KBB Pickup Truck Best Buy of 2018: 2018 Ford F-150
Kelley Blue Book gives these awards based on testing to cars who meet their "best bang for your buck" motto. There are 12 vehicle categories which are measured by vehicle pricing, consumer ratings, sales information, and one of the most important factors, the 5-year-cost-to-own price. See the video below for more insight on what each vehicle tested is measured on.
The 2018 Ford F-150 comes in a variety of models to fit every budget and need. It's recently received an upgrade to it's exterior and styling, so whichever model you choose you'll look good on the road. Aside from the base model engine, each option is also backed by a 10-speed transmission, serious towing power, and an almost sporty drive thanks to the aluminum body.
“For four years straight, the Ford F-150 has taken the pickup truck honors in our Best Buy competition. And, for four years straight, nobody else has come close to toppling it. This year, Ford updated the styling, added a new base engine, expanded the availability of its excellent 10-speed automatic, and promises to add a turbodiesel to its lineup of engines later this year,” KBB.com editors.
Motor Trend 2018 Truck of the Year: 2018 Ford F-150
Going up against two pickup variants from GM (a Chevy Colorado ZR2 and Duramax Turbodiesel Silverado, and GMC Sierra Denali), the Ford F-150 still took the title. Motor Trend takes many items into consideration when testing and judging the vehicles, which includes maxing out each trucks towing capacity, looking closely at the engines, inspecting interior features, and driving style. Ford's 2018 4x4 SuperCrew Lariat, 2018 4x4 Platinum, and 2018 Raptor SuperCrew took the cake in almost every category.
"Ford proved its superiority with an impressive range of trucks with a different grille and wheel-tire combo for every taste and ride and handling that have come a long way since 2015."
Ford recently spent over $1 billion to switch from a steel body to an aluminum body, which cost Ford in sales as well, but it was a part of their larger vision in reimagining a better pickup truck. The loss of weight due to this switch makes for better handling, precise steering, and more fun driving overall. You can see all the specifications and testing information on MotorTrend.com
It was unanimous. The Ford F-150 is Motor Trend’s 2018 Truck of the Year. “It was a pretty resounding win,” road test editor Chris Walton said. “Nothing really came close.”
