touchscreen. It’s an SUV meant to escape the ordinary and transport its passengers into a world of adventure. A beefy motor makes conquering almost any terrain all but inevitable, and a full safety suite means feeling extra confident on the road.
3. The 2025 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Fastback
With 315 horsepower at your command and a 10-speed automatic transmission to find the perfect gear, the Mustang EcoBoost Fastback may just be the perfect pony car. Its standard 12.4-inch driver information display and 13.2-inch touchscreen are united under a single piece of glass and feature graphics powered by the Unreal Engine. And with the Remote Rev feature, you can show off the roar of the turbocharged EcoBoost motor without climbing in.
4. The 2025 Ford F-150 XL
The Ford F-series has been the best-selling truck on in America for decades, and it’s all been leading up to this. The 2025 F-150 XL’s 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 delivers 325 horsepower, 400 lb-ft of torque, and the ability to get the job done. And with over 7,000 pounds of towing capability and standard Class IV trailer hitch, it’s the perfect truck to haul your boat, camper, horse trailer, or supply trailer. It even features a 5G modem to keep the work site connected.
