2025 Ford Deals Antioch IL: Last Call for Models You Can’t Miss

Published on Oct 9, 2025 by Cassie Gould

Why the best prices hit now

  • Incoming 2026s need the floor space.
  • Aging inventory = stronger discounts.
  • Stackable offers (factory + dealer + trade-in) bring the payment down.
  • Limited combos: your exact color/trim might be down to one or two units—speed wins.

Antioch Hot Picks

F-150 (2025)

Why: America’s do-everything truck, and a standout in our extensive inventory of Ford trucks.
Sweet spots: 4×4 XLT/Lariat with Tow/Bedliner already installed—great payment-to-capability ratio. The F-150 is especially popular among business customers for its reliability and suitability for business and fleet needs.
Winter vibe: Remote start + heated bits + Snow/Ice drive mode = calm mornings.

Bronco Sport (2025)

Why: Compact adventure rig that still parallel parks downtown.
Sweet spots: Big Bend/Outer Banks; look for Cold Weather + Convenience packages.

Explorer (2025)

Why: Three-row family hauler that cruises I-94 like a champ.
Sweet spots: XLT/Timberline with AWD and driver-assist bundles.

Maverick (2025)

Why: Parking-lot-friendly truck with hybrid thrift or EcoBoost punch.
Sweet spots: XLT with Tow or FX4; Lariat if you want premium.

Ranger (2025)

Why: Midsize muscle for weekend toys and tight trails.
Sweet spots: XLT/FX4 or Lariat; pre-installed tow gear saves $$.

Escape (2025)*

Why: Easy daily driver; Hybrid trims sip fuel.
Sweet spots: Active/ ST-Line with driver aids.
*If inventory is thin, ask about near-new CPO as a back-up.

Expedition (2025)

Why: Big crew, big cargo, big road trips.
Sweet spots: Limited with Heavy-Duty Tow; captain’s chairs = parent sanity.

How to Stack Savings

Kunes Ford, based in Antioch, IL, is your trusted source for 2025 Ford deals, incentives, and vehicles.

  1. Start with the sale price on the specific VIN.
  2. Apply factory incentives (rebates/loyalty/lease cash).
  3. Add the dealer discount (changeover bonus).
  4. Subtract trade-in value (clean car + two fobs + records = money).
  5. Compare low-APR vs bigger rebate—pick the lower total cost, not just the lowest monthly.
  6. Ask for the out-the-door number (tax/fees included) so you can compare apples to apples.

Trade-In Power Moves

  • Quick wash/vacuum, clean glass, replace dead bulbs/wipers—these are simple things you can do to boost your trade-in value.
  • Bring both keys, service records, and payoff info.
  • Get a written offer—let your preferred store match or beat it.
  • Minor dings? Be honest. Dealers recondition cheaper than retail, which often helps your number.

Lease vs Buy

  • Lease: lower monthly, mileage limits, newest tech every ~3 years.
  • Buy/Finance: higher payment now, ownership later, unlimited miles.
  • Run both quotes—on end-of-year cars, either path can win depending on incentives.

Feature Checklist

  • AWD/4×4 (or plan for true winter tires)
  • Heated seats/steering + remote start
  • Blind-spot + rear cross-traffic alert
  • Power/Hands-free liftgate (SUVs)
  • Tow package (future you will thank you)
  • Two key fobs & all floor mats included

10-Minute Test-Drive Route

  1. Neighborhood bumps → rattle/ride check.
  2. On-ramp to IL-173/IL-59 → smooth merge & shift quality.
  3. 65–70 mph cruise → wind/tire noise; try adaptive cruise/lane-keep.
  4. Tight parking practice → camera clarity + turning radius.
  5. Brake from ~40 mph → straight, drama-free stop.

Quick FAQs

Are these the lowest prices of the year?

Often for remaining 2025s, yes—especially as 2026s roll in.

What if I’m picky on color?

Lock the trim & packages first. If color is non-negotiable, act fast or widen your radius.

Is CPO smarter than a discounted new 2025?

If a CPO you love is thousands less, maybe. But new with rebates + full warranty can be the long-term value play.

Can I hold a vehicle?

Usually with a small, refundable deposit—ask the store for specifics.
