Motor Trend magazine named Ford's 2012 F-150 its Truck of the Year, edging out the Nissan NV commercial van, the Ram HD Laramie Longhorn and the Toyota Tacoma.
The magazine's editors presented the award to Mark Fields, Ford president of the Americas, at a ceremony at the company's headquarters in Dearborn.
"We are proud to receive this award and even more pleased that our F-150 customers have additional validation of their choice," Fields said in a statement.
