Welcome To The Sunrise Ford
Sunrise Ford is proud to be a premier destination for Ford’s in the Sunshine State, happily serving thousands of customers since 1932 when a V8 Ford sold for roughly $400! Sunrise Ford is one of the longest-standing dealers in Florida and has grown immensely ever since its humble beginnings at the foot of the Citrus Overpass in downtown Fort Pierce. For almost a century, Sunrise Ford has grown to become an integral part of the Fort Pierce community and wishes to continue doing so in the future! Having started on the shoulders of 14 employees who worked out of a small building in downtown Fort Pierce — Sunrise Ford has grown into one of the largest dealerships on Florida’s Treasure Coast, with more than 80 employees!
The dealership, conveniently located on 16 acres between Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie, includes a spacious main facility with high-tech service and body shop departments. A separate building houses our used truck department, the largest used pickup sales destination in the area. While many of our core values remain the same, one thing has not, Sunrise Ford has consistently ranked as one of the highest volume and highest customer satisfaction dealerships in Florida!
When Sunrise Ford opened its doors, Fort Pierce was a sleepy fishing and cattle town. World War II brought hundreds of Navy men to the area, who trained on Hutchinson Island to become combat divers, known as the Frogmen. Many of those veterans returned to the Treasure Coast to raise their families. Several remember that Sunrise Ford had the only tow truck in town and often rescued Navy vehicles stuck in the sandy dunes.
After the war, the area flourished with a strong economy based on agriculture, tourism, and real estate development. Sunrise Ford grew with the community and built one of the first “green” dealerships in the state with solar panels, high-impact glass, and recycled materials. Its Internet Department attracts customers from several nearby counties due to its professional Ford-certified sales representatives and its huge inventory of cars and trucks. “If you don’t see what you want on our website, chances are our staff can locate it within 24 hours.”
Sunrise Ford has also been fortunate to have a long-tenured staff that excels in both sales and service! We welcome all visitors from our beautiful Sunshine State and Treasure Coast, as well as those from out of the state!

Great customer experience Let me preface this with the fact that i have never took the time to post any comments online...ever! So you know this must have made an impression on Let me preface this with the fact that i have never took the time to post any comments online...ever! So you know this must have made an impression on me. I recently purchased a 2013 F-150 FX2 and just had to express how impressed I was with Mr. Wetteland and the experience I had. I have bought 2 vehicles from sunrise ford in the past but had not bought a new vehicle in over 10 years (had my last ford for 12+ years). Even though I haven't been there in over a decade, I was treated like I bought a car there every year. I have never bought a new vehicle from another dealership and cant see any reason I would. I am proud to say that customer service is alive and well at that dealership. Feels good to know that some places still hold on to that hometown dealership feel and way of doing business. Also, I LOVE THE TRUCK! More

New 2014 Fusion Hybrid I recently purchased my second vehicle from Sunrise Ford and once again it was a great experience. I had done a lot a research on line before hand an I recently purchased my second vehicle from Sunrise Ford and once again it was a great experience. I had done a lot a research on line before hand and was able to specify the vehicle with the options and in the color I wanted. Although the dealership did not have the exact vehicle I wanted in stock on site they did locate it for me. They gave me an excellent price on my trade and even dealt with my not so fabulous credit score. Carol Lancaster was my sales consultant. She was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. After my initial test drive I did delay my purchase for about a month for my own personal reasons not related to the dealership. I have been driving my new car now for 4 days and it is great. I have received email and calls from the dealership to make sure everything was going well and even helped me with how to change the settings on my navigation system. I am completely satisfied with my interaction. More

Mark Gallagher was very helpful and polite in assisting with the purchase of a new F250 he had to work with myself and the owner of the company to make everything work out Mark spent a great deal of time c with the purchase of a new F250 he had to work with myself and the owner of the company to make everything work out Mark spent a great deal of time communicating with the both of us making sure we had all the information he put in a lot of time to make sure we were both happy with the truck and the financing options chosen. After getting everything done and signed Jeff made sure to go over everything in detail so our experience with the truck went smooth. I have received follow up calls from the dealership and Jeff to make sure we are happy with the truck and if there was anything he could help with that we might not understand. More

I was in the market for a new car and after a lot of online research decided the Mustang GT should fit the bill. After viewing the online inventory of several sites, I determined that Sunrise Ford had a online research decided the Mustang GT should fit the bill. After viewing the online inventory of several sites, I determined that Sunrise Ford had a very nice selection in various price ranges. I submitted the online information request and Mark Gallagher was prompt with an email response, followed up with a phone call. I then visited the dealership a couple days later to take a look at the Mustangs and met Jason Bombaci. Jason was very informative while explaining the differences between the models. I was not able to make a buying decision that day as I needed some time to make an informed decision. After a few more days or changing my mind between the models I made my purchase and am now the proud owner of a Mustang GT. Both Mark and Jason were very responsive to my questions via email and were great to work with. During the purchasing process I also had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Dolan and Rebecca Lassiter. Rebecca took the time to explain the warranty info along with describing the service facilities. Kevin also took the time to explain the various charges on the different forms in detail, which was a welcome change for me at least. Most times the dealerships I have dealt with seem more concerned with selling an extended warranty then the actual vehicle purchase. All in all, my buying experience went very well. Everyone I met was friendly and professional. I would not hesitate to purchase my next vehicle from Sunrise Ford. More
