Why did the Ford F-150 win?

When it comes to trucks doing truck things, the F-150 simply does them better than any truck on the market. There's a configuration and powertrain available for nearly everyone to get the job done, whether that job be pulling a heavy trailer, heading off-road to a campsite or simply taking the kids to school. It's also comfortable and loaded with the latest driver assist features Ford has on offer. You can even equip the F-150 with cool features you won't find on any other truck on the market, such as a conveniently built-in truck bed scale and a large fold-out desk surface for anyone who needs to get work done with their truck on the go.

"When you think of innovation, a full-size pickup truck probably doesn't come first to mind. But in an effort to woo over buyers, manufacturers have put a lot of new thinking into the traditional American workhorse. This year, no one has done that better than Ford." — Jonathan Elfalan, director, vehicle testing

The F-150’s Pro Power Onboard is simply genius. This onboard generator can be used to power tools, household appliances and even a house during a power outage.
