The awards just keep rolling in for the Ford F-150… Toughness and durability have now merged with prestige and accolades. The Ford F-150 has been named the 2012 Motor Trend Truck of the Year.

Honestly, we’re not surprised – there really isn’t any competition when it comes to capability, power and performance. Thanks to it’s best-in-class towing capacity (11,300 lbs.), it can haul more than any other truck in its class – up to 3,120 pounds!

But as any Ford truck fan knows, it’s not just about the sheer power of the F-150. Ford has made a commitment to focus all of its vehicles on what’s important to every buyer these days – fuel efficiency. The F-150 offers best-in-class standard V6 power along with class-leading fuel economy with EPA-estimated 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

Motor Trend also noted that the available EcoBoost engine is beyond impressive. EcoBoost delivers a combination of efficiency and capability that’s unheard of in any other truck.

Inside, the F-150 is all about comfort – it’s user-friendly and quiet, with the most usable cab space in its class. The F-150 also offers a class-exclusive driver configurable LCD productivity screen that shows fuel economy, towing, and off-road information. Paired with Ford SYNC and the available Navigation System, the F-150 keeps the driver connected and informed beyond the capabilities of any other truck.

“The Ford F-150’s considerable strengths stood out in sharp relief against the competition. By offering high tech features like SYNC and EcoBoost, Ford has clearly taken a leadership position in the market and demonstrated a commitment to making the F-150 not just the best selling truck in America, but perhaps the most versatile,” said Edward Loh, Editor-in-Chief of Motor Trend.
