When you choose a Ford from Performance Ford Bountiful, you’re not just getting a vehicle; you’re investing in an award-winning experience. Let’s dive into some of the prestigious national awards that 2025 Ford models have already garnered, demonstrating their leadership in key segments:

The Highly Coveted North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle of the Year (NACTOY) Awards

One of the most prestigious and respected honors in the automotive industry, the NACTOY awards are determined by an independent jury of 50 professional automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. These awards recognize vehicles that set benchmarks in their segments based on innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, driver satisfaction, user experience, and value.

For 2025, Ford has proudly driven away with a top honor:

• 2025 North American Truck of the Year™: Ford Ranger The all-new Ford Ranger has captured the highly sought-after NACTOY Truck of the Year award, a testament to its exceptional blend of rugged capability, advanced technology, and overall versatility. Jurors praised the Ranger for its “Built Ford Tough” durability, impressive towing figures, powerful yet efficient engine options (including the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® and available 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6), and a redesigned interior that prioritizes both comfort and utility. This award solidifies the Ranger’s position as a leading choice in the midsize pickup segment, proving it’s ready for both demanding work and thrilling adventures.

Dominating the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards

For businesses and fleet managers, total cost of ownership is paramount. Vincentric, a leading automotive data compilation and analysis firm, conducts rigorous analysis across eight cost factors (depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs) to determine vehicles with the lowest lifecycle costs. Ford Pro, Ford’s dedicated commercial vehicle division, has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional value, securing multiple Vincentric awards for 2025 Ford products:

• 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid XL Supercrew FWD – Best Fleet Value in America: Small Pickup segment (fourth consecutive win for Maverick!)

• 2025 Ford F-350 XL Crew Cab 2WD LWB SRW – Best Fleet Value in America: Full-Size 1-Ton Pickup segment (ninth time for F-350 XL!) Another powerhouse from the Super Duty lineup, the F-350’s repeated recognition highlights its exceptional value for businesses requiring serious towing and hauling capabilities. Its consistent performance in this category speaks volumes about its enduring quality and low ownership costs.
• 2025 Ford T350 Vans XLT Low Roof RWD 148 – Best Fleet Value in America: Full-Size 1-Ton Passenger Van segment (fourth time, third consecutive for T350 Vans!)
