• Best Full-Size Truck: 2024 Ford F-150
• Best Electric Truck: 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning
• Best Full-Size SUV: 2024 Ford Expedition

KBB mentions that the Ford F-150 – available in has and hybrid models, in addition to the F-150 Lightning “continues to exceed buyers’ expectations.” It’s the 10^th straight year F-150 has earned Best Full-Size Truck Buy.

The go-to buyer’s guide also notes that the Maverick, which is also available in gas and hybrid models, “provides light-duty pickup goodness in an attractive package with multiple personalities,” and that the Expedition, “boasts…things you would not expect from a full-size SUV,” and that the F-150 Lightning “takes convenience to new heights by providing in-bed [Pro Power Onboard], allowing you to cook on the go with a powered-up crockpot en route to your in-laws.”

The annual Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards are based on the analysis of the vehicle-related data that includes pricing, consumer reviews and ratings, five-year cost to own information – including depreciation, insurance, maintenance, financing, fuel, fees and taxes for new cars – plus consumer reviews and ratings and vehicle safety information.
