The North American International Auto Show is finishing it’s first week…so this post is a tad on the late side. Whatever. Anyway the NA Truck of the Year was announced and the winner was the Ford F-150. In second place was the new Dodge Ram pickup, following in third was the Mercedes ML320 BlueTEC. Seeing as the F-150 has the highest available towing capacity, payload capacity, and unsurpassed fuel economy, it’s not really a big shock that the F-150 beat the second place contender by more than double.
The F-150 also beat out new entries such as the Honda Pilot, Infiniti FX35/50, Nissan Murano, and Subaru Forester (Motor Trend’s 2009 Sport Utility of the Year.) Considering the F-150 has been the best selling truck for over 30 consecutive years, and was once again the best selling vehicle in 2008, marking the 23rd straight year that the F-150 has held that title (no, not the Toyota Camry or the Honda Accord.)
