Ford Makes 10Best Trucks and SUVs List 

Car and Driver recently added the 2023 Ford Bronco and Ford Maverick to its 10Best Trucks and SUVs list. As an automotive magazine, Car and Driver collects data and research about many different vehicles within various segments. The online magazine then compiles its data into a list and rates each vehicle using a 100-point scale. The criteria used for the scaling consist of three metrics:

1. The vehicle’s intended purpose.
2. The vehicle’s overall value.
3. How entertaining it is to drive the vehicle. 

About the Ford Bronco and Ford Maverick, Ford’s product development vice president Jim Baumbick said,

“It’s an honor to see Maverick and Bronco receive this recognition,” said Jim Baumbick. “Both vehicles are the result of intensely focusing on meeting customer needs and providing iconic vehicles they love to drive.”
