DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 10, 2025 marks 5 years in a row for Ford trucks as Ford Ranger® is named the 2025 North American Truck of the Year™ by the 2025 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year™ awards committee. This unprecedented achievement underscores Ford's continued leadership, capability and innovation in the truck segment.
To be recognized as the North American Truck of the Year™, vehicles must be new or substantially changed for the year. The independent and unbiased jury of 50 automotive journalists who produce content for a variety of print, broadcast and digital media in the United States and Canada choose a winner based on innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, user experience, driver satisfaction and value.
"Earning this recognition celebrates our team’s dedication to continuously raising the bar for midsize truck customers," said Jim Baumbick, vice president, Advanced Product Development, Cycle Plan, and Programs. "We rigorously tested Ranger in challenging environments around the world to deliver the Built Ford Tough durability our customers demand. This award is a tribute to our customers who inspire us every day."
The Ford Ranger, engineered Built Ford Tough®, is the most connected and capable Ranger ever. Rigorously tested globally—from the Australian outback to American highways—the Ranger has proven its readiness for almost any adventure on six continents. In fact, Ford Ranger was Australia’s best-selling vehicle again this year and the best-selling vehicle for the 10th year in a row in New Zealand.
The Ranger® Raptor® pickup is the most high-performance off-road capable Ranger ever and is designed and engineered by Ford Performance to take off-road capability to the next level among midsize trucks. The Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor are proudly assembled in America at the Michigan Assembly Plant, representing a continuation of Ford’s legacy of building trucks that are as tough and capable as the people who drive them.
