It’s an honor just to be nominated, so they say. While it’s great to be recognized, it’s even sweeter when you hear your name called as a winner. That’s the case this year when Kelley Blue Book announced its Best Buy Award winners. Thankfully, Ford came home with four awards from KBB. That’s news worth celebrating at Crain Ford of Little Rock.
Why is this a big deal? Kelley Blue Book is the gold standard in the automotive industry when it comes to vehicle research. Not only do they provide top-tier information about all makes and models, but they are also everyone’s go-to for vehicle pricing information. Their Blue Book Trade-In Values and Kelly Blue Book Price Advisor tool are used by millions every day.
After driving many different vehicles and hours of research, KBB came up with its list of Best Buy Awards from all the cars on the market. Before deciding upon the winners, they take into account the reliability of the vehicle historically as well as resale value. The main purpose of the awards is to help you, the driver, know which car you should buy if you had to buy one today.
Once all awards were announced, we found out that KBB bestowed Ford with four top honors. Winning definitely was better than just being nominated. Let’s take a closer look at why KBB awarded each of these Fords with a 2024 Best Buy Award.
Best Full-Sized SUV: 2024 Ford Expedition
The Ford Expedition is a winner, according to KBB, because they loved its spacious cabin that comfortably fits eight, along with its impressive towing capacity of 9,300 pounds. And let’s not forget about the intuitive infotainment and towing tech that makes every journey enjoyable. Safety is also a top priority with its excellent safety suite that comes standard. Best of all, you can get all this starting at just $55,525, which is the main reason the Expedition is the best choice for your adventures.
Best Compact Pickup: 2024 Ford Maverick
According to KBB, the Best Compact Pickup belongs to the Ford Maverick. With its hybrid powertrain and exceptional fuel economy, this little truck is a big deal. We already knew that but now KBB has acknowledged it as well. Not to mention its impressive 4,000-pound max tow rating. And here’s the best part. It’s affordably priced at only $23,400.
Best Full-Sized Pickup: 2024 Ford F-150
When you check out the ultimate powerhouse in full-sized pickups, the Ford F-150, you’ll see why KBB named it Best Full-Sized Pickup. With unbeatable payload and towing capacity, it’s no wonder this award-winning truck is at the top. As an added bonus, the available Pro Power Onboard turns it into a generator! Plus, no worries about breaking the bank, as it starts at just $36,570.
Best Electric Truck: 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning
The F-150 Lightning was crowned the Best Electric Truck for 2023 by KBB. Being the first and only winner in this new category, it showcases the groundbreaking progress of EVs, with Ford at the top. With a remarkable 320-mile range, lightning-fast acceleration, and cutting-edge tech features, all at an affordable price of around $50,000, the F-150 Lightning truly deserves this title for the second year in a row.
