Ford Bronco and Maverick Honored in Car and Driver’s “10Best Trucks and SUVs” List
Ford started the new year strong by revealing that two of their popular vehicles – the rugged Ford Bronco and Ford Maverick – were recently honored by Car and Driver in the publication’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs list. For Bronco, it marks the second year in a row appearing on such a list.
Ford stated that the vehicles were evaluated on a 100-point scale by Car and Driver staff and chosen based on the publication’s standards. Those standards specifically addressed whether a given model delivers on the vehicle’s intended purpose better than its competition, whether it offers a great value, and if it’s entertaining to drive.
“It’s an honor to see Maverick and Bronco receive this recognition,” said Jim Baumbick, vice president, Ford product development operations, cycle planning and internal combustion engine programs. “Both vehicles are the result of intensely focusing on meeting customer needs and providing iconic vehicles they love to drive.”
What the Car and Driver Experts Think:
“The Maverick makes a very strong case for a compact pickup. The cab doesn’t require a big climb to get into. Loading its bed doesn’t mean lifting heavy cargo four feet off the ground. And the sightlines actually allow you to see what’s in front of you. Easy to own, easy to use, and easy to live with, the Maverick proves that when done right, a compact truck is the just-enough truck.”
“Although the hype is passing and Broncos are now a common sight, we’re still smitten with this SUV, which combines supreme open-air off-road chops with tolerable highway manners. Recent additions to the lineup include the retro Heritage model, the swamp-creature Everglades, and the all-conquering Raptor, which hits 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and comes with tires that would do it proud at the King of the Hammers competition.”
Beyond earning their places within Car and Driver’s 10Best list, both the Bronco and Maverick have also won the following recent awards or been otherwise honored in the additional publications below:
