Commercial Q&A
1. Why is Lakeland Ford the top destination for commercial vehicle needs in Central Florida?
Lakeland Ford isn't just a dealership, it's a full-scale commercial vehicle command center. Located in the heart of Central Florida, our commercial division is designed to meet the daily grind of plumbers, contractors, electricians, landscapers, and fleet managers across multiple industries. We stock work-ready Ford Super Duty trucks, Transit Vans, Chassis Cabs, and more—all backed by the nationwide strength of the Ford brand. Whether you're outfitting one truck or 50, we help businesses stay productive with ready inventory and quick upfit solutions, right from Lakeland.
2. What sets Lakeland Ford apart when it comes to commercial vehicle customization?
Most dealers sell you a van or a truck. We build you a tool on wheels. Lakeland Ford specializes in purpose-built upfitting with trusted partners to transform your vehicle into exactly what your job requires—KUV bodies, shelving systems, ladder racks, refrigeration units, fuel lube bodies, and more. Our team collaborates with you from day one to ensure the specs match your trade, timeline, and workflow. Whether you run HVAC routes in Lakeland or construction sites across the Southeast, we outfit your vehicle for success.
3. How does Lakeland Ford support commercial buyers after the sale?
We know the sale is just the start. That’s why every Lakeland Ford commercial customer gets access to dedicated Commercial Account Managers who know your name, your fleet, and your business. You’ll get priority service scheduling, parts support, mobile maintenance options, and vehicle tracking through Ford Pro Telematics. Plus, our certified Ford techs keep your commercial vehicles running without cutting into your bottom line. Our mission is to keep your fleet moving and your downtime minimal.
4. Does Lakeland Ford offer financing tailored to businesses and fleets?
Yes—our Commercial Finance Center works exclusively with businesses to secure flexible terms that make sense for real-world operations. From commercial lines of credit to TRAC leases and government programs, we structure financing based on how your business runs—not a cookie-cutter formula. Whether you're a startup needing a single Transit Connect or a national contractor building a 30-vehicle fleet, we’ll find the financing or lease structure that lets you grow without cashflow hiccups.
5. Can Lakeland Ford deliver fleet vehicles outside of Florida?
Absolutely—we ship nationwide. Our commercial clients span coast to coast, and we coordinate transportation, registration, and delivery from our Lakeland lot straight to your job site. We’ve delivered fleet units to businesses in Georgia, Texas, the Carolinas, and beyond. Whether you're a Florida-based business expanding outward or a national account centralizing your orders, Lakeland Ford makes cross-state logistics seamless. Out of state? No problem—we handle everything.
6. How does Ford Pro technology benefit Lakeland Ford commercial customers?
When you partner with Lakeland Ford, you also plug into the power of Ford Pro. That means smarter fleet management with access to cutting-edge solutions like Ford Pro Telematics, electric vehicle integration, real-time diagnostics, driver behavior tracking, and fleet health reporting—all accessible in one dashboard. With Ford Pro, your business doesn't just drive forward—it thinks ahead. From local contractors to nationwide fleets, our customers use Ford Pro to reduce fuel waste, schedule predictive maintenance, and monitor productivity 24/7.
7. What commercial incentives or benefits can customers expect at Lakeland Ford?
We work hand-in-hand with Ford Pro to bring every available commercial incentive to the table—fleet rebates, volume discounts, loyalty offers, and even EV tax credits where eligible. For small business owners, our team also helps identify Section 179 tax deductions and municipal fleet programs. If there’s a benefit available for your business or fleet size, you can bet we’re going to help you find it and apply it. It’s one more reason commercial buyers from Orlando to Ocala keep coming back to Lakeland Ford.
8. Why do commercial clients trust Lakeland Ford for the long haul?
Simple—because we’ve earned it. Lakeland Ford has been recognized with the Ford President’s Award for six years in a row, an honor given only to dealers who lead in customer satisfaction, sales performance, and service excellence. Commercial clients stick with us because we’re not just transactional—we’re relationship-driven. From small family-owned shops to large utility companies, our partners know they’ll get honest advice, fast turnaround, and support that goes the extra mile.
