For The First Time In Six Years, Ford Won't Win North American Truck Of The Year

The 2027 truck lineup from NACTOY has excluded the long-dominant Ford F-150, shifting focus to the Slate, Ram, and GM brands as the standout contenders. Industry observers note this as a significant departure, given the F-150’s decades-long reign as the best-selling truck in North America. The selection highlights a growing emphasis on alternative designs and brand strategies in the competitive truck market. Details on what sets these three apart—and why the F-150 was left off—could reshape expectations for the next generation of work and lifestyle vehicles.
