AXZ Plan Eligibility & New Vehicle Purchase Programs

Ford A-Plan & Z-Plan Pricing

Ford A-Plan and Z-Plan pricing are available to eligible shoppers as defined by Ford Motor Company. A-Plan pricing is generally designed for eligible current Ford employees, while Z-Plan pricing is generally designed for eligible Ford retirees and qualifying surviving spouses.

Depending on Ford’s current program rules, eligible participants may be able to sponsor qualifying family or household members. Ford determines who qualifies, how many PINs may be generated, what documentation is required, and which vehicles are eligible. A valid Ford-issued PIN and proper documentation are typically required to complete a purchase through A-Plan or Z-Plan pricing.

From everyday commuters and family SUVs to trucks, commercial vans, and Ford Pro options, our team is ready to help you find the right Ford for your needs.
