North American Truck of the Year award criteria 

The North American Truck of the Year award is one of three awards given annually from an independent jury of automotive journalists who reside in Canada and the United States. The other awards include a “North American Car of the Year” award and a “North American Utility Vehicle of the Year” award which was given to the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E this year. All three awards are highly prestigious and a good benchmark of a quality vehicle. 

The criteria for these awards are based on several factors that cumulatively add up to the driver’s satisfaction with a vehicle and the value of the vehicle for the amount paid. These factors include innovation, design, safety, and handling. That means that the 2021 Ford F-150 is a truck that many people are satisfied with which is no surprise to our team here at Sherwood Ford.
