May 20, 2026

Unlocking Ford Employee Pricing for the Tri-State Community

Ford is celebrating the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States with a significant gesture of gratitude toward the drivers who keep the country moving. Through the “American Value for American Values” program, our team is proud to offer A-Plan employee pricing to the general public on a wide selection of new 2025 and 2026 models. This initiative removes the traditional hurdles of negotiation and complex rebate hunting, providing a straightforward, transparent price that was previously reserved only for Ford Motor Company employees and their families.

For residents across the region, this event represents a rare opportunity to secure a new vehicle at a price point at or near the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. Whether you are navigating the suburban streets of Calcutta or managing a local business, the savings are immediate and substantial. We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we have streamlined the process. You can browse our selection and see the exact employee price without the need for a personal identification number (PIN) or special eligibility codes during this limited-time event.

To make the experience even more convenient for our busy neighbors, we offer several personalized services. If you cannot make it to our showroom, you can take advantage of Ford Pick Up & Delivery for a seamless experience or utilize our Ford Mobile Service capabilities for certain needs. For those ready to see these vehicles in person, our East Liverpool location is easily accessible for a test drive. If you have specific questions about which models qualify, feel free to give our staff a quick call at (330) 462-7578. As your trusted local Ford dealer, we are here to ensure you find the right vehicle for your lifestyle and budget.

Maximizing Value with A-Plan Savings on the 2026 F-150 and Super Duty

The 2026 Ford F-150 remains the backbone of the American workforce, and under the current employee pricing event, the value proposition is stronger than ever. The A-Plan price is calculated using a formula that subtracts the dealer holdback and advertising assessment from the dealer invoice, then adds a small administration fee. This often results in savings that reach into the thousands, particularly on well-equipped trucks. For example, the 2026 Ford F-150 XL starts at $49,116, while the STX is listed at $51,983. For specialized needs, the Police Responder trim carries an MSRP of $56,475.

Lowest starting MSRP: XL at $49,116

Moving up the lineup, the XLT starts at $65,271, and the luxury-oriented Lariat is priced at $74,568. For those seeking off-road capability or premium comfort, the Tremor starts at $74,652, the King Ranch at $79,568, and the Platinum at $85,358. Even the high-performance Raptor is part of the lineup at $85,137. These figures represent the starting MSRP; actual pricing may vary based on eligibility and options. Please contact Tri State Ford for current pricing details., making these capable machines more accessible for local contractors and families alike.

For heavy-duty requirements, the 2026 Ford Super Duty offers extreme towing and hauling capabilities. The Super Duty F-250 XL features a 6.8L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas engine and a TorqShift-G 10-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission. This truck is engineered for durability, handling riverfront bluffs and steep grades with ease. If you are managing a fleet or a job site, you can explore our F-Series work truck inventory to find the exact configuration you need. Before you visit, our finance department can help you understand how these discounts affect your monthly payment, and you can even value your current trade-in online to see how much equity you can put toward your new purchase.

Affordable Versatility with the Maverick and Explorer Employee Incentives

If your daily routine involves a mix of suburban errands and weekend DIY projects, the 2026 Ford Maverick is a standout choice. This compact pickup is designed for efficiency and practicality, featuring a 2.5L I4 engine and an automatic transmission that delivers an impressive 40 mpg city / 34 hwy. The XL trim starts at $30,835, while the XLT is priced at $35,538. For those who prefer a more street-tuned aesthetic, the Lobo Standard features a 2.0L I4 and starts at $37,990. Under the employee pricing program, these already affordable trucks become even more enticing for first-time buyers and those looking to downsize without sacrificing utility.

The Ford Explorer also benefits from these incentives, providing a spacious and safe environment for families. With seating for up to seven and advanced safety features, it is a reliable companion for school runs and road trips. When comparing the Explorer to rivals like the Toyota Highlander, the Ford often provides a more robust towing capacity and user-friendly technology at a competitive price point, especially when the American Value discounts are applied. We find that families often prioritize the Explorer’s cargo flexibility when they see how easily the rear seats fold to accommodate sports gear or groceries.

To help you get started on your purchase, you can complete a secure credit application from the comfort of home. This allows our team to have your options ready when you arrive. If you are considering a pre-owned option instead, we invite you to shop our Carfax 1-owner vehicles to find a high-quality, well-maintained SUV or truck. Additionally, be sure to check our monthly manufacturer specials to see if there are further incentives that can be paired with your purchase to maximize your savings.

Understanding the Math Behind the American Value Program and Final Deadlines

The “American Value for American Values” program is a limited-time event, scheduled to conclude on July 6, 2026. This gives buyers a specific window to take advantage of internal company pricing that is typically not available to the public. The math is straightforward: by paying the A-Plan price, you are essentially bypassing the retail markup. On a high-trim vehicle like an Expedition or a Super Duty, these savings can be significant, often ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the specific model and equipment groups selected.

One common question we hear from shoppers involves the impact of taxes and fees. It is important to note that while the employee pricing significantly lowers the base price of the vehicle, standard state taxes, title fees, and license charges still apply based on your residency. However, because the purchase price is lower, the total tax amount is often reduced as well. This transparency is a core part of our commitment to an honest and respectful buying experience. We want you to feel confident that the price you see is the price you pay, with no hidden surprises.

If you have a vehicle to trade, you can use our instant cash offer tool to get a real-time valuation. This can be a great way to further lower the net cost of your new Ford. For those looking to keep their current vehicle in top shape before trading it in, you can order new tires by year, make, and model through our site. Once you have done your research, the best next step is to schedule a test drive to experience the performance and technology of these new models for yourself.

EV Incentives and Tax Credit Eligibility for the F-150 Lightning

In addition to the A-Plan savings, the Lightning may qualify for the federal EV tax credit of up to $7,500 for new vehicles, depending on the specific MSRP and household income requirements. This combination of manufacturer discounts and federal incentives makes transitioning to an electric truck more affordable than ever. The Lightning features a standard 4WD system and provides a smooth, quiet ride that is perfect for the varied terrain of the tri-state area.

Local owners should be aware of how our cold-winter climate affects EV performance. During the coldest days, it is typical to see a range loss of between 15% and 30%. To mitigate this, we recommend utilizing EV preconditioning while the vehicle is still plugged in and garaging the vehicle when possible. Ford’s Power Promise also includes a complimentary home charger and standard installation, which addresses one of the most common hurdles for first-time EV owners. This program also provides an 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty for long-term protection.

You can find more details on these electric models by checking our manufacturer vehicle specials. If you are looking for a deal on a pre-owned electric or hybrid model, browse our used vehicle specials for current offers. We are committed to helping you understand the total value of ownership, including charging costs and tax benefits. Visit us during our regular hours and directions to speak with an EV specialist who can walk you through the specifics of the Lightning’s performance and charging requirements.
