Ford Maverick and Mustang earn Consumer Guide’s recognition 

Are you wondering what is Consumer Guide’s best small truck for 2024? That would be the Ford Maverick. Another Ford model, the Ford Mustang, also earned a title in this year’s buyer’s guide. Keep reading below with Sherwood Ford of Sherwood Park, AB, to learn how the Ford Maverick and Mustang have earned Consumer Guide’s recognition. 



Why did the Maverick earn the best small truck for 2024 award? 

Consumer Guide likes the Ford Maverick for its “space-efficient interior, lots of cleverly designed cargo-carrying solutions, [and] very competitive base prices.” We couldn’t agree more that these are some of its key attributes, especially its affordability, which allows many people to find a truck in their price range. Consumer Guide says this truck is a best buy because it offers “truck utility in a practical, fun-to-drive, urban-friendly package.” 

 What title did the Ford Mustang earn this year? 

The Ford Mustang was named one of the best sporty performance cars of the year. Consumer Guide tells customers it’s a best buy because it offers “plenty of power, great handling, [and a] decent amount of cabin space.” The Ford Mustang is definitely known for its power and handling, which can be best experienced with a test drive. Schedule a test drive online and get behind the wheel. 

How are the Best Buy Award winners selected? 

Every year, the editorial team at Consumer Guide drives thousands of miles in vehicles from many automakers to determine which cars are the best. They judge these vehicles using objective criteria like price, fuel economy, resale value, features, and more. The final grades are compared, and winners are selected across various categories. The final result is a buying guide that consumers rely on to help find the most valuable vehicles on the market.
