Ford Lease Deals June 2026: Every Model Ranked
Ford June 2026 lease programs: the Escape jumped from 5.30% to 7.39% APR and its cash was cut from $4,000 to $3,000, pushing the Active FWD from about $363 to $432/month. The Explorer holds 5.50% APR across all 11 trims and is now the clear best pick. The Mustang holds 3.50% APR (GT loses its $500 cash) and the Bronco Sport holds 3.67% APR. The 7.39% penalty box still includes Maverick, Expedition, and Lightning.
The Escape fell apart in June. Ford Motor Credit pushed its rate from 5.30% to 7.39% APR (MF 0.00221 to 0.00308) and cut customer cash from $4,000 to $3,000. The Escape Active FWD that ran ~$363/month in May now lands near ~$432/month. The cash no longer rescues the rate.
Almost everything else held. The Explorer stays at 5.50% APR across all 11 trims and is now the clear best pick by default. The Mustang EcoBoost holds 3.50% APR (though the GT lost its $500 cash), and the Bronco Sport holds 3.67% APR. The 7.39% penalty box is as crowded as ever, and the Escape just joined it.

June 2026 Ford Lineup: Rate Map
Ford Motor Credit still runs two tiers. The Explorer, Mustang, Bronco Sport, Mach-E, and most F-150 SuperCrew configs get competitive or tolerable rates. Ranger, Maverick, Expedition, F-150 Lightning, the Dark Horse, and certain F-150 cabs run MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR). The June change is the Escape moving from the good tier into the penalty box.

MF x 2400 = approximate APR. 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region. Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 14 2026.
Verdict — Lineup
Lease the Mustang for rate, the Bronco Sport for a compact SUV, or the Explorer for three rows. Skip the Escape this month, it jumped to the penalty rate. Everything in the 7.39% box is a finance car, not a lease.
Escape — Rate Wall, Cash Cut
In May the Escape ran 5.30% APR with $4,000 cash, and the cash made it work. In June the rate jumped to MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR) and the cash dropped to $3,000. The Active FWD that was ~$363/month is now ~$432. Every non-PHEV trim took the same hit, roughly $65 to $75 more per month. The PHEV is worse: cash fell from $8,000 to $5,000 on the same 7.39% rate and 48% residual.
| Trim | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | RV (36/12K) | Cash | ~Monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active FWD | $30,350 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | 55% | $3,000 | ~$432 |
| ST-Line FWD | $31,995 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | 55% | $3,000 | ~$460 |
| Active AWD | $31,845 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | 55% | $3,000 | ~$458 |
| ST-Line AWD | $33,995 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | 56% | $3,000 | ~$486 |

| PHEV FWD | $43,995 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | 48% | $5,000 | ~$682 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region. Customer cash applied as cap cost reduction ($3,000 non-PHEV, $5,000 PHEV). Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Escape: May to June Change
MF 0.00221 to 0.00308 (5.30% to 7.39% APR), cash $4,000 to $3,000. Active FWD ~$363 to ~$432/mo, ST-Line AWD ~$413 to ~$486, Platinum AWD ~$551 to ~$624. Roughly $65 to $75 more per month on every trim.
Verdict — Escape
Skip the Escape lease this month. At 7.39% APR the $3,000 cash no longer covers the rate, and the PHEV is worse on 48% residual. Finance it, or cross-shop a Bronco Sport at 3.67%.
Explorer — Still the Best Three-Row Lease
The Explorer holds MF 0.00229 (5.50% APR) on all 11 trims, unchanged from May. From the Active w/100A RWD at $38,465 to the Platinum 4WD at $56,500, the rate is identical. The 4WD Active, ST-Line, and Tremor trims carry 65% residuals, the best in the lineup. The 24-month option runs MF 0.00302 (7.25% APR), so stay at 36 months.
| Trim | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | RV (36/12K) | ~Monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active w/100A RWD | $38,465 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 64% | ~$529 |
| Active w/200A RWD | $40,260 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 64% | ~$554 |
| ST-Line RWD | $43,500 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 64% | ~$598 |
| Active w/200A 4WD | $42,260 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 65% | ~$571 |
| ST-Line 4WD | $45,500 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 65% | ~$614 |
| Tremor 4WD | $53,500 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 65% | ~$722 |
| Platinum RWD | $55,000 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 61% | ~$799 |
| Platinum 4WD | $56,500 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 62% | ~$806 |
| ST 4WD | $58,700 | 0.00229 | 5.50% | 63% | ~$822 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region. Cap = MSRP ($1,000 cash available, not applied above). 24-month rate is 0.00302 (7.25% APR). Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Verdict — Explorer
The Active w/200A 4WD is the sweet spot: $42,260, 65% residual, 5.50% APR, ~$571/month before the $1,000 cash. With the Escape gone, the Explorer is the clear Ford SUV lease this month. Unchanged from May.
Mustang — Best Sports Car Rate, GT Cash Gone
The Mustang EcoBoost holds MF 0.00146 (3.50% APR), the sharpest rate in the lineup. The GT trims run the same 0.00146 with better residuals (62%), but Ford dropped the $500 GT cash this month, so the GT Fastback rises about $14 to ~$627/month. The Dark Horse stays at MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR), a finance car at ~$1,140/month. The 24-month term is 0.00272 (6.53% APR), so stay at 36.
| Trim | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | RV (36/12K) | ~Monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EcoBoost Fastback | $32,640 | 0.00146 | 3.50% | 58% | ~$456 |
| EcoBoost Premium Fastback | $38,340 | 0.00146 | 3.50% | 58% | ~$536 |
| GT Fastback | $48,555 | 0.00146 | 3.50% | 62% | ~$627 |
| GT Premium Fastback | $53,075 | 0.00146 | 3.50% | 62% | ~$686 |
| GT Premium Convertible | $58,000 | 0.00146 | 3.50% | 59% | ~$795 |
| Dark Horse Fastback | $65,075 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | 54% | ~$1,140 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region. Cap = MSRP (GT $500 cash removed this month). Dark Horse: MF 0.00308, finance only. Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Verdict — Mustang
The EcoBoost Fastback at ~$456/month and 3.50% APR is the best sports-car lease rate in the lineup. The GT is still strong despite losing its $500 cash. Skip the Dark Horse on lease, finance it.
Bronco Sport — Sharpest Compact Rate
The Bronco Sport holds MF 0.00153 (3.67% APR), the best rate in the compact SUV segment. The Big Bend at $31,845 runs ~$440/month with no cash needed. Stick with 36 months, where the 3.67% rate beats the 24-month 0.00184 (4.42% APR).
| Trim | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | RV (36/12K) | ~Monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big Bend | $31,845 | 0.00153 | 3.67% | 59% | ~$440 |
| Heritage | $33,995 | 0.00153 | 3.67% | 57% | ~$488 |
| Outer Banks | $35,995 | 0.00153 | 3.67% | 56% | ~$526 |
| Badlands | $40,495 | 0.00153 | 3.67% | 55% | ~$602 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region. Cap = MSRP (no cash). Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Verdict — Bronco Sport
The Big Bend at ~$440/month and 3.67% APR is the best compact SUV lease at Ford, and the natural replacement for the Escape this month.
Mustang Mach-E — 24 Months Is the Right Term
The Mach-E is unchanged from May, and it still has the unusual structure where 24 months beats 36. At 36 months it runs MF 0.00189 (4.54% APR); at 24 months it drops to MF 0.00165 (3.96% APR) with residuals 7 to 8 points higher. All trims get $2,000 customer cash either way. Model both terms, the 24-month math often wins.
| Trim | MSRP | MF 36mo | MF 24mo | RV 36/12K | ~Mo (36mo)* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Select RWD | $37,795 | 0.00189 | 0.00165 | 52% | ~$553 |
| Select AWD | $39,840 | 0.00189 | 0.00165 | 53% | ~$576 |
| Premium RWD | $42,640 | 0.00189 | 0.00165 | 51% | ~$643 |
| Premium AWD | $45,000 | 0.00189 | 0.00165 | 52% | ~$670 |
| GT AWD | $55,440 | 0.00189 | 0.00165 | 51% | ~$853 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region. $2,000 customer cash applied as cap cost reduction. 24-month (MF 0.00165 + higher RV) often produces a lower payment, model both. Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Verdict — Mach-E
Only lease the Mach-E at 24 months, where the lower rate and higher residual offset the shorter term. At 36 months the 4.54% APR is mediocre for an EV. Unchanged from May.
F-150 — SuperCrew Configs Only
The F-150 lease still depends entirely on cab. Regular Cab and most SuperCab configs run MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR). Stick to SuperCrew. The XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum SuperCrew trims run MF 0.00225 (5.40% APR); the XL and Tremor run 0.00239 (5.74%). XLT now carries $1,000 customer cash, up from $750 in May. The Raptor SuperCrew avoids the trap at 5.74% APR.
| Config (SuperCrew) | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | RV (36/12K) | ~Monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLT 2WD 5.5-box | $44,695 | 0.00225 | 5.40% | 61% | ~$616 |
| XLT 4WD 5.5-box | $48,000 | 0.00225 | 5.40% | 63% | ~$639 |
| XL 2WD 5.5-box | $38,790 | 0.00239 | 5.74% | 61% | ~$569 |
| Lariat 4WD 5.5-box | $62,355 | 0.00225 | 5.40% | 65% | ~$838 |
| King Ranch 4WD 5.5-box | $75,000 | 0.00225 | 5.40% | 65% | ~$1,008 |
| Raptor 4WD 5.5-box | $82,000 | 0.00239 | 5.74% | 59% | ~$1,245 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region, SuperCrew 5.5-box. XLT: $1,000 cash applied; other trims cap = MSRP. Regular Cab and most SuperCab configs run MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR). MSRPs estimated. Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Verdict — F-150
Only the SuperCrew configs lease. The XLT 2WD at ~$616/month with $1,000 cash is the value pick. Avoid Regular Cab and SuperCab, they sit at the 7.39% rate. Unchanged from May aside from the slightly larger XLT cash.
Avoid — The 7.39% APR Penalty Box
These lines run elevated rates with little FMC subsidy. The Maverick, Expedition and Expedition Max, and F-150 Lightning all run MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR). The Ranger runs 0.00279 (6.70% APR) on standard trims, with the Raptor at 0.00308. The Escape joined this group in June. Finance these or wait for the program to improve.
| Model (example trim) | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | ~Monthly* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maverick XL FWD | $28,145 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | ~$417 |
| Ranger Lariat 4WD | $43,350 | 0.00279 | 6.70% | ~$621 |
| Expedition Active 4x4 | $62,700 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | ~$1,007 |
| F-150 Lightning STX | $54,995 | 0.00308 | 7.39% | ~$849 |
*Pre-tax, 36mo/12K miles, Northeast region, cap = MSRP, no incentives applied. Maverick/Expedition/Lightning: MF 0.00308 (7.39% APR). Ranger standard: 0.00279 (6.70% APR). Data: Ford Motor Credit, June 2026.
Verdict — Avoid
None of these lease well. Finance the Maverick, Ranger, Expedition, and Lightning, or wait for a better program. The Escape now belongs here too.
Payment Math & Assumptions
- Cap cost = MSRP by default. No dealer discount or down payment. Estimates with customer cash applied (Escape, Mach-E, F-150 XLT) note the reduced cap cost used.
- Term: 36 months / 12,000 miles per year (except where 24-month noted for Mach-E). All residuals use the 12K tier.
- Pre-tax and pre-fees. Add your state's lease tax, FMC acquisition fee (~$595 to $695), dealer doc fee, and first-month payment at signing.
- MF is the published FMC buy rate. Dealers can mark up the money factor. Even 0.0010 over buy rate adds $30 to $45/month on a $45K vehicle. Confirm the exact MF in writing before signing.
- Formula used: Monthly = (Cap minus Residual) / Term + (Cap + Residual) x MF, where Residual = MSRP x RV%.
- Conditional offers excluded. Military, College Grad, and First Responder ($500 each, not stackable) apply on most models for eligible buyers. Not reflected above.
