What Makes a Ford "Gold Certified"? Your Canadian Guide
Buying a used vehicle does not have to mean giving up on quality. Ford Gold Certified vehicles offer the next best thing to brand new, without the new-car price. These vehicles meet higher standards with deep inspections, warranty coverage and expert-backed service designed for Canadian drivers.
The Gold Standard: What It Means
Not every used Ford qualifies. To be Gold Certified, a vehicle must be under six years old with fewer than 120,000 kilometres. It then passes a detailed 172-point inspection. Mechanical systems, interior features and exterior details are checked, tested and verified by Ford-trained technicians. Items that do not meet standards are repaired or replaced with genuine OEM parts.
Warranty Coverage That Works for You
Gold Certified vehicles include a 12-month or 20,000 km comprehensive limited warranty covering key components such as the engine, transmission, brakes, electrical and climate control. In addition, the powertrain is backed by a 7-year or 160,000 km limited warranty from the original in-service date, helping reduce long-term ownership costs.
Reliable Roadside Help, Day or Night
Every Certified vehicle includes 24/7 roadside assistance for the length of the powertrain warranty. Ford Aid Services can include towing to the nearest Ford dealer, battery boosts, tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance and rental benefits for covered repairs.
Vehicle History You Can Trust
Each Gold Certified Ford comes with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report. You see accident history, registration details, service records and prior ownership before you buy, adding clarity and confidence to your choice.
SiriusXM and Other Perks
Every Certified vehicle includes a three-month SiriusXM trial for entertainment on the road. Eligible vehicles may also qualify for Ford Credit financing options with competitive rates and flexible terms tailored to certified purchases.
High Quality with More Options
Gold Certified covers a wide selection of Ford models. Whether you want a capable F-150, a family-ready Explorer or an efficient Escape, you can find newer designs, lower mileage and modern features, all reconditioned to strict guidelines.
Claim Limits That Protect You
Comprehensive coverage includes protection up to the vehicle’s actual cash value on eligible claims. This structure helps safeguard you from costly surprises and supports real-world repair scenarios.
Why It Is Worth It
Choosing Ford Gold Certified is a smarter way to buy used. You get thorough inspections, robust warranties, roadside support, transparent history and dealer-backed service. It is confidence, value and convenience in one package.
