Ford is one of the most exciting brands on the planet, and there’s a lot of hardware that can back that up. In addition to winning the hearts of drivers all across the world, Ford is one of the most honored brands among critics and experts, with several of its latest vehicles picking up big-time accolades.
Ford Super Duty: 2024 North American Truck of the Year™
The 2024 Ford Super Duty is the smartest, toughest, most powerful, and most capable yet. And it adds the title of 2024 North American Truck of the Year™ to its fast-growing list of accolades and superlatives. The Super Duty won out on the strength of class-leading towing and output as well as new features like Pro Power Onboard and Onboard Scales. With its victory, the Super Duty becomes the fourth Ford truck to win North American Truck of the Year in as many years, joining the F-150 Lightning (2023), Maverick (2022), and F-150 (2021).
Ford F-150 Lightning: 2024 Edmunds Top Rated Electric Truck
For the second year in a row, the Ford F-150 Lightning is Edmunds’ Top Rated Electric Truck. Edmunds Editor-in-Chief Alistair Weaver explains that the F-150 Lightning reigns supreme once again because “it feels less like an electric truck and more like a truck that just happens to be electric.”
Four Fords Win KBB Best Buy Awards 2024
What’s better than winning a Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award? Winning more than any other brand. Ford picked up four KBB Best Buy Awards in 2024: Best Compact Truck (Maverick), Best Full-Size Truck (F-150), Best Electric Truck (F-150 Lightning), and Best Full-Size SUV (Expedition). Impressively, the F-150 has now won Best Full-Size Truck Buy from KBB for 10 consecutive years.
Ford F-Series: America’s Bestselling Truck for 47 Years
Ford has done it again. The F-Series was America’s bestselling truck in 2023, marking 47 years of dominance in the pickup segment. 2023 also marked the 42nd year in which the F-Series was America’s bestselling vehicle overall. And Ford is showing that it’s ahead of the curve in the transition to greener vehicles with the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid landing as the No. 1 full-size full-hybrid truck and the F-150 Lightning reigning as America’s top electric pickup for the second straight year.
The all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning continues to shock the world, and it certainly shocked the judges behind the 2023 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year™ awards. The F-150 Lightning secured Ford’s third consecutive North American Truck of the Year™ award with experts praising everything from its familiar yet exciting design, impressive power and range, and world-class technologies.
The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning isn’t the only new Blue Oval vehicle to win big at the North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year™ awards of late. In fact, Ford has now won five in three years with wins for the F-150 and Mustang Mach-E in 2021 and Maverick and Bronco in 2022. And with more exciting new vehicles from Ford on the horizon, you can expect this trend to continue in the years ahead.
With 2022 in the books, the Ford F-Series can now lay claim to the title of America’s bestselling truck for 46 consecutive years. Ford sold more than 650,000 F-Series trucks across the United States in 2022, easily surpassing rival brands and cruising to another dominant year. 2022 also marked the first time — and likely not the last — that it had America’s bestselling electric pickup truck.
The new Ford F-150 Lightning achieves yet another impressive feat by becoming the first electric truck to win the MotorTrend Truck of the Year with a unanimous vote. The judges at MotorTrend were floored by the F-150 Lightning, with head of editorial Ed Loh going as far as calling it “a milestone achievement in the history of American mobility.”
In yet another big win for the Ford F-150 Lightning, the first-ever electric F-Series truck scored a double win by picking up Edmunds’ Top Rated Electric Truck and Best of the Best 2023 awards. These accolades not only solidify Ford as the brand to beat for world-class electric pickup trucks — it also makes Ford Edmunds’ most-awarded brand of 2023.
Another contributor to Ford being Edmunds’ most-awarded brand of 2023 is the ever-reliable F-150. Thanks to its impressive strength, capabilities, and innovation, the new Ford F-150 earns the title of Edmunds Top Rated Truck for 2023.
In a testament to the power of today’s Ford lineup, four key vehicles won the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards for their respective segments in 2023. The big winners from the Blue Oval are the new Expedition, Maverick, F-150, and F-150 Lightning.
Every year, auto fans wait with bated breath to see which new vehicles will make the Car and Driver 10Best list. In 2023, the Ford Bronco made its second consecutive appearance on the list, where it was joined by the new Ford Maverick. C&D praised the Bronco for, among other things, a deep model lineup that now includes Everglades, Raptor, and Heritage Edition variants. The Maverick earned plaudits for its incredible hybrid fuel economy, impressive capabilities, and driver- and passenger-friendly proportions.
