2011 Ford Explorer is Named Truck of the Year

The 2011 Ford Explorer has been named the North American Truck of the Year. This is the third year in a row that Ford has won in this category, last year the winner being the Transit Connect and the F-150 in 2009. In the history of this award, Ford has won the title seven times.

The North American Truck of the Year winner is chosen by a panel of 49 judges from the United States and Canada. These judges are automotive journalists who work with media platforms ranging from print to television to radio. One judge, Mark Phelan representing The Detroit Free Press, commented on the Explorer stating that the vehicle provides “class-leading fuel economy and technology and features you can’t get in luxury crossovers that cost twice as much”. *

Mark Fields, Executive Vice President of Ford Motor Company as well as President of the Americas, accepted the award on behalf of the company. In his acceptance speech, Fields was quoted saying “Winning this honor for the third consecutive year confirms our One Ford plan is working to deliver vehicles people truly want and value, with industry-leading quality, fuel efficiency, safety and smart technology.” **
