Two Ford Models Are Car and Driver’s 10Best
Ford has kicked off 2023 by announcing that two of their models – the Ford Bronco and Ford Maverick – have been recognized by Car and Driver in the 10Best Trucks and SUVs list. For Bronco, it marks the second consecutive year appearing on such a list.
According to Ford, the vehicles were reviewed on a 100-point scale by Car and Driver editors and selected based on the publication’s criteria: delivering on the vehicle’s intended purpose better than its competition, offering great value, and 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 Experts Say:
“Although the hype is passing and Broncos are now a common site, we’re still 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.”
“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.”
In addition to being recognized as a Car and Driver 10Best, both the Bronco and Maverick has also earned the following:
